Sen. Buttars

OK, time for this “minion of the Conservative Republican Capitalists crowd” to move on to the next topic.
Seriously, I love the readers of this blog. But when Ultra Bob said Las Vegas would be a better gamble than the stock market for retirement funds, I laughed out loud. Having lived for years in Vegas and studied historical market trends, I can tell you there is no comparison. As I always said, they didn’t build those big casinos off of winners.
Little people wouldn’t be investing in the market, Ultra Bob. Fund managers would, just as they now do with my, and most everyone else’s, 401(k) contributions.
Enough of that. Let’s turn to Utah Sen. Chris Buttars, a whipping boy these days for anyone who is moderate-to-left. He’s not my favorite lawmaker. That isn’t because of his infamous “black baby” comment. Honestly, that was blown way out of proportion. Rather, it is because of resolutions such as the one to get merchants to say “Merry Christmas.”
It’s divisive and unnecessary, and it will amount to nothing. It’s the kind of thing an activist could effectively propose. Coming from a lawmaker, though, it sounds heavy handed and intolerant.
But the video below is even worse. It is of Keith Olbermann, who makes Buttars the “Worst person in the world.”
Trouble is, Olbermann makes a huge error. He says Buttars is sponsoring a bill. He’s not. He’s talking about a non-binding resolution, which is quite a different thing.
Hmm. What does this make Olbermann? The worst reporter in the world?
