Senator Mike Enzi Spends Two Days Apologizing For Being a Jerk
Rule of the Day: Don’t be a jerk.
Wyoming Republican Senator Mike Enzi spoke to a group of high school students this week and told them it’s okay to be LGBTQ, but don’t be “real open about it.”
“I know a guy who wears a tutu and goes to bars on Friday night and is always surprised that he gets in fights. Well, he kind of asks for it. That’s the way that he winds up with that kind of problem.
Dude, he doesn’t get into fights. He gets beat up. There’s a difference.
So, for the past two days, Enzi has called every human rights group in Wyoming to apology.
It’s easier just not to be a jerk.
While Mike is on his apology tour, he might as well include the women’s organizations, too. It’s just a matter of time before “if she hadn’t been dressed ___” slips through his st00pid lips.
1I have the same problem with this guy as I have with Sessions and Trump: the impediments of age. Just like the late Senator for Alaska thought that the internet was based on tubes, these guys are also totally out of it. They are museum quality only and I don’t really know of any real museums that would have them! Cheese and crackers!
2Mike Enzi is 73 f’ing years old. Not 14. Well old enough to know better. And to know not say such things to children.
What a Bozo.
3I knew a guy who wore a tutu at the local. Absolutely fabulous dancer. The one time somebody wanted to punch him out, the rest of the crowd (almost all straight) ran that poor fools sorry butt out of town. There are places in this world that don’t like Mike Enzi’s type hanging around. .
4Agree, Maggie, but there’s a fundamental “Christian ” museum with dioramas of Jesus riding dionosaures. Traitor trump, dense pence, enzi, bullshit (sorry Momma) sessions and trickle down mnuchin and all the other pre-humans in this administration would fit in quite well. In fact, the above mentioned are so backward I’m surprised that they walk upright.
5Poor Wyoming. It’s really a beautiful state with the vast rolling Great Plains to the east, Rocky Mountains in the west, and Yellowstone Park in the northwest corner. If they could just get the idiot people out of there. (Not at Wyomingites are idiots.) Coal, oil and gas people are ripping and tearing up the eastern half of the state. Damn.
6Tilphousia, you just reminded me of something. Isn’t Wyoming the state where Matthew Shepherd was beaten to death by some straights? This is one place that is certainly not on my bucket list.
7“… it’s okay to be LGBTQ, but don’t be “real open about it.” Yup, an old gal at the church I USE to go to said the very same thing. My reply back to her was: Excuuuuuuse me?!? Being in her 80s and she probably voted for that Idiot in the White House, her ignorance was not surprising.
8I’ll be 74 in August and I am a lifelong Democrat … perhaps that’s the difference … we simply are not so damned stupid!!
And while you’re at it, keep real quiet about being female or brown-skinned too. Or blue-eyed, or left-handed, or any of those other things that you’ve been from birth and are nobody else’s business.
“Anybody not like me is defective” is a good way to announce that you’re the defective one.
9Asking for it? ASKING FOR IT????
10I called Enzi’s office and passed on a sage bit of wisdom my Dad gave me when I was young. He told me that if a man ever propositioned me that I should let him know that I don’t swing that way. I’ve never been bothered. Dad would have been a hundred years old this summer if he hadn’t died the day they elected Reagan. Old enough to have been a better parent to this jackass than the one he had. Damn, I miss Dad.

12I called Enzi’s office and offered a sage bit of advice passed on to me by my Dad. Dad once told me that if another man ever propositioned me that I should tell him that I don’t swing that way. It’s always worked for me. Dad would have been 100 years old this summer if he hadn’t died the day Reagan was elected. Old enough to have been a better parent than the jackass who raised Enzi. Damn, I miss Dad to this day.
13And women who wear shorts or skirts or sleeveless dresses are kind of asking to be sexually assaulted, right?
Apparently only aging, fat, WingNut white men get to wear whatever they want.
Freedom! (Freedom to bejust like Enzi, apparently.)
14Ah, yes, Mike Enzi. I was sitting in the Senate gallery in September 2010 when he claimed that 60,000 IRS agents would have to be hired to enforce the ACA. I so wanted to tell “You Lie!!!” but didn’t want to be removed. It’s too bad lying on the Senate floor isn’t grounds for the hook, or at least The Gong. (Look up The Gong Show if you’re not familiar with it.)
15#12 David:, Bravo!
Me: yell, not tell.
16“It’s easier just not to be a jerk.”
Not for conservatives.
