Sal Pace…played hookey

Sal Pace… There he goes again…

Two years ago, Sal made a big stink about a Colorado Republican lawmaker traveling to D.C. and missing work back at home.

Well, guess what? Sal played hookey himself yesterday, ducking out on his job in the state House to attend the State of the Union address and mix-and-mingle with the national Democrats he hopes to work for. He no doubt met with Nancy Pelosi – after all, she endorsed him last week.

But running for Congress is a lot harder than Sal thought. “Unfortunately, running for office takes a lot of travel and time,” he told the Denver Post.

Oh, Sal… You never cease to surprise.

“Sal hasn’t even been elected, but we already know who pulls his strings: Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato
