Blame The Internets: Kansas State Sen. Ty Masterson Denounces 'Vile' Emails And Cancels School Finance Public Meeting

It seems that politicos are increasingly employing crybaby tactics regarding the Internet discourse in order justify their political maneuvers.

Usually, political ladies with very little legislative work to their credit are guilty of playing the "babe in the woods" when it comes to blaming the Interwebs for their their stalled career. Now, a Kansas dude gets in on the act.

Take a look:

After gaveling the panel to order, he attacked the discourse surrounding the bill, saying accusations the legislation amounts to a power grab by Gov. Sam Brownback were false.

“With that, due to this misinformation and falsehood, I found this debate to be escalated to the point of irrational emotion, and I see no point in wasting the time of both the conferees or the committee,” Sen. Masterson said.

Then, in dramatic fashion, he announced the hearing on Senate Bill 311 was called off and he recessed the committee. He told reporters the bill won’t come up again this year.
