Joe's magic eraser
Joe Demma, Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert's chief of staff, is an Etch A Sketch kind of guy.
If someone submits a report and makes a mistake, they should have an opportunity to correct that mistake.
Demma was talking about entries on the state's glitchy electronic campaign finance reporting system, but we all know he was thinking about Facebook notes and Blackberry emails. It was just a week ago, that Demma told the world about his boss' political aspirations.
On his Facebook page:
Joseph Michael Demma's Boss (just re-nominated for Lt. Gov) is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010!
The Blackberry version was:
Our LG will, unless he becomes GOV in the interim, file to run as a GOP representative for the US Senate seat in 2010, regardless of who might also be in that race - the incumbent, included.
Oopsy doesn't cover it. And the jury is still out on whether Joe was drunk or temporarily insane. In either case, turning his lapbook upside-down and shaking it didn't help. Boss man Herbert was furious and likely had some groveling to do to for Sen. Bob Bennett.

Maybe that's why Demma's so sanguine about State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and the Case of Disappearing Financial Disclosures that included donations to John McCain's campaign. Shurtleff says the donations, which would have violated election law, were incorrectly entered.

Besides, Shurtleff has his eyes on that Senatorial slot. I remember Mark Shurtleff in law school. He was a tall, skinny guy with glasses.

He's still tall.
