...office, urges guests to check out the swanky new Oya restaurant, known for its $15 rum cocktails and red crocodile bar top. The host of the upcoming event, according to an e-mail obtained by TIME, is a lobbying firm co-founded by Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman's brother and Senate majority leader Bill Frist's former chief counsel. FedEx has thrown a similar shindig, as has the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Attendees get to mingle below the radar at the publicity- free events, which are billed at less than $50 a head to comply with Senate ethics...

Congressional Democrats have said they are unwilling to settle for anything less than an outside panel, but White House officials said they do not intend to give in, and will portray Democrats as politicking if they do not accept a bipartisan panel proposed by Republican congressional leaders.

But in addition there was John Kerry, promoting a Fire Rove petition on his website. There was Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman declaring that it was not Plame or Wilson but Rove who was the victim of "blatant partisan political attacks." There was White House spokesman Scott McClellan, who had once called the notion that Rove was involved "ridiculous," looking like a piņata as he refused again and again in long...
...second term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Florida Governor Jeb Bush has made several recruiting calls to Bense, who headed to Washington last week where he was serenaded by a powerful trio--the President's top political adviser Karl Rove, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman and Elizabeth Dole, who heads the Senate committee for recruiting G.O.P. candidates...
