IOWA GANSKE TAPE For the record, since these small media outlets tend to scrub these stories too quickly......... theiowachannel.com TheIowaChannel.com 'I Taped Ganske Campaign Meeting' Statement Released to The Media POSTED: 5:38 p.m. CDT September 25, 2002 UPDATED: 6:36 p.m. CDT September 25, 2002 DES MOINES, Iowa -- The following is a statement released to NewsChannel 8 from the law firm of Rosenberg & Stowers, representing the person who taped the Ganske campaign meeting. I have been requested to provide advice to my client with regard to his participation in the Ganske Fund Raising Event held September 3, 2002, at the Hotel Savery. My client was an invited contributor to the Ganske campaign who went for the purpose of hearing the presentation of Ken Melhman in regard to the political scene of 2002. My client was openly present and participating in such Fund Raising Event. For personal and business reasons, my client does not wish to identify himself to the media but will fully cooperate with Federal and State authorities which may have an interest in this matter. My client has requested me to provide the account of what happened: In August, I received an invitation to attend what turned out to be a Ganske Fund Raising Event featuring Ken Mehlman as a speaker. I attended the event specifically to hear Mr. Mehlman. I knew that he was a senior political adviser to the President and I was very interested in hearing what he had to say. I had no idea that Congressman Ganske would be present. I assume I received the invitation because of my relationship with the Greater Des Moines Partnership. The mailing label was identical to those I receive from the Partnership. I have previously been a contributor to Congressman Ganske's campaign. I was openly present and participating in the event. Rather than take notes of the presentation and discussions, I chose to tape-record them. Congressman Ganske arrived late and in his speech stated that, as for Senator Harkin; "You've never seen a campaign where anyone will attack him like we're going to attack him, with a smile on our face...." I was incensed by Congressman Ganske's attitude and provided the tape to a Harkin staffer. Based on this account, I have advised my client that he was not in violation of any Federal or state laws. He was invited and openly present, known to the Ganske campaign and was present for the purpose of hearing Mr. Mehlman. He was a participant in the discussions held at the Event and had a right to take notes or record the event otherwise.

"An audio tape, recorded at a Republican info-strategy-fundraiser session earlier this month, caught right-wing GOP Senate candidate Greg Ganske, in the presence of Bush senior political adviser and Karl Rove consigliere Ken Mehlman, vowing to destroy Democratic incumbent Senator Tom Harkin with a barrage of slick and vicious attack ads. "You've never seen a campaign where anyone will attack him like we're going to attack him," Ganske says on the tape -- adding, oh so innocently "with a smile on our face...." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TP, What a pity Woolfy missed the blood-curling event! It's his thing: killing Iraqis. And killing Muslims! Perhaps? Imagine the blood dripping from the Woolfy fangs! Bill Keller wrote a very good article on Woolfy in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine. W calls him Wolfie. He is Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense The article:The Sunshine Warrior By BILL KELLER September 22, 2002 nytimes.com

Rove vows to destory Senator Tom Harkin I hope Senator Harkin fights back. Recently, I saw Senator Daschle on tv. He has been attacked viciously by the Republicans, and he isn't running for re-election. Do you recall how Bush said his White House would behave in a cvil way? What a joke. Another Bush lie..........

It looks like the entire Middle East is ready to explode! Articles in this morning's paper mentioned missiles pointed towards Israel. Of course, Israel has missiles, too. Then Russia looks like it may invade Republic of Georgia. I wonder what would have happened if Bush had at least tried to force Israel and the Palestinians to reach a peace agreement when he took office. Instead, he waited 15 months while the Israelis and Palestinians continued their war which increased tensions throughout the area. Now, it may be too late to stop the third World War. Although Americans may support an invasion of Iraq, I wonder how they will feel when the Army has to start drafting their kids to fight in countries all over the Middle East. They might end up fighting in China, too. Who knows how far Bush will spread his American empire. Wooly says Bush is comfortable with visions but to accommodate Bush's vision, parents may have to send their kids to war. I don't think they have thought too much about that possibility.
