The scene: Colfax Elementary School, Denver, CO
The witnesses: 40 school-aged children and the appropriate number of teachers, aides, and members of the press.
The event: A public appearance by the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor to promote literacy in schools.
The slip Freud would be proud of: When called upon to introduce Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia to the children, Hickenlooper said the following:
“Now I get to introduce that rising sex star — symbol. I mean, symbol — not star.”What I want to know is who told him the phrase "sex symbol" was any more appropriate than the term "sex star" was for elementary school students.
