I knew it wasn't a white guy that was John Doe #2! Odd you should mention Richardson -- I find him beneath my contempt for advertising on TV right after 9/11. I wrote him a nasty email and said that it was inappropriate and for him to be advertising so early in a campaign was beneath my contempt.

Well Richardson shows up for the Norman Christmas parade and moves to slow as to block the everyone from seeing the bands from the front. No cheers BTW as he went by.

I won't put my real opinion of Frank Keating on this forum but suffice it to say that I am not sorry to see him go and anyone associated with him! Not soon enough for me BTW! Interesting how this is all coming out!

There is a article on FR somewhere about Frank Keating's brother's book that he wrote before OKC bombing, but was too similar to what actually happened, even to the point that the main character was Tom McVeigh. If you remember, please link.

Governor Frank Keating is the second chief executive in Oklahoma history -- and the first Republican -- to win election to two consecutive terms. First elected in 1994 and re-elected by a landslide in 1998, Keating has been one of Oklahoma’s most reform-minded and active governors. Under his leadership, Oklahoma has become a true two-party state, a Right-to-Work state and has made significant progress in education reform, tax relief, roadbuilding, environmental protection, economic development and public safety. Beyond Oklahoma’s borders, Frank Keating is widely recognized as one of America’s most articulate and able political leaders. Born in St. Louis on February 10, 1944, Keating moved with his family to Tulsa before he was six months old. He graduated from Cascia Hall School in Tulsa and attended Georgetown University, where he completed a degree in history and served as student body president. He earned his law degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1969 and became a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, serving in west coast field offices in a variety of duties. Among his investigative targets were new left terrorists. Keating returned to Tulsa and became an assistant district attorney. In 1972 he was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives, and in 1974 he won a seat in the Oklahoma State Senate, where he served for seven years, ultimately rising to the position of minority leader. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed Frank Keating as United States Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma. He was soon chosen chairman of all of the U. S. Attorneys, and in 1985 he was named Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, beginning seven years of Washington service that would make him the highest ranking Oklahoma in the Reagan and Bush administrations. Keating also held the positions of Associate Attorney General in the Department of Justice and General Counsel and Acting Deputy Secretary at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In Washington, Keating oversaw the operations of virtually every federal law enforcement agency, including the Secret Service, U. S. Customs Service, ATF, the U. S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and all 94 U. S. Attorneys. He was also the American representative to Interpol and was chairman of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. At HUD, Keating joined Secretary Jack Kemp in cleaning up that troubled agency. Near the end of President George Bush’s administration in 1992, the President appointed Keating to the federal appeals bench, but partisan wrangling in Congress delayed his confirmation until after the 1992 election, when it was scuttled by the incoming Clinton administration. Keating then returned to Oklahoma and ran for Governor in 1994,

Found it. Does anyone have a copy of this book. It was written in 1991 by Martin Keating, Governor Frank Keating's brother.
