Licking wounds at Lamb's
The following zingers come courtesy of Salt Lake County Councilman Randy Horiuchi's annual lunch-turned-roast, held recently at Lamb's restaurant:

-- Sandy Mayor Tom Dolan roasted Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon as a student of the Mike Leavitt-Jon Huntsman Jr. school of government: Do nothing and get rewarded.

Corroon can go into a bathroom, urinate, and The Salt Lake Tribune headline would read, "Corroon goes up 10 points," Dolan said. The Sandy mayor could achieve world peace and the headline would be, "Dolan goes down 10 points."

-- Lobbyist Alan Dayton, roasting House Speaker Greg Curtis, joked that despite the speaker's 20-vote win, the Sandy Republican has a mandate. Dayton said he looked up (Jay) Seegmiller, Curtis' opponent, and found a Dutch origin for the name. The direct translation: Curtis should be damn glad I'm not Pat Jones.

-- Democratic Sen. Ed Mayne roasting conservative GOP bulldog Curt Bramble: Bramble doesn't know humility, Mayne said. That liberal stuff is for people like, you know, Ghandi, Jimmy Carter and Jesus.

-- With Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson leaving, Joe Hatch is the new, left-wing, radical whipping boy, according to a prescient observer. Hatch also was teased for his disheveled attire, including his two-haircuts-a-year habit. Barbers are happy, the roaster continued, since their scissors get a free grease job.
