Conservative Womens Group Rips RNC: 'Did you really swill drinks-ogle young girls & plan business?'
Conservative Women’s Group Rips RNC Over Bondage-Themed Nightclub

The latest: A conservative women’s advocacy organization — one whose members donate to the RNC — is demanding answers. Penny Nance, the CEO of Concerned Women for America, which boasts half a million members nationwide, emails:

“Did they really agree to reimburse nearly $2,000 for a bondage-themed night club? We have several questions. For the RNC: Why would a staffer believe that this is acceptable, and has this kind of thing been approved in the past? And for the Democratic National Committee: Do you believe that it is appropriate to use tax dollars for pornographic exhibits like the ones recently funded by the stimulus bill?

“Please explain to Republican and Democratic women if and why you think it is appropriate to promote pornographic enterprises? As women we find the very idea of officials from either party approving of endeavors that objectify and demean women outrageous. This kind of behavior is not appropriate for national leaders that our children should be able to look up to as role models, and that our daughters could be working for.

“Did you really swill drinks, ogle young girls and plan party business at this kind of establishment? Please explain!”

1. At long last, they found something appropriate for their "concern."
They've finally discovered that women are just a sideshow to the powerful males who run things.

One hopes this would be a wakeup call to some of those people, but it probably won't be.

5. Why did they drag the Democrats into their mess?
Democratic women are capable of speaking for ourselves. And we don't define "porn" the same way, I think.
