There was a great editorial published in the Washington Examiner Thanksgiving week (also appeared in the Examiner’s Baltimore and San Francisco editions, as well as online at Examiner.com) publicizing the political game-playing by Oklahoma’s Attorney General in the case of the Oklahoma 3.

“If truth-in-advertising laws apply there, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson should change the friendly billboards welcoming visitors to the state in its centennial year. The revised copy should say: ‘Welcome to Oklahoma (Unless you favor taxpayer rights and political speech, in which case you may go to prison),’” the editorial begins.

The editorial goes on to suggest that “perhaps it’s not what the Oklahoma Three did that worries Edmondson but rather what they represent,” noting the Oklahoma 3’s well-known advocacy for citizen control of politics and politicians.

“The AG would do well to remember that his uncle—J. Howard Edmondson—was swept into the governor’s chair in 1958 by a ‘prairie fire’ reform movement against entrenched politicians. A new prairie fire could sweep nephew Drew out of office if he keeps defending his buddies in the political establishment.”
