Last Monday, Phill Kline testified at George Tiller's pretrial hearing. But "a scheduling conflict cut off questioning," the Associated Press reported.
Apparently, Kline had somewhere better to be: at a speaking engagement in Richmond, Virginia. The Family Foundation of Virginia was throwing a party Thursday night, and it just isn't a party unless Phill Kline shows up to talk about abortion.
Anyway, sounds like Kline gave his usual passionate but repetitive speech with lots of calls for "true leadership" and fighting "for enduring truth" despite "political consequences" because the "rule of law in our nation" is broken and people have rejected a "fundamental truth." It's a long way of saying abortion is bad. There was also probably a reference to Kansas' soil being stained red with the blood of the unborn, which sounds more like Slayer than Kline.
Kline also played the victim of "the media, the elites and the political establishment."
But I'm probably just grouchy. Tiller's hearing was just getting good and Kline was supposed to testify again this week -- along with Paul Morrison -- but the hearing was postponed until January 6. Damn.

"Thursday night more than 600 pro-family Virginians attended The Family Foundation of Virginia's Annual Gala to hear a dynamic address by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline," the Family Foundation's blog says. "He did not disappoint."
No word on how many anti-family Virginians also attended.Anyway, sounds like Kline gave his usual passionate but repetitive speech with lots of calls for "true leadership" and fighting "for enduring truth" despite "political consequences" because the "rule of law in our nation" is broken and people have rejected a "fundamental truth."

"They stole my name," Kline told the crowd. "They destroyed my reputation."
Which is debatable.But I'm probably just grouchy. Tiller's hearing was just getting good and Kline was supposed to testify again this week -- along with Paul Morrison -- but the hearing was postponed until January 6. Damn.
