With the holiday weekend behind us and no new tragedies available for him to exploit, I guess it’s time to turn our attention back to the “Ryan Walters Is A Right-Wing Chode” news beat.
This time around, Oklahoma lawmakers have finally attempted to neuter Ryan and his right-hand puppeteer and campaign manager – Texas resident Matt Langston.
If you’re not familiar with Matt – or as his Austin cohorts call him, “Assmat” – consider yourself lucky. From all accounts, he’s a Grade-A terrible guy.
Basically, he’s the type of career opportunist who identifies a dopey, easy-to-control Manchurian Candidate to run for public office, helps that candidate get elected, and then, once the candidate takes office, works behind the scenes to set everything on fire and watch it burn, all while enriching himself and his buddies in the process.
Although Oklahoma lawmakers generally have no problem watching our public school system burn – they did just give more taxpayer money to private schools than public ones in the recent budget deal – they are not happy with all the fame and fortune Ryan and Matt have achieved from it.
