If you read our report about Mary Fallin announcing her support for the Regional Food Bank with a holiday photo-op after voting against the poor and hungry in their time of need then you know all about the hypocrisy that we’ve come to expect.
What we here at FallinFAIL have decided is that maybe we should just cut the whole inauguration altogether. I mean think about the hundreds of thousands dollars that are going to be spent to feed legislators, lobbyists, and major donors in a time of an economic recession.
What if instead of doing that, the new Governor could donate that money to senior nutrition centers in Oklahoma that will probably end up on the chopping block of upcoming budget cuts. Sure it wouldn’t be a ton of money that would save all of our senior nutrition centers but it would help and the new Governor could finally put her money where her mouth is.
Imagine what it could be like! Fallin could announce to Oklahomans that instead of spending all this money on a big fancy ball she will be at the state capitol from 6pm-10pm that evening to any and all who would like to come by and meet her and talk about issues that matter to them.
Set an example…. like a real stateswoman.
UPDATE: Oh yeah… remember that time Mary said “a poor person never gave anyone a job”… those were good times…
