  • THAT UTAH IDIOT LOSES ALL POWER: Christ, you have to be a pretty avant-garde wingnut to say something so terrible about the gays that the Utah Republican party delivers a punishment! Earlier this week, notable mouth-breathing Utah state Senator Chris Buttars said that The Gays, “mean little buggers” if ever there were, are the same thing as the Muslim Terrorists. After a closed-door hearing, the GOP moved to strip him of his TWO chairmanships, one of which was the Judiciary Committee. We’re just about sick of this Utah GOP and its politically correct nanny state welfare crap. [Salt Lake Tribune]

The Utah GOP used the “I can believe it’s Not Buttars” solution.

Who’s the boy that can laugh at a storm cloud?
Who can turn a frown into a smile for free?
Who’s that kid with a heart full of magic?
Everyone knows it’s Butters!
That’s Me

Who’s the boy with the eyes full of wonder?
Who thinks being yourself is the best thing to be?
Who’s that rascal with the tweezers in his pocket?
Everyone knows it’s Butters!
Wul, wul, that’s me!

Jumpin’ in puddels, skippin down the hallyway
pettin at the pettin’ zoo. He loves John Elway.

Who’s that tike with the cutest little dimples?
Battin his eye at everyone he sees?
If you look inside youself you may be suprised when you find
a little boy named Butters!
And That’s Me!

You’ll know they’re serious when the LDSers remove his listing in The Mountain of Names.

Yay. That’s that item on the Homosexual Agenda achieved. I move we now take a recess in order to have some buttsecks and then meet back here in half an hour to take the next item. Which, as it happens, is more buttsecks.

Can we just fast-forward to the part where we find out he’s been cruising the toilets at the Salt Lake airport this whole time?

Texan Bulldoggette February 20, 2009 at 4:42 pm

“…Senate Minority Leader Pat Jones, D-Holladay.” They have Democrats in UT? I thought that was an urban legend. Does Mitt or any of the Osmonds or descendants of Brigham Young know about this??

Ha — even white bread lands with its Buttars side down.

That wasn’t Buttars who said those mean things about teh gays. It was CHAOS!

Don’t even bother, dudes. We all think you’re pretty darn weird already. Nothing’s going to change that, whatever you do.

[re=248469]snideinplainsight[/re]: I find Peggy’s column this week strikingly un-Pegtaztic. I think, gulp, she may be trying to write in a fashion so as not to get . . . you know . . . mocked or something. That would be loss to us all, especially the children.

In re Utah: I’m continually (pleasantly) amazed at how quickly things are changing in regards to gay issues. Baby steps, for certain, and hard-fought, for certain, but still quick nonetheless. [That wasn't funny at all.]

FlamingSooner February 20, 2009 at 4:59 pm

I doubt if loss of committee chairmanships was the only “stripping” going on at the closed-door “hearing”….

Magic underwear pile!

He doesn’t feel he has anything to apologize for. And he doesn’t. He’s an old man with old, stupid beliefs. All we really need him to do is burn out his few remaining years of life, die of old age, and let us go about the difficult, arduous task of forgetting he ever existed except as a funny footnote about how he was a bigoted prick.

History’s full of ‘em, though, so he’d better try to separate himself from the competition once he gets to Valhalla or whatever.

Bruno February 20, 2009 at 5:04 pm

This is a miracle. What web ad-serving engine put Muslima.com, “the international Muslim matrimonial site…browse photos now!” ad to the left of the page?

Fivetree February 20, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Whew, am I ever breathing a sigh of relief. Thank you Utah Jesus Goblins for rebuking that man and protecting the dark dirty secret that Gays are just another breed of Muslins. Why do you think we want those womenfolk covered from head to toe all the time? So we don’t have to look at ‘em, that’s why. They can be so distracting, when you’re sucking cock and reading your Koran.

DustBowlBlues February 20, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Okay, it’s official. Oklahoma’s Repugs are stupider than in Utah. Great, just great. Now I’ve got no one to look down on.

[re=248463]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Believe it or not, TWO counties in Utah were blue in the 2008 Pres. elections. Salt Lake County, and then a county down in southeastern Utah, presumably the one where Moab is located.

[re=248495]Bruno[/re]: I hear you. I have been gay as a lampshade since Harvey Milk was peddling Kodachrome on Castro Street, and no one has ever shared the agenda with me. I thought it was because I wasn’t fabulous enough, but now I’ve come to realize, this manifesto exists only in the twisted minds of wingnuts.

Texan Bulldoggette February 20, 2009 at 6:00 pm

[re=248536]Dave J.[/re]: Well, they got one up on OK, since NO single county went blue in 2008 in OK. Way to go, Utah. You’re only mildly less stupid & racist than OK.

Senhor Tambor February 20, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Sadly, this guy represents me in the UT Senate. This isn’t the first time this guy shot off his mouth, but my illustrious neighbors keep re-electing him. This does show that he isn’t an anomaly, he’s the ugly reflection in our collective bathroom mirror. The fact that he’s pissed off both gay people and both black people in his/our district doesn’t seem to bother him.

masterdebater February 20, 2009 at 6:52 pm

His name is Buttars, he hates gay people, he’s from Utah, he’s republican…you’re making that up! If all that were true, we would all be taking a pool to bet on how long it will be before his teenage sex scandal. So…what’s the + / – ?

In the article, the Republicans repeatedly say they stand behind him. Doing what?

Come here a minute February 20, 2009 at 8:15 pm

So long to the redundantly named Sen. Buttarse. We hardly knew ye.

assistant/atlas February 20, 2009 at 8:45 pm

One small man stepped on, one giant leap for buttsecks! Hooray!

[re=248574]Senhor Tambor[/re]: Do you think he doesn’t care because there aren’t any gay or black people there?

S.Luggo February 21, 2009 at 1:04 am

— “I want the citizens of Utah to know that the Utah Senate stands behind Senator Buttars’ right to speak,…” [said Senate President Michael Waddoups.] —
Would that be in monosyllabic or bi-syllabic grunts?

—- “He is a senator who represents the point of view of many of his constituents and many of ours. We agree with many of the things he said.” [Senate President Michael Waddoups] —

And when is Salt Lake City’s Krystal Nacht? Reserved seats frequired?
Just asking.

liquiddaddy February 21, 2009 at 1:18 pm

[re=248566]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Yes, but we have a closeted, self-loathing, gay governor with a hair cake.

[re=248536]Dave J.[/re]: Actually, Summit County (where Park City is located), also went blue:). And the Salt Lake County Council just voted to give domestic partner benefits to all county employees (a Republican even voted for it!) http://www.sltrib.com/ci_11724319?IADID=Search-www.sltrib.com-www.sltrib.com

So my backassward home state is not quite as douchey as normal. Have faith, though. The legislature is still in session for a another week or two and that is more than enough time for them to reassert their true asshole-ian nature.

Chrees, you fookin’ peeg! Love, love, love, whadda hell dat mean? You only want short time at Boy Scum Camp, and now you dont love me no mo. Now you say, you sorry for kickin gay ass, which you lubs, and you misundastood, and blah blah. You fookin’ peeg, mistah!

Mr Blifil February 23, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Buttars continues to grease the wheels of justice. Obviously somebody had pictures identifying him as the belly/ass drag queen of Wonkette fame, or they’d be erecting a monument in his honor outside the state capitol.
