Rep. Joel Judd and Matt Arnold of Clear the Bench Colorado – The “Arrogant SOB” Exchange
by T.L. James | 1:02 am, February 3, 2010 | 3 Comments
For those of you who heard us discuss this on Backbone Radio on Sunday, here’s the audio of Clear the Bench Colorado’s Matt Arnold being rudely interrupted by Rep. Joel Judd. Eventually Judd abruptly terminates the hearing, which prompts the frustrated Arnold to aptly describe Mr. Judd as an “arrogant SOB”.

Matt Arnold’s sentiment is identical to mine towards the same targets opposed, and we have a target-rich environment.

The use of the term “SOB” was perhaps a bit inappropriate –
Although the use of the term “arrogant” was, if anything, an understatement (by their conduct and demeanor, Rep. Judd and others clearly do not believe that either element of the term “Civil Servant” should apply to them), the use of the term “SOB” (yes, it was the acronym) was clearly inappropriate.
Clear The Bench Colorado disavows any perceived aspersion on Rep. Judd’s parentage – such was not intended; it’s quite likely that his mother is a sweet little old lady who would be ashamed at his lack of manners and common courtesy.
Clear The Bench Colorado further apologizes to all dogs and dog-lovers throughout the state – particularly the female dogs – for inappropriately associating them with Finance Chairman Rep. Judd. Clear The Bench Colorado recognizes the foremost qualities of canines as being both loyal & lovable – attributes clearly NOT shared by the House Finance Committee chair.
In all seriousness – it is a sad statement that the media coverage of this ‘linguistic flap’ has focused NOT on the frequently disrespectful, often abusive treatment of citizens (myself least among them) who took time from their jobs, family, and friends to come down to the state Capitol to testify against these dozen distinct assaults on their livelihood, but played up the “if it bleeds, it leads” aspect of the statement by one citizen who dared speak out against the arrogance on display.
