The GOP candidate for Senator in Oklahoma, Tom Coburn, expressed concern about dire problems in that state’s schools. How dire?
In the tape [of the town hall meeting] released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that ‘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?”
That’s pretty … um … remarkable.
Especially since it doesn’t seem to be true.
Joe McCulley, school superintendent in Coalgate, chuckled when asked about Coburn’s remark. “He knows something I don’t know. We have not identified anything like that. We have not had to deal with any issues on that subject — ever,” McCulley said.
When the school superintendent’s remarks were reported back, Coburn’s spokesman said, “If that’s what they say, I guess we will have to take their word for it.”
Yeesh.

Maybe he was thinking of Feminazis. Or the Yellow Peril.
“Doctor Zin! Doctor Zin has been spotted in southeast Oklahoma!”
But is there a spank inferno involved?
Road trip!
