It was a night filled with costumes, kegs, and partying. One problem, it took place at the Colorado Governor's Mansion.
photos posted on the internet show Governor Bill Ritter's 22-year-old son August Ritter III drinking from a keg at a recent masquerade party held at the historic home.
The other picture shows August Ritter and an unidentified female playing around with the state flag.
An invitation, reading, "Mansion Masquerade-Because Life is Too Tasty Not to Party"-
(Excerpt) Read more at myfoxcolorado.com ...
Some of the partying occurs on the 100-year-old mansion’s first floor, which is filled with historic art and antiques...

As for the online invitation’s suggestion that state troopers will be doing crowd control, Dreyer said that was an attempt at humor.

Hey, those are my legislators you’ve got pictured there!
No party affiliation mentioned - therefore, Democrat.
Had this been one of the Bush twins.....
If one of the Bush girls did this there would be screams for resignation.
I think I recognize Senator Blutarski in the front row.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

August Ritter III is going to make a great DemocRAT.
“therefore, Democrat”
nailed it.
Getting ready for the DNC in August
If you're going to "give" someone a "mansion" to live in (or car or cell phone, etc) don't get your butt up in the air when they treat it like THEIR mansion (or personal property).
That's what you invite. That's what will happen.
Maybe Colorado should arrange a reserved single room at a motel 6 when he is in town and the rest of the time he can live in his OWN home in the suburbs.
And frankly, if he can't manage having his own home to begin with, he shouldn't be governor.
IMO, of course - and the kid's 22 so he can do beer bongs or whatever all he wants.

I think that’s the Senator’s biggest donor, a renowned Beverly Hills ob-gyn, in the red sweater.
Clintoon guests partying in the Lincoln Bedroom.
I sure wish I hadn't planned my trip for that time. I guess I'll just have to log on to FR to read about the fun! Hopefully other CO FReepers will post eyewitness accounts.
Do you think keg parties hosted by the governor’s son are an appropriate use of the Governor’s Mansion?
