Where did you hear that she was going to endorse Obama? I thought she said she would wait to endorse a candidate at least until after she delivered the Democrats’ response to the State of the Union speech?

Thanks for the link. However, that article didn’t have any inside info – just “buzz” or gossip. The Governor is famous for surprises – who saw our new AG was going to be Steve Six? We only have another couple of days before she makes her speech, and then we’ll know. The Governor will participate in the caucuses, and I would be surprised if she did so uncommitted – but she could surprise us.

Herb – You are a shining example of why Sen. Obama is doing so well.

Herb..do you have air conditioning in your cave?

signed, Taz IV, soothsayer and taxidermist.

george, It’s OK, the Democratic candidates this year aren’t worried about getting your vote as they have plenty without it.

YOU, george, have accomplished a few positive things worth noting: you’ve been the very best ambassador for the Democratic Party; you’ve made your Father’s administration look much better; and, you’ve been that uniter you said you would be. The Democratic Party is much more united than before bushco.

How embarassing! And the Gov is PROUD of her son’s creativity! LOL!

Son of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sibelius Designs Raunchy Prison-Themed Board Game

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325852,00.html

TOPEKA, Kan. — The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”

Was Sebelius son supposed to make prison look good???

Mike Huckabee’s son hanged a dog and walked into an airport with a loaded Glock. You probably think David Huckabee is a saint, and so is the man who raised him.

Republicans are such a bunch of hypocrites. You make me sick.

Made Of Dung, You defend Sebelius by attacking Huckabee.

Nice try.

Strike One.

Max, you got caught in your obvious ignorance and showed your backside even more with your response. Sucks to be you.

“A Son’s Past Deeds Come Back To Bite Huckabee”

http://www.newsweek.com/id/78241

“…David Huckabee and another youth had been involved in the hanging of a stray dog at the (Boy Scott)camp on July 11. … “Boys confessed & were fired. Dir. is making excuses, saying dog was sic & boys were putting him out of his misery.” (The director told NEWSWEEK only that a stray dog was “put down” and that the counselors were fired for violating the Scout credo to be “kind.”)”

The dog was “put down.” Kinda like what Bush and the Republicans have done to America’s working middle class. Keeping it all in the Party.

Just Don’t Drop the Soap MOD.

And that’s Strike 3 for you.

Your out!

Don’t Drop the Soap:

Son of Kan. governor creates board game

TOPEKA, Kan. – The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”

John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor’s mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.

The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.

The site describes “Don’t Drop the Soap” as a game “Where no one playing enters through the front door!”

“Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole,” the site says. “Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower Room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole.”

The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using ‘Wheelz,” muscle-flexing “Anferny” and business suit-clad “Sal ‘the Butcher.’”

Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan on his own to pay for the production of his work.

“This game is intended for mature audiences – not children – and is simply intended for entertainment,” Corcoran said.

I’m sure the Sebelius’ boy appreciates the free advertising, Max. He’s exercising his right to engage in a free market economy.

You were so thoughtful to post that so people can help out a young man by going to his website to check out his creativity.

Hanging a dog over a tree limb and carrying a loaded gun into an airport kinda low tech, Republican.

Ted Kennedy will endorse Obama tomorrow:

Obama won by 2 to 1 in South Carolina.

Watch Hillary get even more desparate now.

Oh, the mud will fly!

Excuse me, but as a Kansan I must ask; isn’t this a bit demeaning? Using the Kansas Governors mansion for hawking a board game named for a prison homosexual joke?

Not real good judgment or timing on the part of our Guv. I bet she hopes no one will ask her about it.

Did you verify the accuracy of that statement, Outlander? Max likes to be sensational in her posts and sometimes puts her own “spin” on things. I didn’t go further than skim her post so don’t know whether what she says is true or not.

Just what we need. Another dumb size six blonde in Washington.

But glockster, isn’t she pretty? Isn’t it sweet to see her and her designer clothes and great hair cut
on tv?

Sebelius, A leadership void in the Heartland

Since getting elected the Governor has:

Proposed tax increases totaling over $600 million. These tax increases included hiking state sales taxes by 8%, income taxes by 5%, and property taxes by 10%

Promised to “twist arms” to get a $0.50 per pack cigarette tax increase passed.

Imposed on Kansas the 15the highest state-local tax burden in the nation. It has risen 6% since Sebelius took office.

Increased government spending 28% since she took office, while at the same time job growth has been well behind the national average.

Failed to produce private sector jobs. Kansas now ranks 49th in its economic climate rank which “reflects job, income, and gross state product growth as well as unemployment and presence of big companies.” (www.forbes.com)

Demonstrated that only kind of jobs she knows how to create are government jobs. Kansas is third-highest state in the country in the number of government employees per capita.

Rejected the permit for a coal-fired power plant in western Kansas, solely on the grounds that coal plants produce carbon emissions. Kansas is now the only state in the country that takes the radical view that no new coal plant shall ever be built. Her decision cost the state 2,400 jobs. It also made it impossible for seven new wind farms to be built near the plant.

Chairman Kobach added, “Sebelius has the most radical and nonsensical environmentalist agenda of all the governors in America. And she evidently doesn’t care how many jobs Kansas loses.”

Additionally, since Sebelius has taken office, she has vetoed legislation that would have stopped frivolous litigation from harming businesses and driving up the cost of healthcare.

Since Sebelius took office in 2002, Kansas has dropped 9 places in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reforms state rankings.

Kansas has received a “D” by the American College of Emergency Physicians on medical liability. Governor Sebelius has stated, “Perhaps my objectivity has been seriously compromised by my trial lawyers employment, but the premise that people are too eager to use the courts seems hollow to me.” (Sebelius is the former Executive Director of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.)
