The Buffoon of Cleveland County: At It Again

Rep. Mark McBride
The Buffoon of Cleveland County is at it Again
Ah, Rep. Mark McBride of Moore Oklahoma, the perennial buffoon of Cleveland County, is at it again. Renowned for his profane outbursts and threats against employees, former daughter in laws, or just anyone that offends him by speaking the truth, McBride once again sullied his already tarnished reputation.

The full details are on Batesline.com along with some of the other interesting stories about McBride's lapses in good sense or ethics. But the story centers around Johnathan Small with the OCPA and McBride's dissatisfaction with his low score on their new annual voting index. The index is not that bad, it gives about forty points to a lot of the mid level RINOs but their top performers are pretty much the same as the top performers in our annual Trump Index. McBride got a 45 on the OCPA index, better than the 11 points he earned on the Trump Index (two votes right out of 21 total votes) and old McBride's temper or lack there of got the better of him.

It seems that McBride was the author of HB 1230, a bill that endangered student's privacy issues and OCPA had warned legislators that the bill was a bad one and would impact their voting record negatively. The bill passed anyway but McBride was butt hurt over the opposition so when Johnathan Small was walking past a committee room non other than Rep. Mark McBride was seen shooting Small the bird, then after inviting Small into the room McBride began to curse Small, dropping F bombs, calling him a piece of ...McDugle..., calling him a ….Kannaday..(a dick, but you knew that already), then telling him to “scat” like he was a stray dog.

McBride is such a tool though that being cursed by such a man is likely a welcome confirmation that you stand on the right side of things. Remember that McBride brought nationwide shame upon himself and the Oklahoma legislator last year after being caught on a hot mike bitching about STP, joking about bestiality and sexual harassment. The judgment of a man stupid enough to discuss his hobbies near a microphone is astounding and the incident completely overshadowed what Governor Stitt said during the press event.

McBride has a long history of bad judgment including threatening employees or former employees on voice mails and attacking his former daughter in law in an effort to intimidate her. The voice mail he left on his former employee's phone can be listened to at this link. I mean, what kind of irresponsible idiot does such a thing? McBride's laundry list of lawsuits, misdemeanor crimes, and tax problems can be found on our August 12th 2012 Newsletter in the story called “Mccarville Jumps the Shark”.
