An Honest Day's Work

Whether you’re an R or a D or a one-legged striped giraffe, you’ve got to admire the sheer brilliance of the OK gubernatorial campaign of Mary Fallin-R.

First, let’s set the table for discussion with the recent appearance of ex-Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich on Celebrity Apprentice, who when he wasn’t telling every person he encountered on the street “I didn’t do it,” was trying to figure out how to turn on his laptop or send a text on his cell phone. Executive assistants all over America were falling off their couches doubled over with laughter. Not only was there a big question mark over his head, but mine, as well! How? What? Has he ever…? What did he do before…? How can someone be that…? Huh?

Contrast that with these images of Fallin “Working her way across OK,” doing a different real person’s real job each day. There’s Mary drivin’ the hay truck! And there she is doing your income taxes for you! And it was fun to imagine the scenarios – here’s Mary with your UPS package on your porch!

No one can say she hasn’t done an honest day’s work, like so many career politicians. They’ve got the photos to prove it. How’s that for a brilliant “plain folks appeal” campaign.
