Talk about bitter - Thugs burglarize Sam Brownback's home (Recently supported Sebelius)
"Burglars made off with thousands of dollars worth of property stolen from the Topeka home of U.S. Senator Sam Brownback last week.

Shawnee County Sheriff's Sergeant Jay Simecka tells the "Topeka Capital-Journal" there's no indication the perpetrators knew whose house they were entering.

The Senator's wife Mary Brownback returned home around 1:30 p.m. Thursday to find the items missing. Officials say a computer, a television, a video game, a check book and 100-pieces of jewelry were taken.

An investigation continues."

Here's the possible "why" to that:

"It has been a rough couple of weeks for Sen. Sam Brownback.

Ever since he announced that he was supporting Kansas gov. Kathleen Sebelius' nomination to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, he has watched the Family Research Council pull out of the Values Action Team meetings he oversees and his reputation as a pro-life champion has taken a beating."

1. That sounds like a typical burglary
although most burglars don't take checkbooks. Not only is kiting checks a little more difficult unless one has an accomplice working in a store who won't ask for ID, it's also risky with all the cameras around to record transactions.

3. Fred would say this was divine retribution
Because Brownback doesn't hate gay people with sufficient ferocity. Phelps is a clanging cymbal, a whited sepulchre.
