What are the chances the wave of headlines announcing Rove donors is a distraction? Politico:

Meet Bob Perry

For all the talk of undisclosed money this cycle, it's notable how little attention the Republican Party's biggest donor has gotten.

Bob Perry, a Houston homebuilder and longtime underwriter of the Texas Republican Party, George W. Bush, and a host of conservative candidates, has given at least $11 million to Republican causes: $7 million reported today to American Crossroads and $4 million to the Republican Governors Association, whose IRS filing was made public earlier this week.

But Perry hasn't had the sort of media profile recently awarded to the Koch Brothers, though he did figure as a Democratic bogeyman when he underwrote the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth attacks on John Kerry.

"Mr. Perry is really a lover of humanity and a patriot and believes quite passionately that the best thing to do to help the average American is for them to have a job," Perry spokesman Anthony Holm said. "And he believes that government plays a very significant role through taxation and job opportunity and reasonable tort reform to do that and he supports viewpoints that help each worker gain a job."

Yeah, he's a regular saint for supporting the Swift Liars, Bush and the assholes who ran this country into the ground.

On edit: They're hoping these announcements will distract from this.
