Memo To Lori McMahan: Shame On Who?

Two years ago, Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan's wife, now a convicted felon, issued this, in which she outlined "Gary Jones’ Five Most Shameful Lies."

She wrote, "Republican Gary Jones is running for State Auditor of Oklahoma with the motto 'an auditor you can trust.' So just how much can he be trusted? I’m Lori McMahan, and I’m tired of the trash-talking, headline grabbing nonsense about my husband coming from Gary Jones and his supporters. Jeff has been advised to ignore these frantic efforts to tarnish his reputation since they’re an obvious attempt to gain traction in a race where Jones is hopelessly behind. They’ve told Jeff to remain on the positive message of his exceptional accomplishments as State Auditor. But I’m not going to sit by and let Jones drag a courageous, honest public servant through the mud with appalling lies and outlandish innuendoes. It would be almost impossible for me to respond to them all, but here are Gary’s five most shameful lies, along with the truth. Shame on you, Gary!"

[The "shameful lies" that Mrs. McMahan outlined formed the basis of the federal charges against her and her husband, and their convictions on conspiracy and bribery counts.]
