Bob Schaffer fails Colorado Geography in first ad

Wonder if the Gazette will cover Bob Schaffer's mountainous misstep in his first ad:

Denver -- Bob Schaffer launched a new television ad in Colorado where he claims to have "Colorado Common Sense" while falsely claiming that Denali (Mt. McKinley) is Pike's Peak.

"That Schaffer would claim "Colorado common sense" when he doesn't know the difference between Pike's Peak and Denali in Alaska shows he's a fool," stated Michael Huttner, Executive Director of ProgressNowAction, the state's largest online progressive advocacy organization. "We call on Schaffer to immediately pull his ad and stop misleading the public over his lack of knowledge of Colorado."

Look at me shooting my mouth off, the Gazette actually covered it:

Colorado may be Bob Schaffer's life, but a refresher course on the state's landmarks couldn't hurt.

Pikes Peak, for instance.

The Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate on Wednesday unveiled his first television ad, with the theme "Colorado is my life."

"I proposed to my wife, Maureen, on top of Pikes Peak," Schaffer says in the ad, gesturing behind him as the couple's picture appears atop a snow-covered mountain in the background.

The mountain pictured in the ad isn't Pikes Peak; it's Mount McKinley in Alaska.
