Kansas senator refuses to say how often he's in Kansas


Kansas senator refuses to say how often he's in Kansas

Someone should tell Sen. Pat Roberts that it's less painful to rip the Band-Aid off quickly. The media is locked on the question of how much time the Kansas Republican has spent in the state he represents over the past few years, and rather than getting it over with, Roberts is drawing it out.

Late last week, it emerged that when Roberts is in his "home" state, he stays with a donor to whom he pays $300 a month for the privilege; as David Nir put it, Roberts' Kansas residence is "a timeshare in a La-Z-Boy." But how often is he cashing in those recliner privileges? Roberts isn't saying, Byron York (I know) reports:

After the Times piece came out, I posed that question to Roberts' spokeswoman in Washington and his campaign manager in Kansas. Roberts has schedules and records.....
