 Poster: A snowHead

TELLURIDE - A backlash quickly emerged after the Telluride Town Council adopted a resolution last week calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
“It’s huge, unbelievable,” said Telluride Mayor John Pryor. “Ski groups are canceling for the winter. Hundreds of people are bailing. The (town) Web site is flooded with people saying they’re canceling their vacations here.”
Pryor called it a “silly initiative.” The council, he told The Telluride Watch, is too busy to weigh in on national global politics.
If this was a silly initiative, why did he vote for it? The answer would seem to lie in the fact that the council routinely adopts resolutions, on matters both big and small, with nary a further word. Further, such a resolution would be hardly controversial in Telluride, where only 17 percent of voters in the 2004 election cast ballots for Bush. |

Not necessarily a smart move in a town where rich second homers and Texans go for vacations though

Great Town.
1st visit back in early 80's. Had some unforgettable season there including the biggest dump of alltime 
Depsite all the development & the loss of the old hippy's, I still like the place.

Well like Swirly I'd certainly be more likely to go there given their stance but I can't see how a town council could have much leverage on the US government.
It's a funny old place the USA, everything seems to get politicised and polarised, even it would seem skiing!

Swirly, me too... This could be a great year to go there - but booked elsewhere...
Some Americans seem to have brilliant senses of humour and finely tuned irony - eg The Onion, Jon Stewart etc, but the fox-news-lovers really can be a bit silly. Remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks?
