Utah state Representative Calvin Bird (R-Springfield) (above) is dropping his re-election bid after his arrest for soliciting a decoy prostitute. The mea culpa? "I should have known better than to pull over and talk to the lady." Talk, right, that's it. Wait there's more "No improprieties happened, but the offers were there. It was really dumb." Paging Capt. Obvious.
According to the Deseret Morning News, "Bird, 56, was driving in the area of 1899 S. State at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 when he pulled over and attempted to solicit sex from an undercover Salt Lake City police officer posing as a prostitute, according to police and court documents."
His primary (and only) challenger Aaron Tilton had an even better oh-so-Utahn response. "You are kidding me," Tilton said Thursday night when he stopped knocking on doors to take a cell phone call with the news. "Oh, my heck. Wow."
I wonder what Bird's wife Linda and the 6 children or the 3 grandchildren think of all this.
