Wes Lane - Gone, but refusing to be forgotten


Oklahoma County - Many of us thought Wes Lane would soon be out of sight and out of mind after being shown the door last November in a historic expression of (do I dare say it) no faith by voters in Oklahoma County.

We here at L&O-Okie Style only wish we could have been there as he slithered out of his county office, tail between his legs as the glow of his self appointed halo was extinguished.

Obviously Lane subscribes to the belief that there is no gratification like self-gratification ~ and his comes in the form of billboards.

Anyone who has been driving around the metro as of late has surely seen the plethora of billboards touting the solemn Lane as he peers to the heavens and seems to be thinking to himself "Why? Why? Why!!!!!"

The boards read "Thank you for the privilege of serving you as your District Attorney -- Wes Lane" followed by "Psalm 100" in the bottom corner.

We can only assume the boards were purchased with leftover campaign funds, but there is no disclosure on the signs.

To add insult to arrogance, I now hear Lane is flat refusing to take down the Web site that identifies him as the current district attorney of Oklahoma County.

Yes folks, I'm not talking about his election site (http://www.weslaneforda.com), I'm speaking of the site that since 2001 has been the "The Official Website of the Oklahoma County District Attorney" http://weslaneda.com.

First he impersonated a righteous man and now he's impersonating the district attorney!
