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.
