Young Republican's party plan crashes
By Brendan Scott
Times Herald-Record
An aide to Orange County Executive Edward Diana is under fire after he
and his friends invited some of the nation's brightest Young
Republicans to what was advertised as a booze-soaked sex bash in
Boston.
The controversy surrounding Diana's 24-year-old staff assistant, Karl
Brabenec, started at the Young Republicans national convention July
11, when his friends distributed fliers "for lots of beer, liquor and
sex" at a party dubbed, "Karlpalooza '03."
Since then, copies of the incriminating invites have surfaced in
Orange County, prompting cries of disgust from women's groups, county
legislators and fellow Republicans.
The furor reached a fever pitch yesterday as Diana asked Brabenec to
step down as president of the Orange County Young Republicans, while
letting him keep his $38,789-a-year staff job.
Diana was not available for comment yesterday, but released a written
statement:
"There is no excuse for the fact that an inappropriate flier was
distributed by friends of Mr. Brabenec without his knowledge," Diana
said, in part.
"As the father of two young women, I am morally upset by the content
of the flier and expressed my outrage to Mr. Brabenec."
Diana also asked Orange County Young Republicans Recording Secretary
Jimmy Karalis, 26, to resign from his volunteer spot on the county's
Foreign Trade Zone board.
Karalis took the rap for "Karlpalooza" in a written apology to
Brabenec yesterday.
Brabenec was unavailable when visited by a Times Herald-Record
reporter at the county executive's office yesterday morning.
