Loose Lips
House Democrats had no problem throwing a few jabs at some freshmen Republicans during their last caucus meeting of the session.

Lamenting the absence of The Trib's famed "LaVar" awards (my bad, I kind of spaced the goofy awards this year), they came up with their own.

Salt Lake City Rep. Jackie Biskupski labeled Provo Rep. Chris Herrod the "superfreak."

Holladay Rep. Carol Spackman Moss considered Sandy Rep. Sylvia Anderson the Legislature's biggest "bloviator," an award that should probably be retired in honor of former Rep. LaVar Christensen, whom Anderson replaced.

And they even suggested renaming the entire awards for Herriman's new representative Carl Wimmer.

Not surprisingly, none of the light-hearted jabs were aimed at Republicans with real power.
