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.

Mr. Perry also does not plan to attend the convention in New York City, Mr. Miller said.

Invitations to the Harris County reception and fund-raiser Sept. 1 at Tavern on the Green name Mr. Perry as an event sponsor, and those on the invitation list include former President George Bush, presidential adviser Karl Rove and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

[mzmolly]

11. Ahhh, MMMK? See my new version of that post.

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

12. I see.

Thanks. :hi:

I sent this story to the NY Times tip desk. I'm afraid Perry is going to be "excused" from co-hosting duties before this turns into a bigger story. Have you sent this to any of the media on your list?

[mzmolly]

13. Shall I?

I certainly can, with your permission. ;)
I'm out for a while, but will check back tonight.

I've linked Fair.org's comprehsive media contact list in my sigline, and if someone doesn't beat me to it ;) I shall send away!

[BurtWorm]

14. If you can, yes.

I'll send a few more around myself.

[mzmolly]

15. Will do tonight!

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

16. I've been sending it around all afternoon.

We'll see if it gets any play.

[mzmolly]

17. Great. Let's cross the ol' fingers!

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

18. Why isn't this as big a story as the Ginsburg story?

Here is a direct link between the Bushes and the swiftboaters. This guy's money is in both pots.
