1. She is a repug running for Governor in OK.

From Wiki.

Mary Fallin (born December 9, 1954) is a Congresswoman from the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
She is currently the Congresswoman for Oklahoma's 5th congressional district, which includes most of Oklahoma City. She is the second woman elected to the United States Congress from Oklahoma and the first since 1921 when Alice Mary Robertson was elected to Congress and served for one term from 1921 to 1923.
Fallin was the first Republican and first woman to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma. She served in that post from 1995 to 2007. She resigned her office on January 2, 2007 in order to be sworn in to Congress on January 4, 2007. Lieutenant Governor-elect Jari Askins was appointed by Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry to fill the remaining days of Fallin's term.
Congresswoman Fallin is running for Governor of Oklahoma in 2010.

3. And she's a nasty one too

Got caught with her panties down around her ankles and her highway patrolman escort's zipper down while they had to take a break down by the lake there, While still married while being our lt. governor. Yeah she's a real class act all right. He, the trooper and her both got divorces over it too.

I could look up links but I don't really care too as I despise the wOman

5. I think this story's going to keep getting bigger, and weirder.

I smell a conspiracy, and it's coming from the Bushco U.S. attorneys. The same guys who did Spitzer and Siegelman are looking to take down other prominent Democrats, especially in the South, as well as those with law enforcement or regulatory powers. Time to fire ALL the Bushco U.S. attorneys and replace them with honest, good-faith actors.
