Big surprise there…

Police say 20-year-old Peter Smith threw glitter at Romney as the Republican presidential hopeful greeted supporters in Denver on Tuesday. Smith faces charges of causing a disturbance, throwing a missile and unlawful acts.
Colorado Senate majority chief of staff John Cevette says Smith was terminated Thursday. He was interning as part of a course at the University of Colorado Denver.
Some activists have used “glitter bombing” to protest politicians’ opposition to same-sex marriage. Smith has said glittering Romney was worth it, but he worries he could be expelled from school.

Instapundit calls it a “Hit Job.”
Personally, I think that Romney ought to be glad it was just glitter and not something worse. Just saying.
