As we mentioned on Friday, Jim Inhofe caught the Oklahoma politosphere off-guard last week when he endorsed his virtually unknown Chief of Staff Luke Holland to fill his soon-to-be-open US Senate seat.
When you think about it, it's actually not a bad political play/cop-out by the old snowball-throwing geezer.
Inhofe knows that a lot of his right-wing buddies in the Oklahoma GOP will be clamoring for the open seat, so it makes sense for him to avoid playing favorites or hurting any feelings by endorsing his long-time aide.
Holland held a press conference on Friday to introduce himself to the media. For the most part, he appears to be the standard right-wing Evangelical Republican politician. He was born into affluence, is super religious, and thinks global warming is a hoax. One thing in particular, though, stood out:
Holland says he’s 35 and single because “the Lord hasn’t provided the right woman” yet. pic.twitter.com/GMsp47adwm

Wow. I know totally responsible media outlets like us shouldn't speculate, but since Holland "wants to restore Christian values to our nation," and he's single because "the lord hasn't provided the right woman," I guess that means he's a 35-year-old virgin?
