See, this is why those mobster/Colorado GOP analogies everybody likes to make are all wrong: these guys can't 'code of silence' their way out of a wet sack. We're talking about Bill Owens' stinking progenies here, too, one and all. Thanks so much, Texas.

No really, thanks, because at least it's right out where everybody can see it. Tonight's dish? Fellow Republican.

Campaign finance trial continues today

At issue is whether the Marc Holtzman for governor campaign violated Colorado campaign finance law by improperly running an issues committee during last fall's Referendum C campaign. The committee, known as 'If C wins, you lose,' ran extensive TV ads during the campaign that featured Holtzman denouncing Ref C.

Veteran Colorado lobbyist Steve Durham brought the complaint. He said the case was important because it would establish whether candidates like Holtzman can use an issues committee to promote themselves...

So you've got the oldest trickster in town, working this "impartially" (which I think you spell "for Beauprez") to smack the Holtzman campaign. And it's a good smack, too: while we were all pre-occupied with Jon Caldara's shenanigans, this was absolutely going down.

With a twist: knowledgeable Colorado bloggers remember the recent flap over at Colorado Pols involving a Holtzman staffer named Laura Teal with access to the site? Meet Andy George, the infamous Laura Teal's trusty sidekick-cum-stoolpigeon:

This morning Andy George, a former staffer for 'If C wins, you lose,' testified that the group was effectively run by the Holtzman campaign.

Holtzman's campaign manager, Dick Leggitt, has angrily denied George's allegations...

I'm pretty sure there's something in Sun Tzu's The Art of War to the effect of, "this is a very good thing." Lump it in with the apparently corrupt GOP convention voting, and I'd say there's room for the whole sorry back-stabbing lot of them under the bus.
