Whose baby is Buttars?
It what must have been a rare experience, satirist Nancy Borgenicht recently was given notes on Saturday's Voyeur by Speaker of the House Greg Curtis. Curtis along with Senators Curt Bramble and Chris Buttars, had been disembowled by SLAC in its annual parody of life in Utah.
As Buttars told the Trib:
It is a nasty play and they are degrading me. (Actually, that's a spot-on summary.)
After the performance, some of the audience members, actors, Borgenicht and Tribune photographer Scott Sommerdorf — who took the photo above that provided a 1,000 punchlines for SLAC's 2008 Voyeur — gathered outside the former ward house in the Gayborhood that now houses Salt Lake Acting Company.

To his credit, Speaker Curtis joined them. In what must have been a tense moment: Curtis said:
You know, there was a mistake in the play. The actors called Buttars a representative, but he is a Senator.

I just want to make
it clear he is in the OTHER BODY — the Senate.
Unfortunately, neither Senate President John Valentine nor Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka were present to claim Buttars.

Curtis (Would you have wanted to sit next to him through Voyeur? Awkward.) was joined in the audience by Reps. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, and Kevin Garn, R-Layton, and lobbyists Doug Foxley and Alan Dayton. I want to be there when they hit up Buttars on behalf of a client at the next legislative session.

That look of utter loathing on Buttar's face says it all; he's a bigot, pure and simple, and filled with hate and fear of the "other."

I did sit next to Curtis during Voyeur. We had some good belly laughs.
