After eight years of seeing our Governor fill her cabinet with establishment handlers, it's nice to see Kevin Stitt going the corporate executive route and surrounding himself with a bunch of ass-kissers, brown-nosers and yes-men.
Last week, select members of Kevin Stitt's cabinet stopped by a Tulsa Chamber of Commerce event to answer some questions and talk about the amazing job their boss is doing.
Via The Tulsa World:
Gov. Kevin Stitt is an “apolitical” chief of state who is more interested in bottom lines than elections, three members of his Cabinet told the Tulsa Regional Chamber on Friday.
“Gov. Stitt is completely apolitical. I mean completely,” said Sean Kouplen, the Bixby banker Stitt tapped as an unpaid secretary of commerce and workforce development. “It is all about the ideas. … There have been so many times our political advisers have said, ‘Don’t do this. Don’t bring them in.’ It is irrelevant to him. He is all about trying to figure out the best way to get us to top 10.”
As a certified ass-kisser who was able to use my charm and brown-nosing skills to overcome general laziness and rise all the way to corporate middle management by age 27, I respect what Kouplen is doing here. The fact that he's not getting paid to kiss so much ass should really pay off for him down the road.
