Say what you want about Governor Fallin and her family, but they really do a great job of advancing and perpetuating negative stereotypes about Oklahoma.
In case you haven’t heard, Hipster Boo Boo has moved into a trailer at the Governor’s mansion. Yes, a trailer. In a perfect world, I’d follow that sentence with “And she’s engaged to and living with Sir John Michael,” but as Governor Fallin constantly reminds us, the world isn’t perfect.
Via The Oklahoman, which glossed over the embarrassing news in yesterday’s paper:
Like many other parents whose children are grown, Gov. Mary Fallin enjoys when they come over and stay a while.
That’s the case this summer at the Governor’s Mansion.
Fallin’s daughter, Christina, pulled her travel trailer onto the property in late April and has been living in it while she looks for more permanent housing…
While she looks for more permanent housing? That must be a typo. I think they meant a more permanent husband!
Haha! Zing! That was mean. I’m just joking. We all know how hard it is for white affluent girls with rich, powerful parents to find “more permanent housing.” As we know, apartments, condos, duplexes, houses and empty lots at trailer parks in Harrah are hard to come by.
“Wade and I are very fortunate to have a close knit family and are really blessed having some of our kids home for the summer,” Fallin said.
“A couple of our adult children have moved out of state pursuing their dreams.”
“Family is very important to us as parents. Our children enjoy spending time with us too and we love spending time with them, especially as we are all really busy people.
Yep, Mary Fallin has done such a rotten job as Governor that even her step-kids have to move out-of-state to find a good job. What a positive thing to brag about. You think she could land them a gig in the Earthquake Denial Departments at Devon Energy or Continental Resources, right?
Sadly, we’ve actually acquired a pic of Hipster Boo Boo’s trailer via the Ogle Mole Network. Check it out:
Hey rest of the world, if you want to make fun of us for this, feel free. I don’t blame you. We totally deserve it.
Anyway, one thing The Oklahoman article does not mention is that Christina’s trailer may technically be illegal and violate county code. For example, you can’t let your cousin from Newalla move his RV into your backyard in Bluff Creek and just live out of it. We have rules and regulations to prevent such things from happening and protect property values.
This is how the Oklahoma County Code Book describes a “trailer” in the Definitions section:
Who knows? Maybe the Governor’s Mansion meets certain zoning requirements and the trailer doesn’t violate any laws. It doesn’t really matter. We still have someone living out of a trailer at our Governor’s mansion. Maybe next year we’ll add an above the ground pool, porta-potty meth lab and rusted out Trans Am on cinder blocks. We want our Governor’s residence to be as authentic as possible.

UPDATE: Does Hipster Boo Boo’s trailer violate code or not?
UPDATE II: Recapping Trailergate
Honestly, that girl is SCARY looking. I wonder if she makes small children cry?
I suppose that trailer uses electricity and water. Wonder if the taxpayers are footing the bill…
Of course the tax payers are paying her utility bills. You have to wonder if she legally hooked her trailer into the OKC sewer system. Trailer park trash Oklahoma Governor style.
That means she’s on public assistance. Piss test her. I bet she comes up hot.
Always keeping it classy Failen!
Why of Course we ARE
OMG, is Oklahoma County using Comic Sans as their go-to font?
Naturally, this exemplifies why a 20-something wannabe hipster is living in a travel trailer at the Governor’s Mansion (aka “her Mom’s house”) – it all ties into a neat, little Derplahoman bow.
That’s Arial.
Arial Reshef? She smokin’.
No, the headings in the code regulations PDF that the link takes you to are all Comic Sans. What in the world?
Not taking away from your great efforts, but this shit practically writes itself, doesn’t it?
I wonder if the pot holes on her street get fixed?
She was polite to me, so why are you crying bc her mother has left the rails?
Pattie me boy, you were doing you usual good UNTIL you started in on MY 24 foot round above ground swimming pool. (Man she really is scarey looking!) Mary and Wade, help your offspring grow up. Kick their ass out.
I’m having visions of cousin Eddie.

C’mon folks, give the girl a break. She’s gotta live somewhere the 51 weeks of the year between Burning Man.

I was just about to look for a GIF of this scene 🙂
Now that there’s an RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. It’s a good looking vehicle, ain’t it??
What happened to the reno plans?

they are all gonna live in the trailer, did you not read the article?!? :/
At least OKC has a way of reporting code violations online. We’re not that out of touch.
Its times like this that I remember what Jesus said: “You cant feed these animals or they’ll park a fucking trailer in your yard and never leave”
Actually, that was Randy Brogdon paraphrasing white, conservative Jesus.
Where’s the dump station?
Am guessing she has been living at the mansion. Then the work started which involved moving Governor Cougar and her current husband. Mary either couldn’t, or didn’t want to bring Hipster with her to the new undisclosed CougarCave (with heated hot tub and plenty of Troopers), or Hipster wanted to be “home alone” at the mansion. Since Hipster couldn’t stay in the mansion, she obtained a travel trailer and parked it at the mansion so she could at least have the grounds to haunt (pursuing her dreams) while the folks are away.
Am so glad we have such a high class family at the mansion. Hope Mary’s replacement makes sure nothing is missing when they move in. Hopefully Mary had to leave some sort of damage deposit to offset whatever damage/shrinkage there is to the mansion during her stay.
