RNC holding their annual retreat in Hawaii this year??
Yes, note the compassion for their fellow rethugs who are unemployed, perhaps hungry. I really cannot believe the chutzpah.


Cantor takes swipe at Steele over RNC's retreat in Hawaii
By Molly K. Hooper - 01/21/10 02:27 PM ET


House GOP Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) took a shot at Republican Party chairman Michael Steele Thursday for holding a GOP retreat in Hawaii.

Cantor, who has differed with Steele over Republican chances to retake the House in 2010, indicated he wasn’t crazy about the idea of RNC members relaxing on Hawaiian beaches when asked whether it was the right kind of image for the party to project.

“Chairman Steele has a role to play in these elections,” Cantor began. “Obviously, I have said that I disagree with his statement that we can't take back the House. So, do I want voters to think that Republicans do nothing but go to beach resorts in January? No.”


The Republican National Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Steele earlier this month said he did not believe Republicans could win back the House this year, but he later amended his comments.

Steele and congressional Republicans have been bickering this month, despite repeated good news for their party. Several Democrats in the House and Senate have announced their retirements, and on Tuesday the GOP won the Senate seat in Massachusetts previously held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D).

1. How much time is allocated for searching out Obama's birth certificate?
I figure much of the delegation will be birthers, after all.

3. They've discovered Hawaii. Palin was there. Limbaugh was there.
And a few years ago, I spotted Newt Gingrich having dinner on Maui. I think Obama's visits to Hawaii have given the GOP permission to enjoy the islands as well.
