When it comes to damage control following a stupid comment, Sen. Chris Buttars could to take some advice from Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. apologized this week to a Utah Muslim woman after an employee mocked her veil. Earlier this month a cashier at the Riverdale Wal-Mart teased the Muslim shopper: "Please don't stick me up!"

Wal-Mart management was on the situation like a Forest Service air tanker on a brush fire. Before the yuck-yuck-gone-bad could blow up into what is now known as a "Full Buttars," Rolando Rodriquez, a vice president and regional general manager, apologized with great supplication*.

"I can assure you that the associate in question was disciplined in accordance with our employment policies as a result of the situation," Rodriguez said without disclosing details. Rodriguez said employees at the Riverdale store would undergo "sensitivity training," specifically in the Islamic faith and Muslim culture.

"We applaud Wal-Mart for taking appropriate action to resolve this incident," said Yasser Moten, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Has anyone offered Buttars a butt-load of sensitivity training?
