Shurtleff: traveling salesman
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff is in Israel on a trade mission with Gov. Jon Huntsman. Despite Shurtleff's embarrassing ties to multi-level marketer Usana, it's hard to see what the state's top lawyer has got to do with international trade.*
Shurtleff is using the trip to appear to know something about world affairs to boost his image in an upcoming run against Sen. Bob Bennett. Bennett is vulnerable to an attack from the right, which explains Shurtleff's appearance at Salt Lake's recent tea-bagging extravaganza.
Shurtleff is using the power of blogging to inform Utahns of his worldiness and his reverence for the Holy Land:
Shurtleff likely will advance the cause of his financial backer Usana while he's in Israel:

This is my fifth trip to the Holy Land – the one place outside of the United States I most feel at home. Although I am not Jewish, Israel is nonetheless the birthplace of my Savior, who was. I can relate to my Jewish cousins, past and present, who long for the land of their inheritance. Away from Israel, the words of a Twelfth Century Spanish Jew beckon . . .[I'll spare you the rest.]*These Israel trips, of course, are really about, from Israel's side, indoctrinating American policy makers and, from the politicians' side, winning the Jewish vote.

What a Douche Bag !
Why doesn't Shurtleff come down to the reservation so he can hang out with the rest of his Jewish cousins and 'feel at home'?
Two people who shouldn't be blogging:
1) Mark Shurtleff
2) Glen Warchol
Not necessarily in that order.
Ecchhh.
Utah will elect this corpulent bag of pus as their next US Senator.
Utah will get exactly what they deserve. Again.
Blech. I am embarrassed. I hope the Israelis don't think his patronizing ways are indicative of the average Utahn. What a schlemiel!
Weird. Just a few years ago Shurtleff claimed that the only country he felt close to was Mexico. Of course that was during an interview with el Mundo Hispano conducted shortly after he hosted an illegal alien rally.
