Better yet, can we just buy the records from some unscrupulous cell company?

Good job Doug! Although, it would seem to be a House investigation with the governor and Dean under oath seems to be in order. That IS the way dems sort this kind of thing ooout—isn’t it?

I doubt you're going to get anything from Sebelius or the DNC, but the original story says that she called Brownback's office and spilled the beans to someone there. Has anyone gotten any sort of confirmation from the Senator or his staff that she called and what she said? If she did wouldn't there be phone records of that and might not the Senator be more forthcoming than the governor or Dean? Maybe an FOI request in that direction might be in order?

THIS SONG ALMOST WROTE ITSELF

Quinn and Rose had said you called up the gov
For the GOP, you weren’t spreading love
When the tornado had hit...did you take advantage of it
You chomped at the bit...release the records...your phone records

If you really have nothing to hide...why don’t you just let people decide
When the tornado had hit...did you take advantage of it
You chomped at the bit...release the records...your phone records

Time after time I’d like to electro-shock you
I cannot do that, so I guess in song I’ll mock you

Howard Dean, are you, nuts as you seem
Let us hear again that great insane scream
When the tornado had hit...did you take advantage of it
You chomped at the bit...release the records...your phone records

She’s not going to stop lying and suddenly confess. She’s a RAT carpetbagger hack picked by the RAT politbureau for the job.

I think a Grand Jury should be called with lots of subpoenas issued to all of the RATS involved. Catching one or more of them lying should be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Subject: phone records for Dean/Sebelius/Quinn&Rose controversy

Sir: I am working on a freelance piece regarding the controversy over whether a certain conversation occured between Chairman Howard Dean and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. It purportedly occured at approximately 5am (I don’t know the time zone) on or about May 10, 2007.

Pursuant to the information on the Quinn and Rose radio program, the talk show hosts suggested that they have a source claiming that Dean encouraged Sebelius to use the recent Kansas tornado for political purposes.

Pursuant to my conversation with Dag Vega, I am making a request to have phone records made available to the press. The records must be certified by the phone company. Since the time zone for the time in question is unknown, please see that a several hour window if made available. In particular, it is important for the press to see any calls made by the staff of the DNC or by Chairman Dean himself to the area code 785 in Topeka, Kansas.

If you willingly provide such records for the press, you will be able to end the controversy. In the face of such evidence, Quinn and Rose would have no choice but to issue a retraction and apology. Certainly, you would welcome such a speedy conclusion. We know that the DNC would never want to exploit people’s heartache and tragedy for your own political purposes.

Thank you for your consideration.

...Doug

I’ll check in later, gang. Unfortunately, I have to attend a funeral today.

I would much rather be attending the funeral of the Democratic Party. Let’s hope we all live to see that glorious day.

No willingness yet for the governor or the evil DNC to open the phone records. Could that be because the phone records would not exonerate them?

Dean Visits Kansas, Gets Snubbed By Dem Governor
Howard Dean fulfilled a pledge made during his campaign for the DNC chair by visiting and rallying Democrats in a Midwestern red state. Dean went to Kansas yesterday, a state that has supported GOP presidential candidates since Goldwater in 1964, and railed against Social Security reforms and budget deficits. He also urged Democrats to “show up”, inadvertently highlighting an embarassing snub:

The former presidential candidate and Vermont governor criticized President Bush’s budget record and plans for Social Security while urging people to get involved in politics no matter what their philosophy. ...
Before his selection as DNC chairman this month, Dean said he would bolster local and state party organizations even in the nation’s most conservative areas.

“How do we expect those places to vote Democratic when we don’t even show up?” Dean said during Thursday’s speech.

Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who was elected in a 2002 race marked by tensions between moderate and conservative Republicans, hadn’t planned to attend any of Dean’s events.

So the highest-ranking Democrat in Kansas has no plans to be seen in public with the leader of her party? That certainly sends a message, and not the one Dean intended when he embarked on his red-state tour. Sebelius knows that any indication of support for Dean and his MoveOn-sponsored agenda would be the kiss of death for her political career in Kansas and wants to stay far away from Mad How.

If the Democrats seriously want to engage the moderates, they picked the wrong man to lead them. No one doubts that leftists and radicals live in places like Kansas, but no one except Howard Dean thinks they can win elections for the Democrats. Sebelius obviously has better political instincts for the heartland than the DNC, and she’s using them to avoid Dean. Democrats hanging onto office in other red states will follow the lead of Sebelius and wind up making a mockery of Dean’s tour throughout red-state America.

Dean has it wrong: it isn’t enough to simply show up. You have to have a platform that appeals to moderates, and Dean and MoveOn don’t have it. Sebelius knows this and knows that sometimes, showing up is too much to ask.

You will like this one from the Democrats own Site, sponsored by Howard Dean. They cannot stop lying. It is in their nature:

(PS. I subscribed to their site, because as the motto goes, Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.)

The letter the sent to me is as follows:

Hurricane season doesn’t start until June 1st, and we’re already in trouble.

Tornadoes in Kansas. Fires in California, Georgia and Florida. Floods in Missouri. We simply don’t have the resources to handle catastrophic events across our country.

Those resources are missing because of the war in Iraq.

Tell President Bush: bring our troops and equipment back where they’re needed most — here at home.

http://www.democrats.org/ProtectOurStates

When the category five tornado hit Greensburg, Kansas, approximately 60 percent of its National Guard equipment was gone because of the war. In a town that was 95 percent destroyed, the relief process has been hindered by lack of equipment, and Kansas is even more vulnerable if another disaster strikes.

And Kansas isn’t the only state feeling the pinch. Even Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees that the troops are stretched thin.

In California, where more than $1 billion of military inventory is gone, the governor said that “a lot of equipment has gone to Iraq, and it doesn’t come back when the troops come back.”

President Bush has a choice: to continue wasting our country’s resources on a war we cannot win, or to bring our troops and equipment back home to a country that needs it.

Tell President Bush to make the right choice:

http://www.democrats.org/ProtectOurStates

It’s not just a matter of tents and Humvees — we need our troops home too.

Approximately 80 percent of our country’s National Guard and Reservists have been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. They’ve spent an average of 18 months per tour of duty, and more than 84,000 of them have been deployed more than once.

U.S. Air Force Major General Melvyn S. Montano (Ret.) said it best:

Homeland security begins with hometown security and we have a responsibility to rebuild our National Guard and make sure they have the equipment and training they need to keep our communities safe.

It is time for President Bush to listen to the American people and finally acknowledge the facts on the ground — both in Iraq and here at home. Now that more and more Republican lawmakers are beginning to see that the stay-the-course approach in Iraq is unsustainable, it is time for the President to finally work in a bipartisan fashion to change course.

Protect our states. End the war:

http://www.democrats.org/ProtectOurStates

Sincerely,

Tom McMahon
