Skinny Dipping Can Cost You

This guy is just plain stupid…

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s House majority leader said late Thursday he paid a woman $150,000 to keep silent about going nude “hot-tubbing” with her when she was a minor a quarter century ago.

In a shocking statement on the House floor, Kevin Garn, 55, of Layton said he paid her to keep quiet about the incident during his unsuccessful U.S. congressional bid in 2002, but did not have sexual contact with her.

Garn said the woman, who he didn’t identify on the floor, has been calling news outlets and that he wanted to be open about the incident that occurred when he was 28 years old, before any stories appeared. - FOX

I don’t know about you, but I can think of some pretty stupid things I did when I was in my twenties, but I don’t think I messed around with any 15 year olds. However, even if he did not actually mess around, I’m not sure what the attraction would be to a 15 year old girl at 28. So, lets chalk this down as a fairly stupid thing to be doing at that age and I don’t think I would want him around my teenage daughter.

That being said though, most of us are pretty forgiving of others on such young stupid things when they are forthcoming about them because each of us can look back at that age for us and recall more than one stupid thing we would not be very proud of ourselves. However, to pay the girl $150,000 to stay quiet about it 20-something years later is just dirt dumb stupid compounding the original stupid!

They should throw the guy out of office. Not because he was stupid at 28, but because he still is stupid. We have enough stupid in government as it is, so Utah needs to throw out what it can.
