Rocky – a Bigot?

Mayor Anderson says that Jenny Wilson should stay home and leave politics to the menfolk. The amazing thing is that progressives are shocked that Rocky could have such a bigoted opinion. What??? That’s his whole shtick. People who don’t do things the way he would do them have unacceptable opinions and need to drop out of the conversation.

On the issue of mothers and politics – you go, Jenny W. and any other man or woman who figures he/she has something to offer! We need to encourage more people to serve, not less. Politics is tough and very time consuming. But, I have no idea how Jenny Wilson’s marriage arrangement works; I have no idea how many hours of sleep she needs a night; I have no idea what other commitments she is juggling. But, I’m plenty willing to assume that she knows her situation better than I do, has thought enough about it, and has rightly concluded that she can pull it off.

In any event, Rocky would be a poor judge of how much time the position of mayor really takes. Most of the stuff he spends his time on has absolutely nothing to do with being mayor of Salt Lake City.
