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."

Tempers Flare at Young Republicans Convention as Delegates Clash over
Amendments

BOSTON (Talon News) -- The Young Republicans convention brokedown into
shouting and some physical contact on Friday as delegates for opposing
tickets clashed over amendments being considered by the Young Republican
National Federation's (YRNF) Constitution and By-Laws Committee.

Such amendments would realign the YRNF's administrative regions tomatch
those of the RNC, easing cooperation between the twoorganizations. The
change would also provide legitimacy to the ticket of Mike Flory and
DeAnna Brangers. Currently, Brangers would beineligible to serve with
Flory as his co-chairman under the YRNF's existing regional divisions.

This has created tensions between pro-Flory delegates and the acting
Convention Chairman John Birmingham of Ohio, who is also the campaign
manager for Michael Mack, Mike Flory's opponent in the race for YRNF
chairman.

The conflict became apparent at the first convention business meeting
held on Friday morning, during which the chairman oversaw abrief reading
of the report of the Committee on Rules and moved quickly to adjourn for
lunch. As Birmingham called for adjournment, several delegates shouted
concerns that the decision to close the meeting had been made in a
manner that was inconsistent with Robert's Rules of Order, the YRNF
convention standard. They were told that their comments were out of
order, and the meeting was dissolved.
