The Ballad of Phill Kline

This past March, Johnson County Community College featured singers and songwriters for a concert called “What Would Woody Do?” Woody being legendary American folkie Woody Guthrie. Anyway, a source passed along the above roasting of Johnson County District AttorneyPhill Kline. In it, guitarist-singer John Mitchell’s Kermit the Frog voice warbles, “He’s absolutely certain where his time should be [inaudible], not in prosecuting crime but wiping out abortion. Legal or not” and “Would not know how to prosecute a robber or a killer, but he know 50,000 ways of hounding Dr. Tiller. Because it’s God’s will.” It’s set to the tune of Petula Clark’s classic “Downtown.” Oh, and you might want to skip the two-minute introduction. — Justin Kendall
