You don’t have to take my word for it, but newly elected Polly Christensen – who’s now earned the moniker “Polly Progressive” (hat tip The Coyote) – easily has had the worst start of any Longmont city councilmember. And that’s saying something considering Sean McCoy once sat on that council. Here’s a recap of what’s gone on, with links and tweets galore. But first, this awesome YouTube video:

@TimesCall Concerning behavior to be sure. But, far from intimidation. She’ll learn that most often the best response is no response at all. — Jake Marsing (@Jake_Marsing15) November 13, 2013
Is this what they’re teaching kids now? Take no responsibility for your own words/actions?
Way to go Polly! Bob Goff should have kept out of politics. I will tell everyone I know Dem or GOPer never to do business with him again!!! — seanpmccoy (@seanpmccoy) November 14, 2013
Knew it wouldn’t be long before the Clown Prince of Longmont weighed in.
“@seanpmccoy didn’t mind Bob Goff hosting town halls for his friends. NOW he turns on him b/c he won’t buckle to Polly progressive? #weak
