I don’t understand why Lt. Governor Mary Fallin gets rejected day after day by so many men. Watching the live Senate video feed today, a person might think Mary lacks personal hygiene or something the way senators ignored her while filing in and out of the chamber to vote to adjourn and reconvene tomorrow at 1:30pm.

I realize Mary is no spring chicken anymore, but she looked OK to me, sitting graciously in front of the chamber and quite dapper in a fashionable conservative business suit. And most of those senators are in no position to be picky about who they hang with anyway. Sure Mary has a bit of a reputation, but it’s not like these guys are saints themselves. Yeah, some girls do just wanna have fun, but these senators act like she just wants to use them for her own personal pleasure and then toss them aside.

Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin took the Senate chair and the Democratic majority boycotted the chamber after Sen. Scott Pruitt removed his workers’ comp bill from consideration.

Fallin, a Republican, spent much of the day presiding over an empty room, exercising her right as president of the Senate. She said her goal was to pass House Bill 2046 as advanced by Pruitt, R-Tulsa, without Democratic amendments.

It’s a good thing Mary’s not sensitive, or she might take this snubbing the wrong way and let these guys try to do their thing with out her help.

If us Okies only knew the real reasons.

Oklahomans should know more about House Bill 2046, the workers’ compensation reform measure being pushed by Lt. Governor Mary Fallin, than Republicans are telling them, according to Oklahoma Senate Judiciary Chairman Charlie Laster.

Senate Republican Leader Glenn Coffee and Sen. Scott Pruitt are using gross generalities to mislead the public about the bill and the reasons Democrats oppose it in its current form, Laster said in an announcement released by the Senate Communications Office.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow afternoon for the next episode of Oklahoma’s favorite live game show.
