Governors Fallin and Palin: Why are Female Politicians in the GOP So Ruthless?

Botched Execution of Clayton Lockett 

In the botched execution of Lockett, I hope Oklahoma Governor Mary  Fallin saw all that she may have wished to see.  The doctor stabbed at the black prisoner's arms then moved down and began fiddling with his groin, unable to find the right vein in which to inject the lethal chemical concoction.  The muscular man began to writhe on the gurney, speak, cry out in agony, lift himself up, then fall back against the restraints. Lockett died 40 minutes later of a heart attack.  Just hours before, as he awaited his execution, the prison guards had seen fit to taser the man because of what they called "his defiance."  I hope psychopaths haven't infiltrated the prison guard staff  operating from a macabre lust to participate in the execution of more death row inmates. After all, what state of mind does it take to taser a man on his way to the execution chamber?   

The Governor had even been warned that this could happen because the drugs were untested.  Richard Dieter, the executive director of the Death Penalty Informtion Center said that Oklahoma officials simply ignored the warnings so eager were they to get on with the show. According to Dieter:  

 "The whole idea that you can just do whatever you want as long as you kill somebody was a recipe for a failure. . .In January, the state put to death Michael Lee Wilson with a similarly secretive batch of untested drugs. His final words were, 'My whole body is burning.'

As for Governor Palin,  at a National Rifle Association Conference last week, she electrified the crowd shouting:  "Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." 

But then again her version of Christianity is not much different from Al-Qaeda's version of Islam anyway.
