http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070727/NEWS01/707270361/1001Bob Awana, Gov. Linda Lingle's former chief of staff, improperly used his government e-mail to help raise money for a President Bush campaign fundraiser in Hawai'i in October 2003....
Awana, who also had served as Lingle's campaign manager, resigned last month after disclosing he was the subject of an extortion plot and was interviewed by federal investigators as part of a public corruption probe in Saipan (linked to Jack Abramoff -Ed.)
. He could not be reached for comment yesterday....
Access to political candidates at many fundraisers is based on the amount of money donors contribute. In e-mail between Awana and (Guam Gov.)
Camacho's executive assistant, Awana spelled out the protocol for the fundraiser and what the Republican governor and his guests could expect for a $10,000 table.
Awana wrote: "Attire is aloha shirt, however, Governor Camacho may want to wear a suit. I've asked the committee chair to position Governor Camacho's table in a good location given his position.
"And finally, with the $10,000 table comes a photo opportunity with the president. You are entitled to have two people from the table take one photo with the president. If Governor Camacho wants to have just himself, that's okay also."Why don't they just use one of those cardboard cutouts you see on the street in DC? It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper, and who could possibly tell the difference? :P
Oh, too bad KKKarl Rove didn't tell Bob Awana how to make sure all those emails got lost... I guess ol' Bob just wasn't high enough on the repuke food chain.
