Check out our annual Weeper awards. They are designed to recognize extraordinary achievement in the area of public fiascoes, flops and foolishness. Here are a couple of the winners:
The “Great Moments in Kansas Oratory” Award — To former Kansas House speaker Doug Mays (in photo), who said that Wichita attorney Alan Rupe, who was representing schools in the state funding lawsuit, could “shove it up his a—.”
OK, so it wasn’t the Lincoln-Douglas debates. But Dick Cheney would approve.
The “Dr. Kinsey Sexual Pioneer” Award — To Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, who explained to a rapt but puzzled Wichita courtroom that he thought a boy performing oral sex on a girl is probably a sex crime worth reporting, but not a girl performing oral sex on a boy.
Teenage boys everywhere celebrated Kline’s testimony with high-fives! Right on, dude!
