CO Gov. Denying Bloomberg

He's such political poison (except when people want his money) that CO governor Hickenlooper tried denying he'ld even spoken to Bloomie during the gun ban fiasco.

During a meeting Friday in Aspen with a number of sheriffs, a majority of which strongly oppose the new gun laws, Weld County Sheriff John Cooke asked Hickenlooper why he didn’t listen to the state’s top law enforcement officers as much as he did to Bloomberg.
“Well, lets, let’s stick to the facts,” Hickenlooper responded in a video clip of the exchange. “I never talked to Mayor Bloomberg. I…Again, that’s been out in the press and all this stuff.  Just for the record.  You know, I met Mayor Bloomberg when I was a Mayor, and I know him, uh, I think he’s a pretty good Mayor.”

But, just like most gun control advocates when faced w/ the reality that '90%' DON'T support their crappy laws, he lied and obfuscated:

On Monday afternoon, Hickenlooper’s office acknowledged that the governor spoke carelessly....
“When the governor told an audience of sheriffs that he had not talked to Bloomberg, the governor was attempting to convey he never had a conversation with Bloomberg that influenced the decision he made. In no way did the governor intend to mislead the sheriffs or anyone else.”

Yeah. OK. So he STILL didn't listen to his sheriff's and is just trying to distance himself from whatever Bloomie gave him. 

Liar.
