She was the one who nicknamed President Ronald Reagan the “Teflon President” because criticism never seemed to damage his reputation.But Schroeder’s most notorious quote came in response to someone asking how she could possibly be a congresswoman and a parent to two small children: “I have a brain and a uterus and I use both.”“She was very proud of that line,” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, who won Schroeder’s seat after she retired from Congress in 1997, said Tuesday morning when remembering her mentor.Schroeder, who represented Colorado’s First Congressional District from 1973 to 1997 and was the first woman elected to Cong...

It just does not look good.”Young Walter, son of Ellis, the former Nuggets first-round pick and Front Range fan favorite, is 23 now. The older he gets, the younger Ellis noted, the more he starts looking like the old man. Acting like him, too.“My dad used to do this thing that irritated me when I was younger, he’d wag a finger or wave his hand along to a song,” Walter recalled. “Or he would tap his fingers to the beat. And lo and behold, I’m 23 and I kid you not, now if I hear a song that I like, I’m making all kinds of body motions. I’m like, ‘...
