Ooopps! Montco Version (Updated)

According to a GOP press release posted on both PAWaterCooler and Writemarsh, Sean Kilkenny, who served in the Judge Advocate Generals' Corp for four years, and is now the solicitor for (among others) the Montgomery County Controller, made a fax error. As chair of a Democratic fundraiser he sent invitations to businesses to donate to the event. Alas, one of the names on the list appears to have been Miles Brian Brian Miles. Should that name ring a bell for anyone else, that is the man who registered damskerhoeffel.com and hoeffeldamsker.com before current Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Hoeffel and his then running mate Ruth Damsker could do so (Source: "Damsker Hoeffel team wants their domain names returned," by Margaret Gibbons, Times Herald, August 8/11/07).

Miles received the fax at his employer Gambone Development Corporation where he is the human relations director. While many political donations from the Gambone family are to Republicans, the company did contribute to Michael Nutter's mayoral campaign. Joe Gambone of Gambone Development and Kilkenny did serve together on the Government Affairs committee of the Home Builders Association of Bucks / Montgomery Counties. Kilkenny is also the solicitor for Norristown where a Lil Gambone serves on the planning commission. It is very possible that Kilkenny was using an HBA list but if it had Miles Brian's Brian Miles's name on it, unless he is their designated government affairs person, it is a puzzlement.

UPDATE: Kilkenny continues to serve the country in the Army Reserves and is currently of his annual duty assignment. It would be very interesting to see the date on the fax sent to Gambone to see if Miles Brian had waited any length of time before releasing it.
