Underrated super hero Ralph Shortey comes to the rescue of....well, you read it....


Senate Bill 1420, by State Sen. Ralph Shortey (R-Oklahoma City), and State Repres. John Bennett (R-Sallisaw), is a pro-hunting bill that would legalize the use of laser scoping devices for the blind, including disabled veterans and children, when hunting....A physician must certify the person as being disabled, and the person must be permanently statutorily/legally blind as defined by the Social Security Administration, or afflicted with paraplegia or quadriplegia.


Yep...blind people...with guns.  Welcome to Oklahoma.

Our new state motto...

In All Problems Guns Are the Answer

Converted to Latin of course to make it look more sophisticated.

None of his legislation seems to be at face value, like the ban on fetuses as food...

Shortey is a plant. Like Stephen Colbert, he is satirizing the movement. Look at the record:

1. Introduces a bill to ban the use of aborted fetuses in human food.
2. Introduces a bill to submit to the voters the proposition that the Court of Criminal Appeals should be abolished and the Oklahoma Supreme Court not have jurisdiction to review the constitutionality of state legislation.
3. Supports "open carry" legislation because he needs to pack heat to protect himself from turkeys.
5. And now proposes that blind people be allowed to carry firearms. 

Just as Colbert does, all he is doing is taking the Right's ideas to their logical extreme, a classic debating technique, with the evident intent to make them look ridiculous.

What was number 4?

The state will never go for that one. I'm pretty sure Shortey knows about that fisting....

Most likley he will add an amendment to future liquer sales laws allowing sales on Sundays, but requiring a fisting prior to each sale.

May as well:

I want that inside of me!

Cant figure out who is stooping to what level here:


The Oklahoma Senate recognized Duane “Dog” Chapman and his wife Beth for their efforts to establish regulations on bail enforcers and bring fugitives to justice.

On Tuesday, Chapman, formerly the star of the long-running television series, Dog the Bounty Hunter, visited the state Capitol in support of Sen. Ralph Shortey’s Senate Bill 1013, which would create the Bail Enforcement and Licensing Act.

“The Chapmans have been instrumental in bringing some of the country’s most notorious criminals to justice, and now they are helping the states pass legislation to regulate bounty hunters,” said Shortey, R-Oklahoma City. “I’m grateful for their support of this effort to establish common sense requirements for bail enforcers, who play a very important role in law enforcement. This bill will help guarantee the brave men and women who work in this field are equipped with adequate training for the unique challenges they face.”

In 2010, Chapman was sued by one of the men he arrested in 2009, who alleged that Chapman falsely claimed the man had shot at him and edited the footage on the show to make it appear that way.

Incipient mullet alert!

Ah, Ralph. Ralphie, Ralphie, Ralphie. We hardly knew ye.

Ralph earned a dubious 49 percent conservative rating from the Oklahoma Conservative PAC, leading them to declare him a Republican In Name Only. It's like having Vito Corleone walk up and kiss you on the lips, a sure sign that you'll be sleeping with the fishes before long.

He'll have to do something to get his name in the news and re-energize his base. The Sharia law thing is played out and there probably aren't many bands of roving, blood-thirsty turkeys to be found at this time of the year. How about immigration controls on the Texas border? Or a heavy tax on chablis and Volvos, both favorites of the liberal elite. Or how about requiring all men over 18 to wear kilts rather than shorts or trousers? It's the manly thing to do, after all.

But if a pal says he put in the required training hours, who are we to question him?

It seems that Ralph Shortey is under investigation for indiscretions involving a young man and a motel room. Not that there's anything wrong with...well...but the young man in question is under age.

This should be interesting. I wonder if he'll resign "to spend more time with his family."

So let me get this, ahem, straight.

Shortey is behind or partially behind (sorry just can't quit) undoing the criminal reform laws we passed last November.  Apparently his underage male hooker has been selling Shortey weed for about a year.

I'm curious how many times those crimes were committed within 1000 feet of a school....Hmmmmm?

I'd love to see that fat turd begging for mercy from the, ahem, stiffer drug laws he was just endorsing.

The U.S. Secret Service has confirmed it is joining the investigation of a Republican state senator from Oklahoma City who is facing felony child prostitution charges.  The Secret Service's special agent in charge of the Oklahoma City office, Ken Valentine, confirmed Monday that investigators from his office are assisting in the investigation of state Sen. Ralph Shortey at the request of the Moore Police Department.
Valentine says the agency has access to some of the latest technology for investigating crimes that involve the use of smartphones and computers.

Sources in the Senate tell FOX 25 that Shortey was known to avoid security screenings at the capitol.

More national news, just not Ralph:

State Senator Bryce Marlatt from Woodward was ALSO charged today with sexual battery for attacking an Uber driver. He has not resigned. Family values baby!

I know people from both sides of the aisle do this kind of carp, but why is it we see about 10 Repubs to every Dem...???

Rhetorical question...

Why, in the old days, Democratic scandals involved sex while Republican ones were about money, and abuses of power were evenly split between them. But now! Republicans act like Democrats and vice-versa. No one has a sense of decorum or honors traditions any more. The Republic is doomed.

Damned kids.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — A candidate for the Oklahoma House of Representatives says his treasurer made a "copy and paste" error, leading to a pornographic title being listed on a campaign expense sheet.
Jason Reese says his treasurer has submitted his resignation Thursday morning after the gaffe.

First reported by The Lost Ogle, the porn title appears on Reese's 2nd Quarter Amended expense report for his campaign on a line referencing the company Anedot, Inc., and saying that it cost $10.05.

Reese tells FOX 25 he hired a treasurer to prepare the reports and make sure money donated to the campaign was handled properly. Reese says Anedot is a processing company for campaigns and nonprofits who manages the online donations. He says the $10.05 fee listed is the price withheld by the company when someone makes a $250 donation on his website. He says it's impossible to purchase pornography from Anedot because they're simply a credit card processing company.

Reese is a Republican candidate for State House District 83.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've often meant to write "donated underwear to Goodwill", for instance, and inadvertently wrote "hot wife Chloe needs to be punished" instead. I hear it's a common error.

You've been watching too many hearing aid ads.
 
 ;D

What?

You haven't watched enough hearing aid ads.

Just curious - how was this child trafficking when age of consent is 16 and the guy was 17?

Asking for a friend?

Ralph pays big money to sex trafficking victim...
