A protest organized June 1 by MoveOn, a liberal political action committee, drew about 20 people to the Michigan Avenue office of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton. Demonstrators protested Rogers’ ties to embattled House Majority Leader Tom Delay.
There was only one problem: They had the wrong Mike Rogers.
Whoops.
The group came armed with financial records from a Web site that detailed various financial contributions between the two Republicans, including a $20,000 campaign contribution from DeLay to Rogers as well as a $5,000 contribution by Rogers to DeLay’s legal defense fund.
However, the Mike Rogers involved was not the Michigan congressman, but rather Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala.
There are two hilarious parts to this story. Number one of course is the fact that they went to all this trouble to harass the wrong congressmen. The other is the fact that they could only muster up 20 losers to attend the protest - losers which included Democrat Bob Alexander who ran against the Michigan Rogers in 2004. I'm sure this will help his 2006 campaign.
