Or he did until yesterday. Maybe glitterbombing really is “the most fabulous form of protest” after all, because this is pretty damn fabulous:
On Tuesday night, a student at University of Colorado Denver was arrested by Secret Service for trying to throw glitter at Mitt Romney. Now sources are telling Colorado Peak Politics that the “glitter bomber” worked for the Colorado state Senate Democrats. This session.
The student in question, Peter Smith, faces up to 6 months in prison for “creating a disturbance, throwing a missile and an unlawful act on school property,” according to Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson.
Our sources are saying he was fired by the Senate Democrats either yesterday or today.
Oops.
Smith, the Democrat, told the Denver Post: “I decided to do it last-minute — spur of the moment.” Sure, you know how it is. You’re at some public event and you see somebody you don’t like, and it just so happens you’ve brought a bunch of glitter with you… Hey, why not?
The Secret Service sure does take all the fun out of it, don’t they? Well. Not for you and me.
