Rove Cancels Appearance at Fundraiser for Kilgore

Rove Cancels Appearance at Fundraiser for Kilgore: "If those attending yesterday's annual Republican 'Pep Rally Breakfast' in Fairfax County did not pay much mind to the scrum of protesters outside, all they had to do was take a seat and flip open the program to see what all the ruckus was about.

Kilgore would be Karl Rove, the White House senior adviser who is embroiled in the investigation of a leak that revealed the name of a CIA operative. Tickets were hot. The press was barred."
