This one cracks me up.<\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., might have trouble in the upcoming Kansas Republican primary because of a residency question.<\/p>\n

It got a little worse for Roberts when he said something careless about whether he’s really a Kansas resident.<\/p>\n

He was asked about the residency controversy by a radio host. Roberts answered: \u201cEvery time I get an opponent \u2013 I mean, every time I get a chance, I\u2019m home. I don\u2019t measure my, what, my record with regards as a senator as how many times I sleep wherever it is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Questions have arisen about whether Roberts actually lives in Kansas. It’s been reported that he only rents an apartment in his “home state,” and that the apartment is a gift from campaign donors.<\/p>\n

The issue has dogged the veteran Republican lawmaker for years.<\/p>\n

Radiologist Milton Wolf is challenging Roberts in the GOP primary. He jumped all over the gaffe when he said that Roberts hasn’t lived in Kansas for a long time. He’s out of touch with his constituents, he’s part of the D.C. establishment … etc.<\/p>\n

Didn’t Dorothy tell Toto when they landed in Oz that “We’re not in Kansas anymore”?<\/p>\n

Which is it, Sen. Roberts? Kansas or Oz?<\/p>\n\n
