Later this afternoon, Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson will name his lieutenant governor. Top secret "sources" runied the surprise -- jerks! -- and told The Kansas City Star's political blog, PrimeBuzz, that Parkinson "will name his chief of staff, Troy Findley, to be his lieutenant governor."

Uh, who?

Findley is a Democrat, a former state lawmaker from liberal Lawrence and also a former chief of staff for former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

So far, Parkinson's judgement has been, uh, more than questionable. Let's see how this one goes.

Yawn. Now maybe the Kansas Dems can get on with the business of building new leadership in the post-Sebelius world.
