Rove dodges questions about Noe at Blackwell fund-raiser

[ProSense]

Snip...

A few dozen protesters outside the club used Mr. Rove’s visit to denounce the Iraq war and Mr. Bush. Democrats used it to highlight the ongoing scandal surrounding former Republican power broker Tom Noe, who pleaded guilty this summer to laundering money to Mr. Bush’s re-election campaign and who faces charges this fall of stealing millions of dollars that state officials invested in his rare coin ventures.

In a press conference preceding the event, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) challenged Mr. Rove to explain his relationship with Noe during the 2004 campaign.

“Karl Rove owes it to the people of Ohio to answer these questions,” she said.

Mr. Rove did not take media questions and never brought up Noe. He talked early and late about Mr. Blackwell, but mostly about Mr. Bush and the war on terror.

2. Never seen such a corrupt bunch of scumbags

as the Repubes in Ohio. Makes me shudder.

Even though I've crossed the pond for awhile, my vote still counts there, and it ain't being cast for BlacKKKwell -- that's for DAMN sure! Those MOFOs better send me my overseas ballot.

3. Marcy Kaptur is my rep!

She rocks! I moved recently from a repuke district into Marcy's. I hope she isn't holding her breath waiting for turdblossom to spill about Noe. Those fucks are as thick as thieves. Well, they are thieves so that makes sense.
