I *heart* Jason
Congressman Jason Chaffetz is going to go way, way far in politics.Why am I being so nice? Jason (He let's me call him that now) approached me in the Capitol cafeteria with a grin, shook my hand and charmed my rear end off.
You may recall that I write a lot of trash about Chaffetz and interment camps and his being a "cry baby" and a publicity pig — which is exactly why he chatted me up today.
On leg wrestling and other publicity stunts:
Aw, you've got to have some fun. Some people had a problem with it [being undignified]. But had I not done those things, everyone would be calling me a freshman wall flower. . . .You're campaigning all the time out there.On Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, who did a facial on Chaffetz, beat him at leg wrestling and generally tried to make a boob out of him:
He's a great guy. I laughed the whole time (during the three-hour filming).On jerk bloggers back home in Utah:
I'll keep feeding you stuff—by opening my mouth.Ha. Ha. What a charmer. Wait a minute—where's my wallet?

Jason is good with people, and he is smart. Out of hundreds of people in Congress, he is one of two regularly on CNN, and is interviewed by ABC news, etc.
He is working hard. He even has a town meeting later this week in Provo.
Good job Jason!
Jason will do the safe thing for Utah County - he will vote "no" on everything and be against everything and solve exactly zero problems a la Ron Paul
