It looks like Kevin Stitt has a new person to provide him with bad legal advice!
Just months after Jason Reese stepped down following our report that he was having an affair with a lobbyist, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced he's hired a former judge who wears a bowtie as his new Chief Legal Counsel, helping ensure that type of embarrassing debacle never happens again.
Meet Trevor "Doogie" Pemberton:
I know some people really like them, but I'm not a big fan of bowties. Sure, they're okay to wear to weddings, awards shows or if you joined a barbershop quartet, but's that's about it. They're basically a form of mild rebellion for boring people – the square equivalent of a sorority girl coming home for fall break with a belly button ring. They're also a gateway fashion item. First, you start with the bowtie, then before you know it, you're wearing suspenders and pinning a flower to your lapel that shoots water.
Regardless of your thoughts on bowties, I think we can all agree judges shouldn't wear them. You should treat a judge with respect in their courtroom, and that's just too hard to do when they're dressed up like Pee-Wee Herman.
