Parsing the puzzle that is Marc Holtzman

I dare anybody to read the Rocky Mountain News without getting a headache. Republican candidate for governor Marc Holtzman, apparently confusing attention with praise, sounded off with a hysterical web of accusations.

Holtzman claimed Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper wanted to cancel Christmas, an apparent allusion to Hickenlooper's attempt to include multiple religions in the city's holiday parade.

He accused Hickenlooper of running a Mason-like secret society, dedicated to destroying Christianity. "There's a secular, godless undertone to the policies of the administration... Happy holidays is a code word for the secular left."

Holtzman broke with the individualist policies of the Republican party to say that Hickenlooper should have somehow subverted the will of the people during the Initiative 100 debate.

He claimed that "Hickenlooper is running a 'rogue municipality' that encourages illegal immigrants to call Denver home." There's that rogue term again.

And then he claimed that Hickenlooper and uber-Republican, never-votes-against-Bush, toe-the-party-line, good ol' boy Bob Beauprez are somehow similar. "Bob Beauprez is Hickenlooper light... There's not a lot of difference between the two."

Uh, yeah.

I just about died when I saw in a google search that you filled in for Jay Marvin. That is a kick. I am an avid fan of Jay's old Chicago Radio Station, not a fan of Jay's, but that is cool!

He's clearly lost any contact with reality.

Next thing you'll hear him cawing about is 'Victory in Iraq'

Go tell it to the Marines.

I didn't fill in for Jay. I just did a segment, talking 'bout Romanoff and Ritter.
