Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison announced his resignation this month after admitting to having an extramarital affair with a subordinate and colleague. The details that have been exposed by Linda Carter, the accuser, are juicy enough to have a pretty decent script for a made-for-TV drama. General Morrison's resignation will be effective at the end of January 2008, one year after being sworn into office.
Morrison gained popularity in Kansas by leaving the GOP for the State's Democratic Party and being elected to office after challenging the incumbent Attorney General Phil Kline (Republican). Although Morrison admitted to having the affair, he has denied allegations made by the accuser which are detailed in a sexual harassment complaint filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Despite Morrison's resignation, this drama will continue well into the New Year. For the 411 on this latest scandal, you should read the Topeka Capital Journal article from the 12/16/2007.
