[...] economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis,” she and other Oklahoma lawmakers declared last year. “This nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same-sex [...]

Oh, this person is an embarrassment to those of us who actually think for ourselves and live in Oklahoma. There will be a rally at the capitol in a few days. I cannot believe that she is still in office after last year’s ridiculous statements. Actually, I can.

Sally’s extended her stay at the crazy house.

Seriously, normal humans don’t think like this.

Incidentally, Keith Olbermann named Sally Kern as #2 on his “Best Persons In The World” segment on tonight’s show. It was quite sarcastic (as BPITW tend to be), but he did make a mockery of her bugnuttery.

I really think he should have reversed the roles, though — by putting the anonymous atheist donor under the snarkastic spotlight of the “Best Persons” list and Krazy Kern on the more serious “Worst Persons” list (since her attempted inanity is far more deserving of scrutiny and criticism).

[And, FWIW, Olbermann even said "god damn" whilst discussing the cluelessness of Don'tAskDon'tTell. 'Twas probably not the first time; but 'twas nice to hear, nonetheless.]

Sally Kern should propose a bill that calls for a “state religion of Oklahoma” with details on which denomination is recognized, how to pray, what theological tenets must be believed, how much should be tithed, the wordings of mealtime blessings, how baptisms are to be performed, the proper interpretation of scripture, etc. I would think that even the religious people of Oklahoma may not think this (theocracy) is a good idea.

I’m pretty sure it’s Sally Kern’s fault for wearing clothing made with two different fabrics as to why our economy sucks.

Kern is an embarrassment to the whole state. As Kenny said, her district is a (slowly declining) middle class neighborhood whose biggest organizations are a massive Nazarene church and an adjoining Nazarene university. Just to show how desperate this neighborhood is for funds, Bethany once painted a blue line all the way around its city limits to remind residents to spend money (i.e. pay sales tax) within the blue line so the town could stay afloat.

But has Sally Kern done anything to help this? Nope. She just wants to attract attention to herself. All she cares about is making a spectacle. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s warming up to run for governor or congress some day. She’s definitely in the process of mastering the “Hateful Demagogue who Appeals to People’s Gut Feelings but Never Actually Accomplishes Anything” persona.

This is Oklahoma. We have legislators who write resolutions condemning Richard Dawkins’ before he comes to deliver a speech, then investigating the University of Oklahoma zoology department for inviting him to speak during Darwin week. We have legislators who write bills to put a ten commandments monument at the capitol (it passed rather easily) and offer to front the money themselves.

Mrs. Kern represents a little district in Bethany whose main source of income comes from Southern Nazarene University. Democrats have a very small chance in Oklahoma (unless supported by a famous coach, like our current governor).

I’ve heard nothing Mrs. Kern has ever written has actually been signed into law, but those little old religious people couldn’t possibly vote against a good Christian like Sally.

And yes…we couldn’t possibly allow our hated neighbors from Texas be more ~~batshit crazy~~ religious than we are.

I can assure you it wasn’t me. Or any of my friends.

She brings us so much shame. And she does NOT speak for me, as an Oklahoman, or as a human being.
