“How do you spell ‘relief’ in Topeka? No more K-A-T-H-L-E-E-N,” wrote Kansas City Star columnist Steve Kraske. He noted how relieved many GOP lawmakers are to have former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius now in Washington, D.C. Though Sebelius has a national reputation for being bipartisan, Sebelius doesn’t have much of a record in Kansas for proposing a major initiative, garnering true bipartisan support and building public support to pass it, the lawmakers contend.
But Star columnist Mike Hendricks suggested that the reason GOP lawmakers may be happy is that new Gov. Mark Parkinson is a sellout. Hendricks argued that the Parkinson agreement this week to support a coal plant signaled to the GOP that “he’s only too happy to turn over the governor’s mansion two years ahead of schedule.”

She was better looking to watch. I liked her blue hair.
Now the national stage gets to experience the damage ‘old gray mare’ can cause.
It’s grey? Looks pretty blue to me.
Replacement Kansas Governor, Mark Parkinson, flip flopped on the issue of building the massive coal powered electric plant (one 895 megawatt plant in place of two 700 megawatt plants) and saying this compromise will bring peace in our time to Kansas.
Reminds me of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain saying he had brought “peace in our time” after his agreement with Hitler … and not long before the outbreak of the world changing World War II.
This plant is NOT what is needed to preserve life in Kansas as we know it now. Massive air pollution and gulping humongous quantities of drinking water from our declining Ogallala aquifer will be the twin by-products.

True.
Hey Regular, what kind of television do you have?
Have you adjusted the colors?
It may have something to do with the room. We have our 55 inch TV in a room that is light in color, but the wife has the fireplace all decked out in some sort of matching blue.
Maybe that’s it.
I think the gov. may be a double agent.
It does feel ‘cleaner’ living here now that she out.

Usually only see pics of the ‘old gray mare’ in newspapers or on the Web.
Not much of a TV watcher…
Parkinson got more than the one plant that Sebelius had already agreed to. He got another wind farm, more transmission lines and 20% of all energy to be from renewable energy sources.
Never trust a con, they’re always in it for themselves. And his first order of business was to p off the dems. Yup, good going.
GOP relieved that Sebelius is gone
=============================================
Who? Who’s that?
What a bunch of small minded little neocons we have here. Sebelius was no more a liberal than was Gov. Graves. Kansas as backward as you think.
EVERYONE should be relieved the Ohio carpetbagger is gone. $ebeliu$ has ruined Kansas with her hard left views for decades to come. Tiller the Killer’s blood money bought and paid for $ebeliu$ and her reign of terror. Pure and simple.
I’M PROUD TO BE A CON, Political_Mama. I’d rather be a CON than a socialist utopian like you are and your hero the Messiah is.
