I'm not particularly politically correct. But why is it that anytime a woman is recognized for anything in this state the first thing said by the old(ish) white male officialdom is about their looks.I saw it time and again at the Legislature and again this morning at the Utah County Commission meeting. The royalty from Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days was there to tout Utah's longest-running festival. The first thing out of Commissioner Gary Anderson's mouth was "You shore are purdy." (Say it with an aw-shucks accent.) The royalty laughed politely and after their presentation Commissioner Steve White leaned to Anderson and said "Can you imagine getting up and saying things like that when you were 17?" He then paused before finishing with "I didn't think so." Instead of taking the opportunity to redeem himself, Anderson said "They didn't make girls like that when I was 17, either." Anderson seems like a good guy to me, but maybe thinking before going for a quick laugh would have worked better this time. Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 14 of 67 } { Next Page } |
