‘Gee, thanks, but I have to wash my hair’ — Governors skip Perry prayer rally

*snip*

"Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas had planned to come, and Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana said he might swing by. But gay rights groups in Kansas made quite a stir by pointing out that the American Family Association (AFA), one of the groups organizing the event, is vociferously anti-gay. The AFA has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Suddenly Brownback says he plans to be on vacation, and Jindal isn’t talking about the event any more."

another in the WSJ

I don't know about the "groups" comment in the first article but I do know that KEC has been raking him over the coals for a solid month and getting press coverage. He is probably going anyway but he has been forced now not to brag about it anymore and do it quietly under cover.

Personally I think for us here in Kansas this is a huge accomplishment and I am proud to be one of those people fighting this creep. Rally Saturday for our first amendment rights. I wonder how many troopers per person they have scheduled for this one?

2. Well as it goes...
if he goes we have tons of ammo and if he does not we take the credit and our organization becomes stronger either way. (as per our chair) We are in a good spot with this.
