pqr Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Of course why he would even think it appropriate to call his Lt Governor a sex symbol especially when speaking to elementary school children is another matter entirely. http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/02/colo-gov-calls-lt-gov-sex-star-at-elementary-school-video/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ. Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Um wow. I find it funny that he corrected himself by changing sex star to sex symbol. What he should have corrected was the word sex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Fairy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Idiot. :rolleyes: But I've accidently said something completely different than what I meant to say. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What the heck was he thinking? So many ways to answer this question :lol:, but I'll go ahead and give you the honest answer: I guess he normally calls him a rock star.http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/colorados-rising-sex-star-promote-statewide-literacy/story?id=15833176#.T1LC0PHCnEg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_20084100?source=commented- He added, "I didn't mean 'sex symbol,' I meant 'rock star,' but I said 'sex star.' It was a poorly designed effort to pay compliments to Joe." Read more: Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper's foot lands in mouth after introducing Lt. Gov. Garcia as "sex star" - The Denver Post I say the wrong thing all the time so I guess I can't fault him too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he make regular remarks that are questionable I' d chuckle and give him a pass on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Unless he make regular remarks that are questionable I' d chuckle and give him a pass on this. I know nothing about him, but I would give him a pass, too, unless he says inappropriate things all the time. He was probably mortified when he realized what he'd said.

ThisIsTheDay Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well, I remember when Hickenlooper was just a bar owner in downtown Denver. And later the mayor. But the governor????? I'm a little surprised. :001_huh: I am not a Hickenlooper fan, but based on what I'm reading about him, it appears to be a serious misstatement rather than poor judgment. According to Wikipedia (okay, I'm pressed for time), he and his wife attend Quaker meetings and try to live by Quaker values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Um wow. I find it funny that he corrected himself by changing sex star to sex symbol. What he should have corrected was the word sex! :iagree: My dc laugh at me because I'm famous for getting my words mixed up, especially when I'm in a hurry, but saying the word "sex" when speaking to a group of children...:001_huh:...yeah, that hasn't happened. Reminds me of when I took my 7 y.o. to the dentist and the receptionist told him his new haircut was "sexy." What? Why? Whatever happened to "nice haircut" ? Some adjectives just don't need to be introduced, whether it's describing a haircut, star or symbol :tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
