Tom Tancredo, the self-admitted bomb thrower, is running for governor of Colorado by going all incendiary on Barack Obama, who, at last check, was not in the race.

It’s a strange tactic, but this is Tom Tancredo — friend to Ted Nugent — we’re talking about. And what Tancredo is talking about is invoking the 10th Amendment, fighting off the feds, defending Colorado’s sovereignty (which, in Tancredo-world, is under attack) and, of course, seeing to it that Obama is impeached, because what else would you want from your governor? ...

Last time I checked on Tancredo (this was in late April) he was in Oklahoma City as part of a protest against a planned visit by attorney general Eric Holder, whom Tancredo called — no surprise here either — a tyrant. Two questions come to mind: One, why would someone running for governor of Colorado attend a protest in, uh, Oklahoma? ... Two, why don’t any of his rivals .. have the nerve to call him on it? ...

4. I used to feel sorry

for poor Texans especially in Austin who are "represented" by Bush, Perry and Cruz but stupidity plays no favorites; even CO has its many crazies. Just means we have to work harder for Udall and be thankful Littwin is still writing columns, no thanks to the Denver Post.
