[Somehow, I really think that Clinton would approve of this fundraiser. In fact, I wonder if he had a hand in it. And, he could always make a "surprise" appearance. Maybe being driven to the event while hiding under a blanket.] From: http://www.the-times.co.uk/ Gore counts the cost of 'bunny money' party FROM IAN BRODIE IN WASHINGTON AL GORE was urged yesterday to cancel a Democratic fundraising party at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles that is seen as an affront to women, Roman Catholics and Hispanics. Mr Gore, the Vice-President and the Democrats' White House choice, has already criticised the party and will not attend, but the propriety of raising a hoped-for $3 million (£2 million) in so-called "bunny money" continues to dog him, along with questions about other Playboy donations to the Democrats. The party is planned for August 15, the second day of the Democrats' nominating convention in Los Angeles and also the Feast of the Assumption, a Catholic holy day that commemorates the taking of Mary into heaven. "To hold an event on this date at a place that celebrates the denigration of women is particularly offensive to Catholics," William Donohue, president of the Catholic League, said in an open letter to Mr Gore. The fundraiser is for a political action committee called Hispanic Unity, but, Mr Donohue said, since most Hispanics are Catholic, the Playboy gathering was sending a doubly offensive message. Although Mr Gore has objected to the venue, he has stopped short of calling for cancellation of the party. It is being organised by Loretta Sanchez, a congresswoman from California who was chosen by Mr Gore to be vice-chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Mr Gore's spokesman, Chris Lehane, said: "We're not attending, participating, supporting, condoning or giving our imprimatur in any shape, way or form." Maybe not, but in the past five years Mr Gore has taken $8,500 from Mr Hefner and his daughter, Christie Hefner, who is the chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has received $26,000 from Mr Hefner in the past four years. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
