Rep. Ernest Hewett, who was removed as deputy speaker this week after making what some saw as an inappropriate comment to a teenager, defended himself Friday.
“I have been disciplined and I haven’t even had due process,” said Hewett, a New London Democrat.
During a Feb. 20 Appropriations Committee hearing, a female 17-year-old ambassador for the Connecticut Science Center asked the committee to continue funding the center’s ambassador program.
During her speech, she said the program helped her overcome her shyness and get over her fear of snakes.
According to an audiotape of the hearing, Hewett said: “If you’re bashful I got a snake sitting under my desk here.”
On Friday, Hewett said, “If she had said elephants, I would have said elephants.”

Of course he won’t apologize. He’s got more than enough insurance.

In FULL METAL JACKET it was called “Alabama Black Snake”. So, I guess there are “Connecticut Black Snakes”.

Rep. Ernest Hewett, one of Obama’s and Holder's sons that's a disgusting Donkey pervert. But that's OK, he's not expected to have any values or morality. Those are oxymorons for Donkeys (and O’s and H's sons).
To: MasterGunner01
How can a pervert like this guy be elected to any office?

He was just thinking “Black Snake Moan”.
Pretty cheezy comment, even in a bar.

Well, here you go.
This is the chance for 100 conservative women to occupy this snake’s office and demand he resign. Call him a misogynist, a woman-hater and a racist. Pile on, woman patriots. Drive this pig from office.
If you don’t do this, expect worse from these Nazi democrats. He crossed the line by insulting a child; make him pay.
To: raybbr
You just knew that with a comment like that he would have been one of Holder’s peeps.
