Stealing Time: Obama, KCTV, JoCo GOP, Erin

By JUSTIN KENDALL

Brilliant at Breakfast is not happy with the “liberal” Wichita Eagle for attaching a photo of Barack Obama to a story on George Tiller’s pre-trial hearing. Obama isn’t a part of the Kline-Morrison-Tiller hate triangle, but he is considering repealing a global gag on overseas family planning groups, one that denies them U.S. funding if they mention the “a” word. “First Newsweek calls him the Antichrist, and now this?” Brilliant at Breakfast asks. “Has the entire journalism profession decided to join Sarah Palin in calling for Barack Obama’s extermination?”

State of the Line loves on KCTV 5’s credit card scams. Take one Asian reporter’s credit card with a photo ID on it, add a white male colleague and insert into Best Buy, Macy’s and Barnes & Noble. What do you get? A $700 spending spree. Thanks, Surae Chinn.

Kansas Republicans demand loyalty. They’re so serious about it that they pulled the voting rights of 17 elected precinct people for giving money to Democrats. The Kansas Meadowlark names the 17 and shows off a flier breaking down their crimes against the GOP that was distributed at Monday’s meeting. The ban didn’t matter much for the Monday meeting. Fifteen of the people challenged the ban, and the party allowed them to cast provisional ballots.

Erin doesn’t know the meaning of too much information. I’m glad. And at least her brother has someone to play Risk with.
