Phill Kline just can't stay out of the limelight. His ideological crusade has always put him in front of a lot of cameras, and now he's hooked. Phill took a page out of Britney Spears' bad-comeback playbook and brought back charges against a Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park. Just a dedicated public servant doing his duty on behalf of an ever shrinking constituency? Guess again:
Attorney General Paul Morrison previously reviewed all of the allegations upon which Kline's criminal charges are based and found no wrongdoing, Morrison spokeswoman Ashley Anstaett said.
"The attorney general did a thorough review of Planned Parenthood and found no wrongdoing," Anstaett said. "We are skeptical that these charges have any merit, and we continue to wonder how much politics influenced Mr. Kline's decision to file these charges."
Kline's charges came less than four months after Morrison closed his investigation and told Planned Parenthood's attorneys that he found no wrongdoing by the clinic or its personnel.
Proof that Phill Kline will do anything to get on camera, even bring up charges that have already been dismissed by the state's leading law enforcement officer. Most people familiar with Kline aren't asking if these charges will hold up, but when they will be dismissed.
So whose comeback is better - Phill's or Britney's?
