garage band no?
Having been to a ZZ Top concert recently. that was nothing. Watching drunk bikers getting swarmed by the PoPo was worth the ticket alone. Yes!

I'd bet good money, if she wasn't the G's daughter no one would have noticed or cared (not only about that, but like her band either...:( )

white trash as one put it. (I can still say things like white trash without being shamed rightÉ)

Let's put it this way, white people in Oklahoma in the public eye should expect tribal comment on their perceived transgressions. The community can be very sensitive.

on the flip side, people going after a politician's daughter because they don't like the politician are what we call "chickensh&t. "

Was that a dig at me for creating this thread? It is a legitimate news story, I understand that you, personally, may not like the topic; however, the persons being discussed are public figures. Put simply, you don't like people talking about your gack, don't run for public office and certainly don't break the law or local code. Misuse of public funds is something that is endemic in our society and thinking you're above the law because your mom is Governor is what I'd call "chickensh&t". And I call a parent willing to buy their child a nice trailer but not pay rent on an apartment "chickensh&t."

I do think we could probably self regulate any posts that attack the daughter instead of the situation.

Edit: and by "attack" I mean stuff like "don't stick it in crazy" and other things like that.

No, no. its a dig at the news story. I feels for you. You're Oklahoma. its almost as hot as here. Mental air conditioning sent your way!

It is a legitimate news story,

Nah its not actually.

I understand that you, personally, may not like the topic;

Didn't you know. I'm The Decider.

I would say only if the band was slightly popular. If she's in a trailer, I don't think fame and fortune have found her yet.

Put simply, you don't like people talking about your gack, don't run for public office and certainly don't break the law or local code.

She didn't run for office. your argument doesn't hold.

Misuse of public funds is something that is endemic in our society and thinking you're above the law because your mom is Governor is what I'd call "chickensh&t".

You're confusing her with her mom again.

And I call a parent willing to buy their child a nice trailer but not pay rent on an apartment "chickensh&t."

i'd call that a parent tryign to keep an eye on her daughter.
is it gauche? Sure. Can it easily be rectified by paying the electricity bill? Sure and they should.

Is a story running the daughter through the mud to impugn the mother fair play? Of course not. i don't want the children of any politician brought into the mudpit unless they themselves are involved in it ESPECIALLY if they are young. So McCain daughter-slam away she's a political commentator. The Obama daughters? Send the secret service to arrest your spleen and only your spleen.
Should the mother find the author and kick him right in the nuts? You betcha and bring a to camera to film it.
If its good enough for Truman (seriously) its good enough for me.

She actually feeds on the publicity. She ramped up the drama after NA groups questioned her wearing of regalia during a photo shoot. At this point, her "fame" is completely derived from running her mouth.

My issue isn't with her, specifically; I presented the other information as background that she, herself, has created a public spectacle of herself in the past and has actually performed actions to increase rather decrease comment.

Ultimately my beef is with Governor Failin who supports the local GOP Chairman who likens people on public assistance to animals but then allows her child to siphon publicly paid utilities. Goose-gander. The daughter only comes into play because she's the common element when discussing how our Governor skirts laws/codes.

Sorry but she has a long way to go to achieve the great of Billy Carter and...Billy Beer.

I actually had to Google that.

Was it any good?

As good as a beer named "Billy Beer" could be...



(which is not good at all)

I had a book of Billy Carter quotes. I remember one of them outlining the difference between a good old boy and a redneck. A redneck tosses his empty beer cans out the window of his pickup, but a good old boy bags his.

Well, Pearl was involved......my first beer and the only time I ever drank it.

She's hot. Her sins are forgiven. All you guys just stop hating. That's a crazy I would stick it in.

She can wear as much or as little as she wants.

The daughter. The one in the pics with the headdress and pink hair. She's hot.

I wasn't paying any attention to somebody named billy in the thread.

Sure you were...

He's hot for Billy....got it bad sooooo bad...he's hot for Billy...

Agreed. It just so happens that i saw timetowaste85 walking down the street singing billy by Elton John with a wistful expression on his face.

THE EVIDENCE MOUNTS!

You sure it wasn't Billy Jean by Michael Jackson?

Dammit, I hate you all!!

To be fair, it's not like her daughter is the only person that moves in with her parents. The Governors step-son is currently living in the apartment above the garage as well .

But honestly, I don't really have a problem with the kids moving in with the parents if there are hard times. They won't be the first, they won't be the last. gak happens.

My whole thing was that the trailer process went like this:

- people found out that the daughter is living there with her trailer hooked up to the utilities
- people pointed out that this is against city code
- the people responsible with enforcing the code and the governor's office were quick to point out that this is state property and city codes don't matter
- people pointed out that the governor's mansion is inside a special district that was created by the city, the legislature, and the governor's office to make sure nothing shady is going
- that special district has codes that prohibits the trailer
- when that was pointed out to the governor's office the trailer was moved

If you are going to move your kid into the trailer behind the garage, you think that someone on your staff would know if it was against the rules or not.

It's fascinating, isn't it? During Gamergate, people were shocked and appalled that people would claim that the men of this demographic would be sexist, and in this thread, look how quickly it was derailed with comments about her personal appearance and assertions of willingness to have sex with her.

Have you seen 30 year old women lusting over magic mike at the Cinema on a Friday Night? I mean, it's not sexist to talk about someones looks, all genders do it.

It isn't sexist to talk about the attractiveness of someone. It's the first thing people notice in each other. Get over it man. Nothing sexist with compliments (because that is what these are by the way...) at all.

For those that think she is attractive, she seems like the kind of person who would look pretty bland without make up. She has also had 2 marriages in a short time... gross. Plus she is the governors daughter, fastest way to the gallows!

but.... timetowaste85 made it all about equal opportunity coz he's all about billy.

i dunno Ouze, i think you might be a little uptight about this and...this is why we can't have fun things any more.

Personally as a inanimist I want to pork her trailer.Did you see the size of it's wheelbase?

Sounds like she is confused, and has a pseudo-wild streak but doesn't drift far. All in all harmless and there is no story here.

She is easy on the eyes, and is happy to pose for photos so, no harm in the commentary.
