Karl Rove is a no-show for the C.O.R.E. event he SWORE up & down he'd

January 19, 2005 -- MONDAY a funny thing happened on the way to the CORE dinner. Honoree Karl Rove didn't show. The Hilton ballroom was jammed. Maybe 1,500 black-tied people. Everyone but the guest of honor.

A Congress of Racial Equality devotee, I attend its dinner every Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I was on the dais the night they honored Laura Bush, the night they honored Sen. Bill Frist, and the night they were to honor Karl Rove. Only he didn't show.

Oddly, when Niger, the son of CORE's right wing conservative leader Roy Innis, called to say they had Karl Rove, I actually said: "Why? I know Bush is close to you but he doesn't need you anymore. I can't understand why Rove would come."

Fade in fade out. We all confirmed for sure, for sure, for sure he was attending. And for sure, for sure, for sure it was on his schedule. Only he didn't come. The going explanation? "He's tied up with Inaugural plans." Yeah. Like Bush's brain is stenciling place cards, right? Blowing up balloons, right?

His guy already got the job. So he screwed the African American vote. Not nice.

1. He's probably tied-up with spinning Condi hearing

Don't think they expected Dems to launch such an effective effort against exposing Condi's lies!!! Ain't it great?

2. on the other hand...

any african american group that honors Laura Bush, Bill Frist and Karl Rove is rather clueless, in my book. I"d stand them up, too.

3. Uh, maybe he just forgot?

Bwaaaahahahaha!

4. Rove lie? Rove use someone for political purposes and throw them

aside when he no longer needs them?

What is the world coming to? :eyes:

5. Your CORE group appears to use very bad sense in picking honorees

Why are they picking people whose policies hurt minorities?

6. That's funny...but CORE will find a way to

excuse him for not showing up. They get too much money to act as shills for policies that hurt African Americans when they are needed to complain about anything now.

You bought it...you own it....

Good Uncle Toms don't complain...

7. Kick!
