Phil Kline probably breaks the law, definitely an asshole November 6, 2006

Phil Kline, Kansas’ hatefilled, useless, and generally despicable AG, is at it again. Many of you will remember that he fought to make Abortion clinics release their medical records so Kline could make sure they weren’t performing abortions on underage girls. At least, that’s what he said. But now it’s increasingly clear that Kline probably illegally leaked that information to Bill O’Reilly, thus combining two of the biggest assholes in America into one giant asshole.
Of course it is no surprise that Kline’s real campaign was to force his values on the rest of us, breaking the law to do so, and to punish women for believing they had the right to make medical decisions for themselves. But now that there’s no denying his real agenda–leaking private medical records to the “press” when it suits his political purposes–I hope Kansans will finally kick him to the curb.
Kansas has made great strides recently in demonstrating that voters in the Great Plains have had enough of politicians who put their agendas above their jobs. I hope they’ll continue this trend with Kline. And don’t fear for the man’s wellbeing: if he loses, I’m sure there’s a cushy job waiting for him in a right-wing “think tank.”
Vote Paul Morrison for AD tomorrow.
Strong words, Brother :)
Here is a post that agrees with the sentiment, at least:

Ya Haqq!
I am against illegally releasing any private information and it remains to be seen whether Kline engaged in this behavior. That said, are you saying that you are against his efforts to determine if abortion clinics are in violation of Kansas state law by violating the late-term abortion statute and failing to report cases of child rape?
Re values
And by what objective criteria can you disagree with Kline’s or any other person’s values? Recall that your moral relativistic world view is incapable of objectively differentiating between people like Mother Theresa and the most abominable of characters.
EB. Let’s be perfectly honest. The records sat in the District office for weeks. Lots of leakage time there. However, if they were leaked by Kline- they should not have been. The bigger jerk in my opinion is the ones that did not report crimes and now will not be prosecuted. Your rage at Kline and your pro abortion position keeps you from caring about that.
On a different note.. Haven’t heard from you in a while, and I hope you are doing well. Lots of good news to cheer you up today, eh? :)
