It seems the crackpot Seminole Senator Harry Coates has disappeared from public view since OKPNS pulled the covers off the doomed plot to repeal/alter HB 1804, the immigration reform law. His repeal effort has disappeared as well.

You may remember the capitol press corps reported Coates’ claims of “theft” of his documents as gospel, although that has since been refuted. Now OKPNS readers know that Coates lost his documents after a visit to the 4th floor head, but nobody in the 4th floor press room has done a follow up to Coates’ hysterical public crackup. Best to just pretend it didn’t happen, right guys and gals of the Fourth Estate?

So why did the so-called rich and powerful forces at the Capitol fail? We already chronicled some if it: the incompetence and mismanagement by lawmakers, lobbyists, political consultants and media types who desperately wanted HB 1804 to go down. But there was something else afoot that played perhaps the most important role.

Over the next two days, we’ll detail precisely how the so-called rich and powerful were ‘punk’d’ by the people!
