Democratic legislator tells 17-year-old girl ‘I got a snake sitting under my desk

[Forever_frost]

This one will go down in the chronicles of inappropriate remarks from a public official.

According to the New London New Day, a 17-year-old girl was testifying before a Connecticut state legislature committee about her role with a nature center, and how she used the experience to overcome shyness in teaching young children about wildlife, when Democratic Connecticut state Rep. Ernest Hewett made a lewd comment about his own reptile.

“I am usually a very shy person, and now I am more outgoing,” the girl told the committee, according to the New Day. “I was able to teach those children about certain things like snakes that we have and the turtles that we have. … I want to do something toward that, working with children when I get older.”

“If you’re bashful, I got a snake sitting under my desk here,” Hewett said.

Listen:

The New Day also reported Connecticut Republican Party chairman Jerry Labriola Jr. called on Hewett to resign. However, House speaker Brendan Sharkey only gave him “a slap on the wrist,” according to Labriola in the story.

I'm surprised a daddy didn't whip his ass over that.

All that happened was old boy lost his leadership title. He should have been run out on rails

This legislator should google hari-kari, and then go find a quiet place. Fucking disgusting that this scum bag enjoys a position of power and influence. Hopefully he's castigated by his family, blacklisted by his closest friends.

There are perverts on both sides of the isle my friend. Washington is full of

Them. Just because you have an agenda, do not confuse that with filth. Both

Sides are complicit. I try to stay out of your myopic view of the world. With the aid of

Scotch, I am "trying" to reach your inner intelligent side.

You are aware that I merely copy and pasted and cited the whole article. I said nothing in that entire first post on my version of anything. Also, your answer to a man propositioning a 17 year old girl in a state capital house was "Someone rubbed toes with someone else but he was a Republican?" This dude said this to a girl IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING.

I am not seeing a problem here. I tell strippers that I have a snake in my pocket all of the time. The age of consent in Connecticut is 16 so this girl was clearly on the market.

You are 110% right. Copy and paste is your forte. Less I forget, forgive me.

However to waste your vast talents on only items that further your agenda is

A bit myopic, wouldn't you agree? It is boring and sort of makes you a younger

version of the crazy cat lady that lives down the street. Politically speaking that

is. Carry on soldier, I will be in the area all day.

You would prefer me furthering an agenda that isn't my own? What logic is there in that?

By all means --- continue.......

Anything with meaning is diluted, you do realize right?

I'm done, you have sucked me into your abyss for the last time.

I guess I am the idiot here Frost.

[Forever_frost]

If it was diluted, you'd not be posting on my thread telling me that I was diluting the stories or telling me that because this guy said it, it's not that bad because a Republican may have done something similar at some point.

why haven't we started drug and alcohol testing these idiots yet?
