-Caveat Lector- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/abc/20010604/pl/chuys010604_1.html Monday June 04 04:39 PM EDT Chuy's Owner No Enemy of GOP By ABCNEWS.com GOP conspiracy theorists said a liberal owner was to blame for President Bush's daughters being cited in an Austin restaurant. But the owner of this place happens to be a loyal GOP donor. After a restaurant manager decided to call police on President Bush's twin daughters, resulting in underage drinking charges and a media frenzy, some in the GOP smelled a rat. Senior Republicans intimated to reporters that Chuy's, the restaurant in Austin, Texas, where Jenna and Barbara Bush allegedly were trying to drink, "is owned and operated by liberals." After all, the restaurant had called 911 and even some reporters to inform them of the situation. But while the owner of Chuy's is certainly a partisan, he's no liberal. Chuy's President Contributed to GOP Candidates In fact, Michael Young, co-founder and president of Central Texas Chuy's Inc., has shared more than $11,000 with Republican Senate candidates since 1998. Young, who has steadfastly refused to talk to the media about the Bush matter, describes himself as a "free-market capitalist." "Anyone who knows me wouldn't say that I'm a liberal," Young said. Perhaps the senior Republicans were thinking of John Zapp, another senior officer of Chuy's Inc. Federal Election Commission records show Zapp gave $1,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Zapp helped Young found Chuy's in 1982. The pair turned a broken-down Austin barbecue joint into a successful Tex-Mex chain with locations in Texas' largest cities. Paul Brady, listed in state documents as vice president of Chuy's, has no contributions on file with the FEC.
