FReeper REPORT: Kansas Governor asked if she will release phone records regarding Dean controversy
governor's office ^ | 5-14-07 | dfu

Posted on 05/14/2007 11:06:18 AM PDT by doug from upland

While writing this, I received a return phone call from the communications director for Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. She got back to me within five minutes of leaving the message.

Nicole Corcoran said that she was taken aback by my question. I had left the message that I am working on a freelance piece about the Sebelius/Dean/FreeRepublic/Quinn&Rose controversy. I wondered if her office would be willing to release the phone records for the time of the purported phone conversation with Dean.

Her initial comment was, "No one ever thought of that." As I pressed to see if she could get that done, she hesitated and flirted around the issue. The bottom line is that I suspect no phone records will be released. She commented that even if they were released, there would be people who wouldn't believe it and believe there was a secret backbone somewhere that wouldn't be revealed.

So, FReepers, there was the solution to solve it. If no call was made, it would seem that the Governor and Yeeeeeehaaaaaaa Howard Dean would be anxious to clear the record and press for FR and Quinn&Rose to acquiesce.

Will any of you be surprised if they refuse to release to phone records? Maybe they need time to sanitize them first.

No wonder these people are terrified of wiretapping.

The only thing that bothers me about all of this, assuming the allegation is true, is who leaked the story? I honestly don’t know that it makes much sense that someone on either end of that Democrat phone line or their cronies would want such info leaking out.

I would not be surprised if the call took place mind you! I just don’t know who would leak it and have a motive to do so.

"The accusation that I received a call from anyone, encouraging me to take on this issue following the devastating tornado in Greensburg, is one-hundred-percent false..."

This makes me think it might have been communicated to her by email.

If it was the governor’s phone, paid for by state funds, would it not be public record? On the other hand if it’s her private cell phone, I’m saying it is not public record. Either way the Dems are scrambling to change the subject now!

CONTACT WITH THE DNC

I just spoke with Dag Vega at the communications office of the DNC and asked if they would release the phone records regarding the controversy between Chairman Dean and Quinn&Rose. (I like the term “Chairman Dean.” It sounds very Mao-like.)

The reaction was, “No, because there is no controversy on our end.” He added that no one has asked for the phone records to be released.

When he was asked if someone asked, would they be released, he would not answer a hypothetical. I did get him to say, however, that it would be unlikely.

“Okay, I continued, who would have to ask for them to be released?” He didn’t know. So, I asked him if I could make the request for them to be released. Yes, I could.

So, a request will be made. If there is no controvesy, and their strong statements stand, perhaps it is time to put up or shut up. If unsanitized phone records exist to prove that the conversation never took place, it would be fair for Quinn&Rose to issue an apology.

Tick tock, tick tock. We’re waiting.

“And making up stories like this, designed to turn the tragedy at Greensburg into some kind of political circus, is a shameful affront to the citizens of Greensburg and the citizen soldiers of the National Guard”

Then why’d you do it, Governor Sebelius?

Are you saying that:

Howard Dean called Kathleen on the morning after the tornado and told her what to say and how to blame Bush and the war in Iraq.

Wow. Whoda Thunk?

Google Ping!

I had the same thought. We know how they parse words.

Maybe somebody who didn’t finish all their Kool-aid and had a small pang of guilty conscience.

Her initial comment was, "No one ever thought of that."

Another data point in my theory that many liberals are over-educated morons.

Wiggle room. I don't know that the call happened. We would like to know if it happened. What if a call was made that said to use the tornado in Kansas? If Greenburg was not the specific subject of the conversation, it is one of those "meaning of the word 'is'" things.

The accusation that I received a call from anyone,

Doug, you may want to ask if they're willing to say 'the accusation that I received *any communication* from anyone'...

So Google really has a bead on the story of:

“Howard Dean called Kathleen on the morning after the tornado and told her what to say and how to blame Bush and the war in Iraq”

Google on, brothers.
