Worlds Collide: Senator Goes to Sundance
The normally staid and straight-laced Senate Majority Leader Peter Knudson caused a few gasps among his fellow Republican leaders when he announced that he and his wife enjoyed a Sundance showing of "Kinky Boots."

Yep, you heard it right.

He enjoyed a movie about a failing British shoe company that decides to stop making men's dress shoes and start making boots for drag queens.

Knudson, an orthodontist from Brigham City, assuaged his colleagues' fears by saying the movie is not "risque," but rather an enjoyable comedy.

We'll see, this reporter plans to check out "Kinky Boots" this
weekend.
