Beauprez explores alternate career paths

Both Ways Bob Beauprez is just a couple months from unemployment. So he's trying out new jobs to see what suits him.

First he asked us to consider him a journalist:

Reporters asked why Beauprez wouldn't reveal the source of the information after vowing Friday to "demonstrate we got our information legally."

"Why didn't Judith Miller reveal her source? Why didn't Bernstein and Woodward reveal their source?" Beauprez replied.

Then he tried out a career defending people who break the law for political gain:

"Our source - in my opinion - performed a great act of courage and public service..."

But I think that what Beauprez really wants to be is emperor. Like his buddy in the White House, he has confused serving the public with ruling it. If Candidate Beauprez has this little regard for Colorado law, just imagine what a Governor Beauprez might be like.

Playing What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up is probably loads of fun. And Beauprez should enjoy it while he can. The fact is that Beauprez's campaign violated federal law in order to launch a misleading attack on Bill Ritter.

In America, if you break the law, you go to jail. Beauprez's next job could be making license plates.
