(Capitol Hill) in Denver. I don't know if he was a 100% a'hole to the employees, but I was always amused to see them make a beeline to avoid having to deal with him. Frankly, so did I, but dressed in my very unfashionable "walk the dog" garb, I probably did not have to worry.

Yeah, he was an ass and a really bad governor. Remember his "the whole state is on fire" kneejerk comment?-- his idea of how to deal with wildfires in an effective, determined, yet calm manner? Good Gawd. I can't tell you how many people I heard from who knew I lived there asking if they should cancel trips, conferences, etc., and "why was I staying?" Typical Republican of his time, though.
