That headline is not an actual quote from Senator Buttars, but it might as well be.
Here’s the increasingly awkward regression of events for one Utah Senator who has obviously passed his sell-by date:
Of a bill he didn’t like, he started this latest ruckus by saying (yes, out loud, on the record),
This baby is black. . . . It’s a dark, ugly thing…
When chastised by the NAACP, with whom he failed to meet to apologize or even see the many pictures they brought of extremely cute black babies,
[He Told] The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday that he has become a target of a "hate lynch mob" because of e-mails he has received condemning his remarks.
Ouch. Lynch-mob. But it gets even worse for Buttars:
"Lynch mob is a Western term. You wouldn’t find one person in 10,000 in Utah that thinks that’s a racist term," Buttars said in a phone interview Tuesday evening. "That’s not a racial term in my opinion. How do I know what words I’m supposed to use in front of those people?"
Ouch again. Well, those people are not happy. And the Senator is fresh out of feet to put in his mouth. I guess what he’s trying to say is that Utahans are equal-opportunity lynchers.
I wonder, is it too late to give the whole state back to the savage Indians? Can anyone help me out here? I’m trying to think of one good thing that came from Utah. I can’t think of a single one.
Please Utahans, show that this idiot doesn’t represent you and recall his saggy white ass.
