Weiner teases Chaffetz on Twitter over SOTU seating
By Jordan Fabian - 01/26/11 12:44 PM ET


Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz's insistence on not sitting next to Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner during the State of the Union earned him a razzing Wednesday.

The outspoken Weiner (N.Y.) took to Twitter saying, "@jasoninthehouse Please stop calling. I do not want to be your date for Michelle Bachman's {sic} next speech."

Chaffetz (Utah) mentioned multiple times, on Twitter and on cable TV, about wanting to stay away from the Queens congressman during Obama's speech.

"I was so scared to death I was going to have to sit next to Rep. Weiner and I thank goodness that didn't happen," Chaffetz said on Fox News on Wednesday. "This is the morning hour. I know people are eating oatmeal right now, I didn't mean to prepare people to hurl by thinking about that scene."

The second-term lawmaker said he sat next to Iowa Rep. David Loebsack (D).

1. Chaffetz is an absolute nut job.

Our newly elected (appointed) Sen Mike Lee is another. No wonder the WORLD thinks Utah is nuts. We Dems have no representation in this state. The Repubs have gerrymandered the voting lines to their advantage, with no hope of ever getting a decent Dem representation.

Jim Matheson, D-UT, is so constrained by the gerrymandering perpetrated by the Utah Legislature he has no choice but to vote the Republican party line in most instances to keep his seat. I am sure his dad, Gov. Scott Matheson, is flipping in his grave.

2. Unfortunately, he's the next Senator in Utah

He's gonna run, and no way in hell neo-con police state fascist Orin Hatch will win his primary. He's hated by Tea Baggers.
