Not much of a “jab”, Jon. You can do better.

Some bad blood there. You don’t normally see high profile Mormons publicly trash talk other Mormons.

Calling Chaffetz a self promoter and a power grabber is really just stating what is plain to see by anyone paying attention.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they’re up
Kick 'em when they’re down
Kick 'em when they’re up
Kick 'em when they’re down
Kick 'em when they’re up
Kick 'em when they’re down
Kick 'em when they’re up
Kick 'em all around

They do seem to be power-hungry madmen, even Fiorina…

Still, at least Jon’s chief-of-staff wasn’t Santorum.

When will Huntsman summon the courage to leave the GOP? That is the test of any current Republican’s character.

You left out “tool”!
He’s getting there. Huntsman is a good friend and supporter of Mike Lee, the Utah Senator who is essentially Ted “Rafael” Cruz without the publicity.

I don’t disagree that Chaffetz seems to be a self-promoter and perhaps overly ambitious, but the fact that he endorsed Romney over the guy he had once worked for is hardly the stuff of betrayal. After all, Romney was the odds-on favorite, Huntsman had virtually no chance and most politicians would have made the same choice. I like Huntsman but if his criticism of Chaffetz is just based on that fact, he needs to get a life.

As a Utah Mormon??

Shocking newsflash Jon. Still enjoyed it, though doubt much damage done.
… as a Utah Mormon who’s not going to be running for anything or winning any GOP nominations for the rest of his life. Anyway, there are some very prominent Mormon Democrats (Udalls, Harry Reid), even in Utah (the Mathesons). Even some top Mormon leaders recently left the GOP. http://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/1877438-155/top-mormon-leaders-mostly-republican-two

True, but it’s still pretty telling when someone like Jon “No Labels” Huntsman, a guy who prides himself on being civil, is willing to publicly call out Chaffetz as being a self-promoting, power grabber. Sometimes it’s not what was said, but who said it.

I had always wondered if it could be really true that dislikeable Romney with his repellent wife and her dancing horse lost merely because he was a clueless dork, tying his dog to the roof of his car, and “outplacing” all his workforce time and again to export their jobs, like a foreign industrial spy.
But no, it turns out. The above was not so bad in itself – he got stuck with two-timing Chaffetz on his staff, so he really lost becuase of the Chaffetz infidelity. Now I see!
You can’t trust Jason Chaffetz. Jon Huntsman who usually keeps a low profile is speaking up. This is a strong signal that Jason Chaffetz is not trustworthy and may be a sleazy low life. He will do anything in his greed for power and money. Jason Chaffetz was caught and called egregiously lying in Congressional hearings.
