Gov. Mark Parkinson told the Hutchinson News last week that Guantanamo Bay detainees “were never coming to Kansas.” He said that he received assurance more than a month ago that Fort Leavenworth wasn’t a likely destination. A Hutch News editorial criticized Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts for “whipping up some frenzy about Gitmo detainees potentially coming to Kansas,” and for blocking Obama administration appointments over the issue. “Brownback’s and Roberts’ theater smacks of cheap, and childish, politics,” the editorial said.

A Hutch News editorial criticized Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts
Oh noes!
okay…
Pass the salt please…
The chicken little cons ate it up and scuttled in fear! Our senators know how to play their constituents like fiddles.
One of the most secure facility in the States and NIMBY brownnose whines like a little girl, rejects the stimulus, then crows about accepting it. Hypocrite seems too nice a word for him, but I’ll use it anyway.
This is a good example of how Roberts and Brownback treat their constituents. They talk down to voters like we are the unwashed peasantry, telling us tall tales and feeding us nonsense.
I am sick of it.
