Congressman Steve King, Republican from Iowa, has always been my favorite loony politician, until Colorado State Representative Douglas Bruce, Republican from Colorado Springs, Colorado got into politics. He didn't run for office, but was appointed to fill a vacancy. He was sworn in in January. Here are just a few of the things Rep. Bruce has accomplished in his short political career:
The Colorado House of Representatives censured Rep. Douglas Bruce for kicking a newspaper photographer. (before he was sworn-in)
Demanded he get sworn-in with the full House in attendance.
Rep. Douglas Bruce made much of his decision to wait until five days after the opening of this year's legislative session to be sworn in despite appeals by his own party that he start on time. But records show the Colorado Springs Republican charged per diem, and received payment, as if he had started on day one.
Bruce angered his colleagues when he refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring Military and Veterans Appreciation Day. (with the gallery full of Veterans and Active Duty Personnel)
He was ordered to leave the podium of the Colorado House of Representatives on Monday after calling Mexican workers "illiterate peasants."
Compared himself to Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"

Well, he certainly likes to make a splash, doesn't he?
I guess that's the NICE way to say it.
