Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's apology for sending inappropriate texts to Denver police officer Leslie Branch-Wise in 2011 and 2012, when she was on his security detail, has sparked renewed interest in reports from that same period of him having been a client of the Denver Players/Denver Sugar prostitution ring. How did Hancock skate out of trouble back then? A recording of a conversation between Scottie Ewing, the enterprise's central figure, and the Denver Post's Chuck Plunkett, now the paper's editorial page editor, demonstrates how Denver's power elite managed to prevent Hancock, the mayor-elect at the time, from being brought down by the scandal.

The mayor of Denver is compromised and needs to go. Gov Chickenpooper is awfully quiet, he was 100% in favor of getting rid of state representative Lebsock. Wonder why?

“...Gov Chickenpooper is awfully quiet...”
He has to be. He has a practiced capability of saying absolutely nothing in many words. He is a lifeless Salvador Dali clock (you know, the ones that hang over fences, etc. as if they were boneless chickens).
A more vapid, media driven, and brainless example of your typical liberal politician existeth not.
He is our prime example of progressive infection of Colorado and the cancer of liberalism that has now caused Denver to actively compete with San Francisco for poop capital of the country.
