Hee.

This is kind of funny.

"Arapahoe County will release today hundreds of lewd e-mails between County Clerk Tracy Baker and an employee who is his girlfriend.

Many of the e-mails obtained by the Rocky Mountain News are so sexually explicit that they cannot be printed in a newspaper in their entirety."

Yay!  Tax-payer supported porn!  This scandal broke in October, but thanks to a lack of credible challengers, Baker was re-elected to his post (Don't blame me, I voted for the Libertarian).  At the time he was asked to resign, but he said no, saying he had done nothing wrong.  However, it looks like he's changed his mind:

"Arapahoe County was notified late Thursday that the Colorado Court of Appeals has issued a stay pending the resolution of an appeal filed by Tracy K. Baker and Leesa Sale regarding the decision by District Court Judge Thomas C. Levi concerning the open records requests made by several media organizations."

Mike Littwin has an entertaining column on the subject:

"If you're not offended, though, lean back, maybe break open a bottle of wine, light a few candles, fire up some Barry White - baby, baby, baby. And then wonder how in the world if you're Tracy Baker you thought nobody would notice that you were doing the dirty deed (early-'60s talk) with your girl Friday and apparently the rest of the days of the week, too. Or, as Baker would say to Sale in what is apparently 21st century e-mail talk: "It's my turn to be on my knees thank you!""
