Count on more like Kay O’Connor

Speaking of national attention, Kansans should expect less for a while. Because of the political exits of such newsmaking conservatives as Attorney General Phill Kline, state Sen. Kay O’Connor (in photo) and State Board of Education member Connie Morris, “we’re almost guaranteed we’ll have a quieter next couple of years,” Bob Beatty, a political science professor at Washburn University, told the Topeka Capital-Journal.
But be advised that O’Connor, who made her own headlines in 2001 for what she says was a false report that she didn’t support women’s suffrage, told the newspaper she wants to ready more social conservatives to run for office. “It may take two years to train up another group,” she said. “But it’s my goal to send back 10 Kays.”

    There is a story in this morning’s issue of the NY TImes about scientists sequencing the Neaderthal DNA genome. I think the task would be much easier if they just harvest Kay O’Connor’s DNA.

    Retrain new fruitloops to hide exactly how fruity they are in order to get elected. Yay Kay!

    I guess a massive defeat doesn’t seem to get through their thick skulls. Psst, maybe God is trying to tell you something.

    I fear Ms. O’Connor is being a trifle optomistic. With a triad like O’Connor, Kline and Morris as a collective “mentor emeritus”, potty training will take longer than two years. But the possibilities are interesting … a guest lecture series featuring Brownback, Phelps, and Scortino, perhaps.

    Psst Kay ! Want 10 more Kays to send back ? Can you spell C.L.O.N.I.N.G. ?

    NUT, why don’t you address the issues in the posts instead of being pm’s loudest critic?

    It’s good that she has readers though. Thanks for your support in that area.

    NUT, Kay needs you to report for social idiot training.

    Kay is a sad example of how some just don’t get it. The majority of Americans are moderate and are really weary of the far right trying to push the fundamenatlist’s agenda down their throats.

    rm6046,

    My thoughts exactly. If Kay O’Connor’s plan is to reproduce herself, I’d say going asexual is the only available option.

    Oh my God! According to a campaign website, Kay is from my neck of the woods–city of Everett, Snohomish County, Washington State.

    On behalf of the State of Washington, I would like to apologize to the State of Kansas for the fact of Kay O’Connor. Conversely, on behalf of the State of Washington, I would like to thank the State of Kansas for taking her off our hands.

    When I lived in Olathe, Kay O’Moron showed up at my door, campaigning. I put on my best deranged (not difficult for me) look and told her to get the hell off my porch. The look of terror on her face was priceless.

    I am still waiting for Phill (what the ‘L) Klline.

    I doubt if she stops anywhere that has pink triangles or rainbow flags on display.

    Kinda like vampires would NEVER go near a house that had garlic on the front porch….

    Oh, and Kay, where are all those businesses you promised would create jobs in kansas if only the hate amendment would pass?

    heheheheheheh

    Delusional AND evil

    buh-bye

    Notice how Gooftesticles only posted to me once again?

    Yes, I said massively, each of them were very soundly defeated. Kay got 14% of the vote, I’d say that’s massive.

    What political mom says is true.

    What golfball says is unimportant, and we do not consider his words.
