OCTOBER 3, 2000 : (TEXAS : BEN BARNES, ROBIN RATHER & SIX OTHERS SPONSOR A FUNDRAISER FOR RONNIE EARL - ROBIN RATHER IS THE DAUGHTER OF CBS NEWS' DAN RATHER) Kerry Spot reader Frank observes that on October 3, 2000, Democrat Ronnie Earle hosted a fundraiser for his race for District Attorney. The event had eight sponsors. One of them was Ben Barnes, the star of 60 Minutes II’s report on President Bush’s National Guard years.
Another one of the eight sponsors was Robin Rather, daughter of Dan Rather, an Austin-area “ passionate environmentalist and community activist” who has given $12,500 to Democratic causes in the last three election cycles, including $1,000 to John Kerry on March 15 of this year.
One wonders… by any chance, did Robin Rather introduce her father to Ben Barnes? --- "BARNES AND ANOTHER RATHER, MEETING EARLIER...," Kerry Spot/NRO, 9/12/04

Was Burkette at the fund raiser. or did they just know where to get him. He had the experience(hahaha) so he was the likely candidate to forge and fax the 'right stuff' to Dan's producer.

Looks like the gang is all there.

Ronnie Earl is DEMON SPAWN! Just ask Kay Bailey Hutchison about his political endeavors from the D.A.'s office. And several more locally focused cases in Austin. Nothing is beneath him.
