More surreal testimony in the federal court trial in Wichita about whether doctors must report sexual activity by teens to state authorities, regardless of whether it is consensual. Last week, Attorney General Phill Kline indicated that as far as reporting rules, it was probably OK for girls to perform oral sex on boys, but not the other way around. Monday, another Kline witness said that boys should be able to buy condoms but girls shouldn’t have access to birth-control pills. Then Tuesday, another witness said that it mattered whether the boy was black or white. What? Is this really a modern-day trial or a "Twilight Zone" flashback to some Southern courtroom in the 1950s?

Phillip,This witness did have some interesting ideas. She seemed to see girls/women as always being victims and unable to make choices. That seems to demean females to being less than males.
But, the most troubling thing in the article was the news that Camille Nohe, a brillant person, is working for Phill Kline. Now, that is unfortunate.
Okay. I seem to be a tad irony-impaired this days.
Anyone else care to weigh in?
Should I self-consciously correct my typo. . .NAAAH!
This whole fiasco with reporting sexual activity is quite possibly the DUMBEST thing i’ve ever heard.
What do you expect from the reactionaries? Kline has been anxious to resurrect the Inquision for years! His next project is to reinstitute burning heretics!
Kline’s No. 1 plan, which he has had from the beginning, is stopping abortion. He will do anything to make it so. The rest of this is just camel’s nose under the tent.
WTF?!?! Girls can go down on boys but boys can’t reciprocate? Boys can buy condoms, but lock up the BC pills? Ok you republicans, I want a show of hands of who voted for this crack-pot. I want to know who to laugh at. What an idiot!
Hey, come on people, this is brought to you by the same people that bring you intelligent design. And you’re surprised that this is happening?
This is a political way to justify Clinton’s knobber (I simply could not resist); bring on the blow-up dolls.
Gotta give these guys one thing to their credit: they are definitely entertaining. Comedy Central couldn’t do a better job!
Hehehe, Yeah, Walker, bring on the blow-up dolls! I don’t believe for a moment that you’re opposed to them!
Sorry, X…weren’t me! I moved here last year, didn’t vote in the election that brought this clown into office. Doubt I would have voted for him anyway..Kline is just waaaaay too far out there for me.
Well, I gotta admit that I am confused. But I have also sat in trials that the Eagle has covered. In one in particular, what was being reported wasn’t even close to what was really happening. So some of this is undoubtedly out of context.
However, it looks like Mr. Kline has a friend in Nola.

Well, welcome to our playground, Ray. I also welcome your future votes.
No sarcasm. Bush aside, I want you at the polls!
Rage,Just as long as it has your picture on it. I fill em with helium and take target practice:-)
I will agree with you: we need everybodies vote.
I reiterate my earlier post: DUMB!!!
As a female who went to third base with a boy at a fairly young age, I’m here to tell you that I enjoyed it.
Maybe instead of all these “experts,” we shoud find out how girls and women really felt who had these experiences.
Or maybe that’s just what Phill wants.
Eww… I hope he isn’t reading this and getting his jollies.
With all due respect, I think Mr. Kline’s take on sex is that only the man should deserve pleasure, while the woman should be just used as a substitute for his hand. :)
Perhaps since Mrs. Kline hates sex with Mr. Kline so much, he just assumes that all women cry and vomit after sex.
Hahaha! That’s a good one cookie!
Cookie–
I am glad you posted about “enjoying it.”
I’m not kidding when I tell you there a post-ers here who think that women don’t enjoy it, who think that it’s only “necessary” for men.
One post-er wrote awhile back, “how can you tell if a woman orgasms?”
Answer: “Who cares.”
Remember, ladies, if you want satisfaction, hook up with a liberal.
We CARE.
“Liberals Lick Carpet Better and Longer!”
ROTFLMOSAO
ProudLib,What kind of LAME-ASS pickup pitch was that!? “If you want satisfaction, Hook up with a Liberal, We care.” How cheesy is that!? You sound like you write the dialogue for pornos for a living! I laughed so hard when i read your post, that I fell off my damn chair. Man! And you expect women to BELIEVE that crap? All you care about is gettin some! So please! :)
Laugh all you want, Cruz.
I’m married.
To a very . . . uhm . . . happy woman.
I was just passing on some inside information to women because I CARE.
And why does a Christian conservative like you watch porno, anyway?
ProudLib,Touchy touchy aren’t we? I said that I was a Christian Conservative but I never said I was perfect. (gasp!) And I didn’t know the Libs had a Morality Police.
Oh and ProudLib,So you’re married? I was under the impression that you were hitting on the ladies with your oh so smooth Liberal Hook-Up line? Shall I call the Morality Police?
“Target practice”? Hehe, Walker!
Be thankful, Walker, that I kinda-sorta know you!
I am not even slighly offended.
Ooh, spell-check, folks–but “slyly” still works, dern;t it?
I think Kline grew up on Leave it to Beaver episodes. Probably he was watching them the night of his prom and maybe even on his honeymoon night.
We might imagine…..
“Phil? HOney caome to bed!”"Hang on I’ll be right there, Ward Cleaver is moralizing!”
Now I know Republicans do not get much in the way of sex. It’s dirty and bad! But do we really need some sort of Taliban judging of young women who do the deed with guys who are most likely not Republicans? Do we want them to avoid proper medical treament for fear of being branded “bad” for merely being human?

Rage,Being as I kinda sorta know you, it was not meant to offend. Besides, trying to hit it with a golfball, how much damage can I do?
The only reason Kline is taking this to Court is because he might be seen at an Adult Book Store learning about sex. In fact maybe Nola and Phil should go to an Adult store and learn what life is all about.
Joke all you want, this is really scary stuff and an incredible waste of taxpayer money. Remember anti-sodomy laws? Maybe this is an attempt to get uneforceable laws off the books. I keep hoping there is some reasonalble rationalization for this total insanity and lack of common sense.
JR,I do wish the republicans would get a little more sex; maybe it would alleviate their constant need for setting off high explosives!
Da,Yes, it is really scary stuff; that’s exactly why we joke about it! Only way to deal with that much insanity. Don’t get your hopes up about getting unenforceable laws off the books. Those are Kline’s favorite kind!
I am reminded of the 80’s cult hit film, “Nice Girls Don’t Explode”
I think Kline saw it and wants it added as a book in the Bible.

Oh…my…what have I been missing, these months away from my hometown?Surely most of Wichita will hear this testimony about this ABSURD double standard and get angry. Maybe DO something. Yes. Yes they will. I have faith. They’ll open their eyes and think “Hey, wait! I’m a Republican! Less government, that’s what I want. I forgot.” Yep, gotta have faith in my home state.
Wow, JR, you saw it twice?
