An RNC internal memo says the Feb. 4 outing to Voyeur West Hollywood involved several members of the "Young Eagles" GOP group who had been in Los Angeles for a meeting. An unnamed staffer, who had been warned that such activities did not qualify for reimbursement, has been fired, said the memo from RNC lawyer Ken McKay.

The club features topless dancers and bondage outfits.

RNC Blackwater event is on

Spokesmen for the Republican National Committee and for Xe Services, the embattled military contractor formerly known as Blackwater, denied to me last month that the party had any plans to host a donor retreat at Xe's U.S. Training Center in North Carolina.

Today, however, spokesmen for both said the event -- which appeared in a calendar in the leaked RNC fundraising presentation -- is on.

RNC Communications Director Doug Heye said the event was arranged after the leak of the document, which treated it only as a suggestion. The party's "Young Eagle" donors will gather April 22 at the facility in Moyock, N.C., which provides weapons and military training to soldiers, police, and vacationers alike.

Who are the Young Eagles? Anyone under the age of 45 willing to give thousands of dollars to the RNC, or get friends to raise tens of thousands of dollars on his or her behalf in exchange for a "complimentary one-year membership." Those dues increase dramatically over time, too. So, you know, pretty much a wash, right?

1. You Know Some Enterprising Young News Organization Should Fund An Undercover......

journalist to become a member of the Young Eagles. Then report back on what is all included in this "complimentary one-year membership". It might be a real interesting and telling endeavor.

2. They're out of touch with their own party. This will lose them a LOT of military support. nt

4. I'm willing to bet a fat frikkin Sack of Doughnuts

That the Young 'Eagles' are all in reality Young Chickenhawks, who have never served America for even 5 minutes.

Chickenhawkery is all we ever get from Republicons. Why would these 'Family Value' rebublicon sex punks be any different?

5. So let me see if I understand this.. Blackwater

who has been accused of so many things, the most recent being taking hundreds of weapons from an Afghanistan stockpile slated for the Afghan police and signing them out under the name Eric Cartman is still in business with the US government. :eyes:
