Chaffetz finds a kindred spirit
Openly gay Colorado Congressman Jared Polis on learning of Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz’s background in skin care (NuSkin):
Well, I’m surprised that Jason was in skin care. That sounds more gay than anything I’ve done in my career.
You can see Democrat Polis, right, goofing with Chaffetz near the end of this video.

Isn't this the guy who ran a flower business? Calling Chaffetz gay?
First, pot meet kettle.
Second, had Chaffetz said that Polis' job sounded gay, all hell would have broken loose.
So tired of the double standard.

Um, I know he is gay.
There is irony in a guy who ran a flower business saying that someone who worked for a skincare/cosmetics company had a "gay" soudning job. Neither jobs sound overly macho. Not that one has to be. It's is just funny.

Um, THAT is ironic.

As a liberal (commie, no doubt, too), I am liking Chaffetz. Well, perhaps not his politics, but he is so much more real then most of the Utah Republicans.

Jason has a wife and family. He is loyal to his family. It is sad that with over 50 new US Reps, and Utah is lucky enough to having one of two being followed by CNN on a weekly or more often basis, that the SL Trib and others would take pot shots at him.

Jason is doing great.

Okay, that was funny. It's great to see people from opposite ends of the spectrum able to laugh and joke together! Polis seems like a decent guy. Jason has been doing a great job so far... keep it up!
