Well, well, well...Are we surprised? Bob Perry - the bucks behind the Swift Boat Liars - is listed as a
co-host for a fundraising party at the GOP convention:
Houston home builder Bob Perry, a key bankroller for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is listed as the co-host of a New York City fund-raiser next week for the Harris County GOP, whose guest list includes President Bush's top political adviser. [My note: Couldn't they just say Karl Freakin Rove?]
Mr. Perry, who has given $200,000 to the veterans' group to help launch the anti-John Kerry ads that question the Democrat's Vietnam War record, has denied any links to Mr. Bush or the national Republican Party regarding the Swift Boat Veterans' campaign.
Bill Miller, a spokesman for Mr. Perry, said that while the prolific GOP donor has given money to the local party, he was surprised to find his name on the invitation.
"He told me, 'I never approved the use of my name. I'm not going to be there,' " Mr. Miller said.
This should be, if there's any justice in the world, BIG headline news tomorrow. I also saw on DU that people are planning on demonstrating around Bob Perry's construction offices in Houston.
Good idea.
