Do you really think I was under the impression that the stated reason for their charter flight to PR was to party at the beach?
But I had no doubt the open minded would be quick to defend it as a noble action. I'm sure you'd extend the courtesy to both sides of the aisle.
I think raising money for Puerto Rico is a pretty good cause. If the GOP goes on a trip there for the same purpose, I'll avoid calling it a "party" and a "boondoggle" just because Lindsey Graham goes off by himself to get a tan for an hour or so.
