The annual Statesmen's Dinner on Saturday night featured Karl Rove, former strategist for President Bush, as well as many of the state's most prominent Republicans, including former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and

members of Tennessee's congressional delegation.


Among the largest donations were $50,000 from Frist's political action committee, VolPAC, and $25,000 that U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga donated from his campaign.

This year's event stirred controversy after Hobbs told The Associated Press last week that the event, held at the Nashville Convention Center, was not open to the press.

1. It's not just the press he needs to hide from ... it's the citizenry!

People in Iowa tried to perform a "citizens' arrest" on him
recently. Hope this trend continues!
