As I noted two weeks ago, Tuesday is the day that Karl Rove slinks into town for a fundraiser in support of four Harris County Republican candidates for State House. Rove's a busy man these days, what with dodging all those subpoenas and appearing on teevee, so I guess maybe we should all feel lucky that he considered these races, plus Big Bad John's, worthy of his time and attention. Certainly, HD144's Ken Legler, who reported no cash on hand in July ought to be grateful.
If you'd like to give Rove an appropriate greeting during his "Fugitive Fundraiser Tour", you can meet up with the Sherrie Matula campaign tomorrow at their headquarters, 17300 Saturn (Suite 105), Houston, TX 77058 (map), tomorrow at 5 PM for some good old-fashioned blockwalking. Call the campaign at 281-282-1351 or email john@sherriematula.com to let them know or if you have any questions. You can also sign the HCDP petition calling on Rove to take responsibility for his actions, which will be delivered to his office at Fox News. I know, I know, not likely to have any effect on the guy, but what the heck.
Greg has more. And I see that the local GOP is kicking up a fuss about money raised by a guy involved in the John Edwards situation. Hey, all's fair in love and war, but I don't see them turning down Rove's money, and I think what he's accused of is a bit more serious than having an affair. If they want to talk about about what constitutes "tainted" money and when it should be refused or returned, I'll be more than happy to engage in that discussion.
