Former Ks AG Carla Stovall slams AG Kline

The Johnson County Sun:

"Carla Stovall Steckline, Republican attorney general from 1995 to 2003, endorsed Morrison emphatically last week while taking Kline to the woodshed.

'I have known Paul Morrison for 20 years and he is the kind of lawyer that even people who like to bash lawyers must admit to respecting,' Steckline said at a press conference on Friday. 'He's a career prosecutor with a stellar record of nearly 100 convictions in tough cases.'

Steckline's support for Morrison included bashing Kline:

* 'I am confident Paul will not knowingly and intentionally violate the privacy rights of Kansans in an attempt to push a narrow, personal agenda,' a slam at Kline over his decision to seek abortion records in what he calls an effort to combat child abuse;

* 'I am confident Paul will not hire an attorney with 12 arrests and $60,000 in outstanding court costs and fines as the deputy of an important division in the office,' a slam at Kline for hiring Bryan Brown, whose arrests relate to abortion protests; and

* 'I am confident Paul will not skirt the state nepotism law and hire his nephew, who has a suspended driver's license, to be his driver,' a slam at Kline for hiring his nephew as a chauffeur."
