FLASHPOINT for Apr 27, 2006

Two priceless mayoral utterances Wednesday. First, at a news conference to announce a new events center, County Commission Chairman Rory Reid, accompanied by his son, told Oscar Goodman his child was in fourth grade and that Goodman "couldn't read to him." Goodman retorted: "And the amazing thing is I spelled g-i-n and he didn't know what I was talking about." Hilarious. That gin on a desert island joke is timeless, isn't it? Then, at a luncheon speech, when asked who he was supporting for governor, Goodman said he would not endorse anyone because he hadn't ruled out a run - after he did rule it out to The Denver Post last week. Consistency is the hobgoblin of smaller mayors, I suppose.
