With each conservative cabinet pick, the media freaks out and does their best to characterize each person as a radical extremist instead of just, well, a consistent conservative. Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt was next in line for the media to attack, as Trump picked the critic of excessive government regulation to head the Environmental Protection Agency. The liberal women at the View were quick to bash the “horrible pick” as someone who was going to leave the United States in an apocalyptic wasteland filled with polluted air and dirty water.
Whoopi Goldberg introduced the discussion by chuckling as she read off a brief biography of Pruitt and his record fighting the EPA’s regulations in Oklahoma. Co-host Joy Behar blasted the pick as a “horrible” before hyperventilating that Pruitt was going to make everyone breathe polluted air and drink dirty water once he got into office.
JOY BEHAR: Why don't they just call it the environmental pollution agency instead of the environmental protection agency because he is going to dismantle everything in place -- the air you breathe, the water you drink. I mean, what he's done in Oklahoma is not that great either. I don't understand why he met with Al Gore, what was the purpose of that?

Behar needs a methane counter for her mouth more than the cows do...
“I don’t understand why he met with Al Gore, what was the purpose of that?”
That is the one thing I can agree with

But! But! Trump is not a Conservative!!!! ;-)
Joy Behar really is helping The View live up to its aspiration to be a bunch of ignorant, average, urban-dwelling liberal old yentas sitting around bitching about current affairs. What she says is entirely predictable and facts are irrelevant to the conversation. I’d almost call it quaint — like an unhinged liberal version of a Hallmark card or Norman Rockwell painting.
Oklahoma has been a pretty horrible place for all the time I’ve known it. Earthquakes, tornadoes, drought... I’ve had family there since around 1878. They moved from north Texas to Purcell to escape the drought. LOL Can you imagine being desperate enough to move to Purcell to escape anything?
Here’s part of a poem my grandfather wrote about his brother who left Oklahoma for the Alaskan gold rush:
He came to the gap in the Saw-tooth range — A rider from Broken Bow –
And he paused for a look at the Great Unknown, Far-flung at his feet, below.
Behind lay the dust of his withered hopes, Ahead was the mystic lure,
Far back on the trail were his placers of Doubt – Out there were the sands of Sure
Don’t understand the title of the show.
How can you have a view of anything if your head is up your....???
At least Purcell has Ponder’s, or at least it still did the last time I drove thru.
Three key words: “I don’t understand....” Past those three, nothing else needs to be said. ;-)
Assuming you were on I35, you didn’t drive through it but past it. The main street of Purcell is pretty amazing. It was built wide enough for an entire herd of cattle to be driven through. Purcell according to my grandmother was the capital of Indian Territory when Oklahoma became a state. Ask people on the east side of the state however and there are one or two other candidates. My grandmother was 19 when OK became a state and always said that the musical of the same name was about her life except that it was too racy.
Behar and Stein=crazy town cows
Yesterday the libs on Facebook were screaming about Trump having chosen Pruitt because he allowed fracking in Oklahoma, the cause of all “those” earthquakes....apocalypse is coming because of Trump! LOL!
The Al Gore thing, and several other meetings, I believe are just to keep the media on their tippy toes and to maintain the rotation of their heads. Keep 'em guessing is my guess.
As he said about Boeing, he's doing a "number" on the media and the Left.
But yes, since I-35 was finished in that part of the world sometime back in the last millenium the drive has bypassed Purcell and the Arbuckle mountains. Seems like Ponder's has a walk-in restaurant near a Holiday Inn or something, which we've been in once or twice on the drive to the Big D and elsewhere. Not nearly the same thing as the old drive thru Purcell and the Arbuckles, but the magic had to have had a lot to do with being just a yute at the time, right?
Her view is quite the opposite of mine. Can’t believe they’ve been on for so many years but that’s Hollyweird for you.
Perhaps the Spew should look at a map of the election and see who is out of touch with America?
Pray America woke
I have wonderful photos of my great Aunt Maud and her friends frolicking in the Arbuckle mountains, especially at Turner Falls. They were probably taken with one of the first Brownie cameras in existence. Lovely women dressed in white dresses to the ankle, men in white suits and skimmers. Men and women actually bathing in Turner Falls together, thoroughly covered of course. A wonderful moment in time.
Peon. We all know that ALL power should be derived from NYC of LA. Outside of there, you don’t matter. Ooooppppps! Too bad. LOL! Of course the Electoral College hasn’t convened and voted yet.
You don’t know jack about Oklahoma. I’ve lived in Edmond for 30+ years...one of the top tier communities in the country..look it up.
We stand when the flag passes, speak the King’s English, breathe fresh air..and laugh at the rest of the country.
One final observation. We have 77 counties in our fair state..every one of which was carried by the Republicans in the last two federal elections. Not one county was won by the democrats.
Did I mention that we stand when our flag passes?
