I thought RedState readers would get a kick out of this. S. Mike Kiegerl is one of the nicest fellows in Kansas. Originally from Germany, he’s now an American citizen completing his third term in the Kansas House, representing ex-urban areas of Kansas City (Olathe, Spring Hill, and Gardner).

Need proof the mainstream press loves President Obama? Want proof the media want to “help” Republicans choose a moderate, “inoffensive” nominee whom Obama can best beat? Just listen to the media.
