Ralph Reed: A no-show at McCain fundraiser.


Thinkprogress:

Last week, news broke that Ralph Reed, former Christian Coalition director and crony of Jack Abramoff, would be helping to raise money for Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) fundraiser in Atlanta. Reed “touted himself as a member of McCain’s ‘Victory 2008 Team’ in an e-mail that solicited donations on McCain’s behalf,” and public watchdog organizations called on McCain to denounce Reed. The Wall Street Journal now reports that Reed was a no-show at tonight’s Atlanta fundraiser:

On Monday evening, there was no sign of Reed at the Marriott Marquis here and no mention of him by McCain during his remarks. A campaign spokesperson confirmed that Reed would not be in attendance but declined to say whether the campaign had asked him to keep his distance.

Bummer... ;-)

No show Reed makes since. Waxman would have been all over that one. Now you notice the head GOP KKK K Street criminal isn't in the club anymore now that he's married to a Pakistan woman. Yes our lead criminal brain Grover Norquist was kicked out because he married a woman of color. Poor Grover couldn't fine a US girlfriend even with the millions he stole from taxpayers. So he found a young Pakistan woman who wanted a US Citizenship and was willing to marry for it. Grover had to put the Klans robes away and turn in his Klans membership card. Now Grover might have to live in Pakistan now, at least Musharraf is gone.
