Buttars' funny Valentine
The Tribune's Paul Rolly blogs today on the ongoing tango of Chris Buttars with Utah Senate leaders.
Rolly has already written about Buttars' scathing letter (on Senate letterhead) to a state judge on behalf of a campaign contributer and erstwhile land developer. Senate President John Valentine took away Buttars control of the Judiciary Confirmation Committee. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
But Buttars, he of the gaping pie hole, has been telling people that Valentine approved the letter.
With the Bar in an uproar about Buttars' judge squeezing, Valentine has been forced to explain through his mouthpiece that, yes, he did tell Buttars he could write to the judge. But Valentine claims he never knew the letter would contain ugly stuff.
Nice try, Val. But Chris Buttars asking you if it would be all right to mail a letter to a judge, is like Mark Hofmann asking you for permission to send a package to a friend. In either case, anyone with an IQ the size of their hat band knows there's something explosive inside.

I can't help but wonder where Buttars' staffers are!! Don't they have the intelligence to help this man learn how to survive in politics and how to keep his "gaping pie hole" shut?? He is in need of help, whether the help comes from a P.R. specialist or a psychiatrist. . .it should come soon. If the people of West Jordan inflict this man on us again next year, it will make me question the IQ level of West Jordan.
FYI - Buttars does not have a "staff," he's a part-time legislator, unlike his colleagues in california and other large states. therefore, he has no paid advisors or staff to help him wade thru this PR nightmare he's gotten himself into.
Sorry to correct you, but he DOES have a staff. It's the Eagle Forum. They tell him his agenda, write his legislation, tell him how to vote, and... I'll bet... write his correspondence for him.
