New (R) Oklahoma governor vows to support and 'offend' the Constitution
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Is she or is she not the governor of Oklahoma?

Mary Fallin was sworn in Monday as Oklahoma's first female governor, but in reciting the oath of office she really didn't promise to "support, obey and defend the Constitution."

At an outdoors ceremony in bone-chilling and teeth-chattering cold, Fallin told Oklahoma Chief Justice Steven W. Taylor that she would "support, obey and offend" the U.S. and state constitutions.

"She dropped the 'd'," Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said Wednesday. "I was amazed that anyone was able to speak at all or get any of their lines right considering how cold it was outside." It was 29 degrees and light snow was falling when Fallin recited her oath of office on the steps of the state Capitol.

It wasn't the Cold it was a Freudian slip

3. Kennedy's inaugural speech was at 27 degrees
1961 = Eight (8) inches of fresh snow laid on the ground for President John F. Kennedy's inauguration.

6. The feeling is mutual. The Constitution is offended by the teabagger types.
