DENVER - The Colorado House of Representatives held its annual Hummers review this afternoon, with House Republicans razzing House Democrats on some of their favorite issues.

GOP goofs on Dems

Republicans played Democrats, parodying some of the Dem’s more interesting affectations.  Rep. Jim Kerr, R-Littleton, at 6’ playing Rep. Dennis Apuan, D-Colorado Springs, 5’2” was perhaps unfair, but Rep. Marsha Looper, R-Colorado Springs, playing Rep. Kathleen Curry, D-Gunnison, was on the money.

Looper adopts Curry hair do

Looper gelled her hair into Curry’s distinctive blond, pointy, rancher style and wagged her legs to the sounds of “All That Jazz,” catching what the GOP sees as Curry’s girlish style.

Summers razzle dazzles as Governor Ritter

Representative Ken Summers, R-Lakewood, played Governor Bill Ritter in top hat and cane, dancing down a red-carpeted aisle with Representative David Balmer, R-Centennial, playing Representative Joe Rice, D-Centennial, bowing and scraping to the Governor, at one point kissing the Governor’s behind.  Summers sang Chicago’s “Razzledazzle” capably, by himself, implying that the Governor is more style than substance.

May shows off big butt

Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker, played Speaker Terrance Carroll as Mama Carroll, a take-off on Chicago’s “Reciprocity.”  May wiggled his sizable rear end, made jokes about the size of Carroll’s gavel, and called the House to a standing ovation.

Representative Don Marostica, R-Loveland, who worked long and hard with Representative Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, on the state’s budget, argued that the budget should be redone to be more “gay.” 

Breast feeding a House norm

And Representative Carole Murray, R-Douglas, sang with little babies hanging all over her body about the importance of breast feeding, with Representative Karen Middleton, D-Aurora, enjoying the joke.  But it’s unclear whether Representative Buffie McFadyen, D-Pueblo, thought it was funny when her baby was offered up as the required “first born” to receive stimulus dollars from the Obama administration.

With the Hummers wrapped up, the House conducted some final business and adjourned.
