WASHINGTON -- A conservative Texas Republican won't be holding a fund-raiser at the Rolling Stones concert in Washington this fall after all, his spokesman said Thursday.Rep. Michael McCaul's "family came first," Jack Hirschfield said a day after he was asked about McCaul's participation in the Oct. 3 event.

The Stones' upcoming album includes a number that makes many supporters of President George W. Bush cringe. It's titled "Sweet Neo Con," and it begins: "You ride around your white castle, on your little white horse/You lie to your people, and blame it on your war, of course."

The Stones concert was to have been a joint event for McCaul and Rep. Kevin Brady, another Republican from the president's home state. Late Thursday, the fund-raiser's organizer, Nancy Bocskor, confirmed that the event would go ahead just for Brady. She bought 40 tickets, which she planned to sell for $2,000 each.

The Wall Street Journal, in an article this month, included the McCaul-Brady event among several awkward encounters between liberal performers and conservative politicians seeking to raise money.

1. Is the GOP getting more and more desperate to raise cash?

Are their donors drying up in the wake of scandal after scandal after scandal after....?

2. And The Stones zetzed Ahnold this week, too

He held a fund raiser at the Stones concert in NYC, and the customarily astute Mr. Jagger made a number of trenchant remarks about the Governor. "Sweet Neo Con" was also doubtless played.

We have entered the phase of Republikanerdammerung -- the Twilight of the Republicans.
