Sadly, for the second time in recorded history a former Oklahoma football coach has become publicly active in politics. The first time was when Bud Wilkinson, who was a gentleman and a saint, began endorsing Republican candidates back in the mid-60's.
Now we have Barry, who is capable of being a decent guy, lining up with a twit like Carson. He's really letting his disreputable side show, except in a different way from his younger days.
Fox ran a segment about this race a few days ago. They referenced a statement by Coburn about lesbian teachers in NE Oklahoma. What was that about?
It gets worse -- Barry and Toby Keith are putting on a fundraiser Monday night for Thad Balkman's opponent -- a lesbian who is running against Thad because he is pro-life, pro-marriage, etc. She looks to be in her 60's from her forum appearance and she cannot answer the questions or won't answer. Horrible candidate but that doesn't stop Switzer from holding a fundraiser for the RAT. As for Toby keith, he supported Thad in the past but when Barry says jump, too many people around here say "how high?"
