Steve Rose: “Kline is a scam artist”

“Phill Kline is a scam artist. If you idolize Phill Kline, you are a sucker.”

Well then…call me a sucker.

That’s just one excerpt from the latest Steve Rose column in the KC Community News. Rose goes on to blame Kline for a lack of education funding, for single handedly causing the Supreme Court ruling that mandated more education funding, and for deciding to prosecute Tiller and Planned Parenthood all just to bring more attention to himself and further his ego.

You know, a guy cut me off in traffic the other day…I’m pretty sure it was Phill Kline.

I’m sure Phill has no other interests but getting more twisted stories and one-sided editorials written about himself. I’m sure Phill just takes nothing but pleasure in being followed by KCTV 5 for months on end while they investigate whether or not he parked in the Johnson County Courthouse parking garage. I’m sure Phill’s family just love it when KCTV 5 almost runs them off the highway going to school in the morning. I’m sure Phill just sits back in the ‘fortified’ Johnson County Courthouse and relishes having the Star print out right lies about a judge’s ruling in the Planned Parenthood case. And then when the completely false story is picked up by the AP and broadcast across the state and nation, I’m sure in Rose’s mind Phill picks up his phone, calls his wife and says, “Guess what honey? I did it again, I got my name in the paper again!”

(See stories here, here, and the real story here.)

What planet does Steve Rose live on? Not to mention that now not only is Phill to blame for all that is wrong in prosecuting illegal abortions, but he’s also to blame for little Johnny not getting a good education? Again, what planet does Rose live on???

What’s best about this is Rose’s timing. He writes this Wednesday, just a day after it’s reported that Ohio and Texas both are investigating PP for concealing child rapists and fabricating patient records. Sound familiar???

And, he writes this a day before the Kansas AG has to backtrack in their lawsuit against a Shawnee County judge. Judge Anderson took Planned Parenthood records to an independent handwriting expert and found that the records submitted to the judge didn’t match records submitted to KDHE, a potential felony.

I’m beginning to wonder if Rose can put two and two together.

When Steve Rose thinks of Kline, I imagine he thinks of those villains in the 1920′s movies with the really long mustache that they twist around when they’re thinking of something devious to do.

I know when I think of Steve Rose, I think of those nature programs where they scare an ostrich with the truth and it puts its head in the sand.
