More Small Town Crazy Politics

It just keeps getting better.

It turns out that masturbating is not the only questionable activity in which our erstwhile Sheriff's candidate, Rick Magnuson, has been engaging.

Come to find out that he's been investigated by authorities in the Counter Terrorism Unit of Union County, New Jersey; he's been reprimanded multiple times by the Aspen Police Department; he warned his girlfriend that there was a warrant out for her arrest; and he was described in an official memo as "a possible unstable person who may be involved in terrorism living in our area."

Wow.

When confronted with the fact that he had lied to an Aspen Times reporter about being placed on probation by the Aspen Police Department, he said, "I guess I'm changing [that answer] to yes.

When duplicating his roundabout stunt in Vail, he refused a Vail police officer's request that he quit. In his defense, he called the Vail cop an example of "overbearing government."

I can't wait until someone uses that same retort against him when he makes a request in the course of his official duties.

On the same day as each of its front page articles about Magnuson's idiocy, The Aspen Daily News, to whom Magnuson won't speak because he thinks they're biased, has run a Letter to the Editor from the same poor misguided individual spouting off about Magnuson's honesty, morality and overwhelming qualifications for the job.
