OKLAHOMA CITY (OP) –
Country music superstar Toby Keith is
asking lawmakers to deregulate the state’s drinkin’ and fightin’ industries.
The 43-year-old Oklahoma native says government oversight has stunted
the field.
“Some times you just gotta get drunk and put a boot up someone’s ass,”
said Keith.
Currently, state laws regulate the time, place and manner in which an
individual may consume alcohol. Keith says such laws prevent many from
entering the profession on a full time basis.
Furthermore, said Keith, current
anti-fighting laws discourage the use of pool cues and broken beer bottles.
Sen. Frank Shurden, D-Hanna, will carry a similar bill in the Senate,
along with an amendment that will legalize kicking city boys’ scrawny asses.
