A Milestone In Red State History

Oklahoma was established at the 46th state of the Union 100 years ago today, and as a tribute (?), here are the state's two senators in action.

First, that ecological scholar Jim Inhofe asks former Vice President Al Gore a question at the hearing on the climate crisis held earlier this year and then tries to cut Gore off from answering, earning an appropriate slap-down from chair Barbara Boxer (albeit a genteel one, since we're talking about the U.S. Senate and no Repug is trying to impeach a Dem president - and by the way, Babs, what's doing with that Senate Ethics Committee anyway?)



Next, we have Tom Coburn telling Tim Russert that, as a medical doctor, he can tell if someone is lying from their body language.



So congratulations, Oklahomans, and go out and paint the town red; just don't engage in any activity with minors or livestock that could be self-incriminating in a court of law. Just show your state pride for all to see.

(After watching those two yutzes, part of me wants us to contact Spain and ask it we could give it back.)
