In most states, getting records about crimes that law enforcement has investigated is easy: Make a request and the authorities turn them over.

In Kansas, it’s usually not that easy.

Dierks did not return phone calls seeking comment, but Montgomery County Attorney Larry Markle, a Republican, who advised the sheriff to release the records, agreed to an interview. County attorneys in Kansas are considered the custodian of records and often advise government officials on open-records issues.

When Markle learned about the newspaper request, Markle said he called the Brownback campaign and told them about the strip-club raid. Timothy Keck, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, then also filed a request for the records.

Markle said he called the campaign because the sheriff was going to release the records, he is a Republican, and he was helping out a Republican.

1. They are running such a stupid ad

Oh no, someone went to a strip club once. Maybe they'll open in your neighborhood soon. WHAT? So how many men have ever been to strip clubs? Or had strippers at their bachelor parties?
