The Gazette's Blank Hole

[meegbear]

Call the Gazette rude. Call the Gazette petty and disrespectful. But whatever you do, don’t call the Gazette bipartisan. That would be a real slap in the face to the no-Democrat-is-a-good-Democrat folks in charge of the op/ed pages at the conservative Colorado Springs daily newspaper.

Case in point: U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard has joined the likes of U.S. Reps. Doug Lamborn, Marilyn Musgrave and Mark Udall, and state Rep. Paul Weissmann, to try to save the official photograph of President Bill Clinton hanging, along with the rest of the presidents, in the state capitol. The National Archives, which owns the picture, wants it back after a 10-year loan.

The Gazette weighed in this weekend with its snarky opinion of the whole matter — making it perfectly clear that they would rather leave a blank hole on the wall then look at a picture of the 42nd President of the United States. This is what they had to say, in its entirety:

They can have it, as far as we’re concerned.

But they shouldn’t bother. Leaving the space blank would be a fitting tribute, we think, to a president who disgraced the office.

1. Tell ya what Gazette. I'll agree to the blank space for Clinton...

if, when it comes time to put Bush's painting up there, we replace it with a smoldering, blood-spattered hole in the wall.

How's that sound?
