There may be a snake under his desk but there will be no female interns in his office if Connecticut State Rep. Ernest Hewett (D) has his way.
Criticism Of Hewett’s Inappropriate Remark Intensifies, But He Won’t Quit
Asked about the lawmakers’ comments later Friday, Hewett denied he has a history or a problem. For example, he said, “I purposely will not have female interns. My intern now is a male. I want to keep it like that. I’ve had female interns in the past that sit in my office all day. I thought it was totally weird and I didn’t want another.
“As a matter of fact, I went four, maybe six years without having an intern at all because of stuff like that. I have a male intern, the last two I’ve had were male.”
Asked if he chose to only have males, he said, “I don’t get to choose. That’s why I was so leery about staying away from interns. I don’t know what they’re going to give me. They may give me a female, but I don’t want a female intern. That may sound sexist but I really don’t. That way that keeps me good and that keeps everybody else good.”
Odd choice of words to be “leery” of female interns. He insists women need not worry about being touched on their breasts or bottoms by him. If they have nice shoes, well that’s another matter. He admits to openly admiring a female colleague’s shoes. Leery indeed.
He also said: “Am I guilty of telling someone they look nice? Yes. Am I guilty of telling someone you have nice shoes? Yes.”
He mentioned as an example Rep. Themis Klarides, R-Derby, a former swimsuit model who always dresses well. “I sat next to Themis Klarides in there today and I always compliment her on shoes, because she always wears nice shoes and I always compliment her on how she looks,” Hewett said. “If that’s sexual harassment, then I’m guilty. Other than that, to walk up to someone or grab a woman by her bottom, her breasts or say I want to do this…no, no, no, no. I won’t do that. That’s just wrong.”
Speaking of shoes, I’m waiting for the other one to drop, the one where Hewett’s critics are guilty of racial stereotyping.
I think this guy has a shoe fetish. You might want to check his closet.
Btw, did he say to this woman: “*Love* your shoes. Are they Ferragamos?”
or:
“Is it hot in here or is it just your shoes?”
Memo to Rep. Hewett: You lost me at the word “female.” As the song goes, “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar,” *not* “I Am A Female, Hear Me Roar.” Sheesh !
Never had to worry about my shoes getting glances, the eyes never made it down that far.Hewitt is definitely not a boob man.
Meow!!!
Another pundit noted the Yahoo report somehow neglects to mention the party of the person in question, identifying him as a “lawmaker” and “a five-time Connecticut state representative”. In a situation like this, the party affiliation is only relevant for Republicans.
I’m beginning to wonder why affiliation is left out. A Wash. Examiner article about a State representative in Tenn., who was arrested for DWI and lived rent free in a lobbyists home, neglects to mention that he is a Republican.

Then again, maybe we there’s some merit to Hewett’s actions. I’m told that the animal just added to the Federal endangered species list is the trouser snake.
Hewett is a slimy pig, and now everybody knows it. The entire time this young girl was talking, his mind was in the gutter and he vomited when he opened his pie hole.
This pervert sounds like a predator. Censure and remove from office.
“Excuse me while I whip this out…” *scream*
