Kansas Senator Caught Stuffing Pants

BY JUSTIN KENDALL

Kansas Sen. Jim Barone got caught stuffing his pants with top-secret polling data, according to the Associated Press. The incident, which has been dubbed “Trousergate,” occurred at a December 19 Democratic Party retreat when Barone allegedly tried to slip out of the meeting with his packet.

Tim Graham, Sen. Anthony Hensley’s chief of staff, caught Barone “red-handed” and asked the senator from Frontenac to return the packet.

Barone handed over the data, and later, in an e-mail, tried to explain the reason for the bulge in his pants to Graham.

“I did place the poll in the small of my back as I have done with bulky papers for 40 years,” Barone wrote, “so that I could continue to review some areas that I did not clearly understand after returning from a bathroom break.”

Eww.

The Democrats are now trying to strip Barone of his caucus chairmanship.
