  •  Well... (0+ / 0-)

    ...he's also nuts.  He's the guy who said that lesbianism was so rampant in junior high schools that they couldn't let two girls go to the bathroom at the same time.

    •  In his defense (0+ / 0-)

      He was just quoting a local official.  He does oppose gay rights efforts, but you are taking that quote out of context.  Here's the Kos transcriptof the quote:

      You know, Josh Burkeen is our rep down here in the southeast area. He lives in Colgate and travels out of Atoka. He was telling me lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?"
