Rules for "right" leaning politicians:
1. Remove left foot from mouth
2. Take a deep cleansing breath
3. Insert right foot into mouth (your own mouth, Sen. Craig! your own!)
4. Repeat
What's that you say? Gay rights in conservative Utah? Home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints headquarters? Yep. Finally, the city of salt, Salt Lake City, has become the first city in Utah to adopt gay right measures that barrs landlords and employers from discriminating based on sexuality and the church itself is supporting the measure. A small glimmer of hope and light as the church also is backing a similar statewide measure. Can I get an Amen?
The measure has even been supported by Senator Chris Buttars who has switched feet in his mouth enough times to have athlete's foot of the mouth. Last year, the NAACP called for his resignation because of his comments about a controversial bill: "This baby is black, I'll tell you, said Buttars. "This is a dark and ugly thing."
On the subject of gays, male and female, he can also be quoted as saying gays are: "the greatest threat to America going down." "I believe they will destroy the foundation of the American society",he said in February. "In my mind, it's the beginning of the end. Sodom and Gomorrah was localized. This is worldwide."
I guess he must be softening up as evidenced by his latest statement on homosexuals to the press as he was explaining why he opposes their being able to adopt: "I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don't mind gays. But I don't want 'em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid's face."
We can only assume that he does actually come up for air in between changing feet, but then an oxygen-starved brain would explain alot!

Walk Away, you could be right. Another angle that occurs to me in the way he says he had them over, and this might only be understood in the mormon culture, perhaps he had thought they were missionaries and was just being a good mormon by taking his turn in feeding them.
Fine post, zashin.

He does indeed Apache and one gets the feeling that it's not just gays he feels that way about.
Shan, wouldn't it be nice if it just caught fire and spread all over the place. Imagine treating all cititzens as....citizens! What a concept!
Thanks Jesse, we could all use a little luck. :)
psychodynamic situation in his psyche?
As for the Mormons, they are a pleasant bunch with no
blatant stupidities in their superstitions,
so we an perhaps expect "tolerance",
even pro-action from them...
I guess, Michael, it's sometimes too hard to see the obvious, especially when it doesn't serve your own agenda.
