Hey, y'all, let's "go hot-tubbing!"

Have you seen this bizarro story out of Utah?

I've covered lots of Arkansas legislative sessions and watched a bunch of crazy parade by in my days as a reporter, but this story (in the Mormon Church-owned Deseret News), takes the crazy cake.

It seems Utah House Majority Leader Kevin Garn took the occasion of the closing of a session to announce to his colleagues and the world that he "went hot-tubbing"(?) with a nekked 15-year-old girl when he was a 28-year-old record company owner (riiigghhttt...)

Now the girl claims he lied about not having any contact with her in the hot tub, and the paper reports Garn may have broken election laws by not reporting $150,000 in hush money paid to the woman.

Delicious.

Here's video of Garn's strange, tearful confession and the surprising reaction of his colleagues (mostly long, lingering bear hugs with a few encouraging words whispered in Garn's ear).
