While Chris Buttars held off the gays this week, Rep. Curt Oda took on a high school girl and kicked butt!

KSL-TV reported Utah Valley Youth Council member Alyssa Wood who is trying to get hard lemonade and other "alco-pops," banned from convenience stores, wrote Oda, "I really think they should be in state liquor stores."

Oda's first response was, "Sorry, but you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Someone has fed you what to say."

Wood fired back, "I have seen many of my peers drink these beverages and it is becoming an issue in our society."

That sounded like Democrazy talk to Oda. It was time for the Clearfield Republican to rumble:

"You obviously expect the government to protect your friends from themselves. They know exactly what they are drinking and so do you. …Your friends choose not to take responsibility and you are defending them? …The government is not your keeper."

"He doesn't have to talk down to me just because I'm 16 years old," Wood says.

Actually Alyssa, that's how Oda talks to everyone who isn't a lobbyist, so you got an important lesson on how Utah government works. Next time butter Curt up, buy an insurance policy from him or ask to see his ankle gun.
