The George Tiller hearing this week in Wichita has been like a soap opera, complete with adultery, lovers’ fights and possible blackmail. You can get blow-by-blow updates on the testimony via Eagle crime reporter Ron Sylvester’s Twitter site.

I wonder if she was put up to the entire thing by Kline.
Grown, adult (supposedly) people with advanced degrees acting like hormonal high schoolers.

I often wonder if we ever get beyond high school. It seems to be the lab of life. What we learn/do in high school is what our life will turn out to be.

Liars versus Liars.
There are no winners here.
why is this news?
who really cares about it?
I was highly amused by Kline’s testimony under oath that he had no interest in Morrison’s sex life. What a crock! He spent his whole term as AG trying to dig into damn near everybody’s (especially teenagers) sex lives, which probably indicates that he has none of his own, and probably a lot of other things I’d rather not think about.
Kline obviously meant he didn’t care about Morrison’s sex life, per se, but only with how it could be used against him.
I also wondered if it wasn’t a set up when I read she had disagreements with Morrison about his not charging Tiller with more than a misdemeanor, and she was against late term abortions. Sounds like the affair ended about then also.
I wonder what the real relationship between Kline and Carter is? Wasn’t there some male co-worker that resigned from Kline’s office because of all this mess?
And then Operation Rescue people wonder why they cannot get Tiller convicted – it seems like everything Kline touches becomes tainted.
Phant,
“Kline obviously meant he didn’t care about Morrison’s sex life, per se, but only with how it could be used against him.”
That’s exactly why he’s interested in people’s sex lives. There may be a bit of tittilation too, but mostly he wants to control people, especially people having sex (oh, the sin of it!).
Why is Kline allowed to keep copies of Tiller’s patient’s records?
OK, what is it with the “awaiting moderation?”
No nasty words, no weird links, no excessive length . . . anyone have any idea what’s up?
And what in the hell is a “Twitter site?”
Twitter is how people keep in touch. Its more brief than facebook or myspace…more adult.
Actually Ron has his twitter blog linked to his facebook page too FYI.
Probably Kline said he had no interest in Morrison’s sex life because he had no interest in Morrison’s sex life. Is this difficult for people to understand? Kline was interested in enforcing Kansas abortion law. Kansas has laws restricting abortion. To find out if the law was followed patient records have to be examined. Tiller is doing his best to place the focus on everyone but himself. He was charge by a pro-choice attorney general with breaking Kansas abortion law. It would be wonderful if the public could finally have the truth. Tiller’s attorney’s are doing their best to keep that information from the courts and the public.
This woman, Linda Carter, for a time was a high flyer in Topeka and Olathe, wielding power between the battling Attorney Generals and having some impact on the abortion issue in Kansas.
She might have lost her husband over the deal. And Morrison almost lost his wife.
I have a feeling Linda is not doing so well now in Arkansas. Probably few good memories from her high flying days in Kansas.
Debbie-Poo,
Bull! If Kline was only interested in seeing the law enforced, why did he hand confidential patient records over to Billo? What I fail to understand is how he managed to stay out of jail over that; it should have been contempt of court at the very least!
I realize that the privacy of Dr. Tiller’s patients means less than nothing to you, but it means quite a bit them; they really don’t need to be harassed by that band of outlaw anti’s that Kline has allied himself with. Dr. Tiller is doing his job as a doctor by keeping those records confidential, and someday you may have cause to appreciate that.
Oh come on people all this talk of Kline’s interest in the sex life of teens and no one mentioned the most remember-able opinion of Kline’s. That if a boy performs oral sex on a girl it should be illegal. BUT if a girl performs oral sex on a boy is should not be illegal!.
Dawg,
Oh lord, I had completely forgotten that one! I thought it was only if a girl performed oral sex on HIM it was legal.
They probably teach that at their church ya know.
The truth is that when Tiller was shown to had reported suspicious abuse to authorities like he was supposed to the investigation should had been closed.
The privacy of patient records is a NON-ISSUE. All the patient identifying information was redacted prior to Kline receiving the records. Jed you have no proof that Kline handed any records to Bill O’Reilly. It may have come from someone within Tiller’s office for all you know.
The only thing Philllll Kline wanted was to change abortion laws to make abortion illegal. That was his only mission and he wasted all our tax monies on his lost cause. He is a thief — he stole from every Kansan!
“He is a thief — he stole from every Kansan!”
Time to string him up, who’s got a rope?
Seriously though, Phill was such a joke. Nobody took him as being credible. No one with a brain that is…
P-mom:
Seriously – what in God’s name is a “Twitter?”
Perhaps I don’t really want to know . . . .
Seriously GMC, have you been in a cave in
Afghanistan? Here is your guide to twitter:

