Cut the conspiracy bullshit folks. Monk simply isn't getting in because not enough of the committee members think he deserves it or have their own agenda. It's as simple as that.
p.s. Len "Fat F*ck" Pasquarelli is on there and you know that bastard is a hatter.

It has been reported that King does in fact have a significant amunt of sway in the room. The way the process works is that the final 15 players are each presented and for the first few years of Monks eligibility the biggest voice of dissent was King. essentially he got up every time and railed until he got enough people to agree. Something tells me that almost any player could be kept out if one respected person made a strong and passionate enough argument to do so. Now he has brainwashed enough people that he no longer needs to rail every year. The process is screwy.
