Another Utah Senator for Family Values

I don't know. You decide. Is this guy just a racist asshole or an ignorant fuck? (My guess: probably a little of both.) Either way, Utah State Senator Chris Buttars is yet another shining example of the kind of people who routinely get elected here:

"Sen. Buttars says ruling against school segregation was wrong."

For the record, Buttars also disputes the theory of evolution, saying, in this editorial, that it has "more holes than a crocheted bathtub." Way to work the creative metaphor, Senator!

I'll say this for Utah voters: they're loyal to their own kind.

Speaking of racist assholes, check out this fascinating look at the prime-time hate-speech forum that is Lou Dobbs Tonight. Looks like open racism in America is as mainstream as apple pie. Again.