Let’s get serious Mr. Davis, Butler County is pretty close to Afghanistan….
Let’s get serious Mr. Davis, Butler County is pretty close [ideologically] to Afghanistan….
Note: The correction above…
Since it’s apparant you know next to nothing about either Butler County nor Afghanistan, I’ll ignore the previous as expressions of the ignorance they represent.
Yes, I’ll admit I’m technologically and computer deficient. I frankly liked the world a lot better pre-computer, pre-cell phone. I am, however (as evidenced here) learning to adapt.
After reviewing “Twitter,” a second question comes to mind: why in God’s name would anyone want to do that? Why does anyone think they are so important that the world must know what they are doing or thinking at any given time?
I’ll pass, thanks.
Of course, I don’t have a Facebook page, either. And I don’t feel a bit deprived . . .
Just sleep deprived, right now. Gotta get some shut-eye. Have a good night, Steven.
“The privacy of patient records is a NON-ISSUE.”
I bet every single one of the patients would disagree with you. (a lot of us who were not patients sure do)
Debbie-Poo,
Of course it’s an issue, given that Operation Rescue was there every day
taking pictures of the cars, license plates, and patients when they could,
it wouldn’t be hard for someone who had contacts in the police dept or
the Division of Motor Vehicles to put names and addresses to those records.
So, patient privacy is certainly at risk.
It’s pretty obvious who handed those records to Billo, since they were aired
within a week of Kline getting his grubby paws on them. And, considering he STILL has copies of them, even though he’s no longer any kind of elected official, we can expect to see them violated again. Kline is a one-track idiot with a cause, and no moral compunction at all to using those records to harm women he doesn’t approve of!
pol mom, like it or not there are some of us who believe abortion is wrong and it has nothing to do what we learn in church. you,jed,linda, steven have NO idea what has transpired with kline o’reilly, tiller, morrison etc., so shut up and the the court decide., let the courts decide. and please , if you are capable (?) interject something of substance other than your bias’s.
“wichhick” –
Does your “let the courts decide” philosophy apply to the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade?
actually yes, but I don’t believe it was something that the court should have decided and I disagree with the outcome and still believe abortion is wrong. I also believe O.J. is guilty of murder.
The patient identifying information was redacted prior to Kline receiving the records. Kline doesn’t know who the patients were. You don’t know who the patients were. What is all the fuss about? Tiller created the fuss to divert everyone’s attention away from the possibility that he may have broken Kansas abortion law.
Kline is a freak, that is what all the fuss is about. I hope he goes down in flames, but he probibly won’t.
davos, you disagree with kline, and he is a freak, he disagrees with you. are you a freak?
Wichhick
No, but you maybe…but hey I dont know you. J/K.
His misuse of his postition make him a freak.
Thanks for calling.
You know, my fault, my comments have help prove that the topic is correct. THIS IS A SOPE OPERA! LOL
I will stop now.
Whoops, I type to fast…soap.
davos, so how do you know he mis-used his position? Is bill clinton a freak?
DavosRancheros: since you are calling Kline names instead of making intelligent arguments, I’ll call Tiller a doctor who greatly profits from women’s misfortunes.
You may call him whatever you wish…I could care less. Done with you two. Bye.
“The patient identifying information was redacted prior to Kline receiving the records. Kline doesn’t know who the patients were”
Not really true. Kline also obtained hotel records which could then be correlated with the medical records to provide such identification.
Why did Kline need the hotel records?
I wonder if Morrison retained his ‘hotel records’ with his liaison in Klines’s office?
