Mary Fallin to Offend the Constitution

Well if it’s not plagiarizing KOSU in your inaugural address - then it’s accidentally saying you plan to offend the Constitution rather than defend it. 
Mary Fallin was sworn in Monday as Oklahoma’s first female governor, but in reciting the oath of office she really didn’t promise to “support, obey and defend the Constitution.”

At an outdoors ceremony in bone-chilling and teeth-chattering cold, Fallin told Oklahoma Chief Justice Steven W. Taylor that she would “support, obey and offend” the U.S. and state constitutions.

“She dropped the ‘d’,” Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said Wednesday. “I was amazed that anyone was able to speak at all or get any of their lines right considering how cold it was outside.” It was 29 degrees and light snow was falling when Fallin recited her oath of office on the steps of the state Capitol.”
What exactly does the TeaParty think of a Governor who won’t defend their own constitution?  I mean come on… Also can I just say Alex’s excuse of “it was too cold to say the letter ‘d” is simply ridiculous.

Calling Dr. Freud… emergency .. come right away!

Gov’s Across US Forgo Balls to Save Money Not Mary Fallin

We here at FallinFail have been the harshest critics of newly elected Governor Mary Fallin for spending boocoos of bucks on a series of inaugural balls at a time when the state is in an economic crisis.
It seems the cost of balls at such a tough economic time hasn’t gone unnoticed by others.
“In California, faced with a $28 billion deficit, incoming Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown is foregoing festivities for frugality. After Brown takes the oath of office, he’ll host a reception for friends, family and supporters. There will be neither a ball nor a party.”
Guess that’s the difference between people who have taste and those who don’t.  Fear not - Florida’s new Governor-elect is spending $3million all raised in special interest money.
Has there been an independent media report about how much is being spent on Mary Fallin’s balls, where the money is coming from, and if those companies will also have close ties to the new Governor’s office?
Just Curious.
