Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s selfie with the is a sports photo, yes, but it’s also a great political statement.
Hancock, , has always made clear he loves being Denver mayor. The photo backs him up.
It was shot Tuesday by The Denver Post’s Helen Richardson and I laughed out loud when I saw it late tonight on the paper’s website. It was paired with a column by the Post’s Benjamin Hochman about the team’s welcome home at DU and Coach Bill Tierney.
“It was just so fun over there at DU,” . “Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia succinctly summed it up, shouting into the microphone: ‘This is a big deal!’ Mayor Michael Hancock joked that ‘we just hired coach Tierney for the Colorado Rockies.'”
