Earl Butz RIP
Earl Butz, former agriculture Secretary in the Nixon and Ford administration's has died at the age of 98.
I never like to "its about time" for anyone, and I won't for Butz. But at 98, I'd say "good enough Earl, time for permanent bedtime". But that's me.
He made his name not as a popular cabinet member under two presidents, but in a crude, but funny joke that he told Pat Boone and Jimmy Dean while touring the mid-west. Most newspapers would not repeat the joke word for word because of its crudity, but we here at "Libertarianism And Things" feel a need, deep down inside, a hot soulful need to repeat Butz story that made him the butt of many a joke, particuarly on Johnny Carson's show, and in pay toilets and men's sauna's around the world.
Butz said: "There are three things that the colored people like more than anything, and that is tight pussy, loose shoes, and a warm place to shit".
Duh! Like who doesn't? But after telling that crude joke to Pat and Jimmy (!), word leaked out (oh those damn leaks) , and he was fired days later by Gerald Ford. The fact that he lived to 98 is testament to....good luck. I'm sure Earl spent many sleepless nights, tossing and turning, rolling the whole thing around in his head..."why oh why did I do such a stupid thing"? It was because he was stupid.
He was in relatively good health until about two weeks ago when he was trapped inside a pay toilet in Chinatown wearing a pair of wingtip shoes. He had just come from the proctologist. He last had sex in 1977.
Oh the irony.
