RNC Fires "Young Eagles" Director

The RNC has fired the director of its young donors program after she approved an expense for a risque L.A. nightclub, multiple sources tell Hotline OnCall.

Allison Meyers, director of the RNC's "Young Eagles" program, was terminated yesterday after reports that the RNC reimbursed a donor for a nearly $2K expense at the Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood.

A CA GOP consultant, Erik Brown, was reimbursed for the expense after a Young Eagles event in Beverly Hills. A CA blog reported that an RNC staffer's credit card was declined at the club, so Brown grudgingly put the expense on his own card.

RNC spokesman Doug Heye refused to discuss any individual staffers, or to confirm that Meyers was fired.

But several sources said Meyers both organized the Jan. 31 fundraiser at the Beverly Hills Hilton and attended the after-party at the nightclub. The fundraiser was held for the group of donors Meyers was responsible for, a group that solicits contributions from donors under 45 years old.

In an email to RNC staffers sent yesterday and obtained by Hotline OnCall, RNC executive director Ken McKay told his employees the committee had fired the staffer responsible following an internal investigation.

"Our investigation has determined that following a Young Eagles event in Los Angeles, a group of individuals did attend such a club on their own. This was not an RNC sanctioned event and was not associated in any way with any RNC official event," McKay wrote. "Subsequently, a request for reimbursement to the private individual was submitted by a RNC staff person. That person was aware that this activity was not eligible for reimbursement and had been previously counseled on this very subject. Accordingly, that staff person has been terminated."

McKay did not mention Meyers' name. At the time the event was taking place, Steele was on a plane from HI, returning home after the RNC's winter meeting in Honolulu.

Young Eagles participants are invited to attend several 2-day meetings each year, including an annual meeting in DC. They are also invited to participate on conference calls with senior RNC staff and to join fellow big donors at regional meetings, according to a fact sheet first posted by The Huffington Post (pdf).

I would like to meet Allison Meyers. Sounds like she knows how to get potential donors excited about their cause. Who says it's boring to be a Republican!

Sin is boring, repetitive and not creative. Same old same old degrading experiences. Allison Meyers may not be the culprit. Erik should move his dynamic office out of WA DC, and be FIRED FOR HIS LACK OF JUDGMENT IN ATTENDING THIS EVENT. The rich Erik is in cahoots with pornography locations and joins right in to 'OBSERVE' THIS DEPRAVITY.

SHAME ON MICHEAL STEELE'S BUDGET PROTECTIONS...SPENDING CONTRIBUTIONS 'WILDLY' DOES NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE. LET'S FIRE STEELE...AND PROVIDE ALLISON WITH SOME DECENT REPUBLICAN MENTORS...OR INTRODUCE HER TO ANOTHER PARTY THAT WON'T SEDUCE HER MORALS. SHAMEFUL.

Young Eagles need a healthier environment and some decent mentors who don't meet with the pornography for lunch bunch. FIRE STEELE AND WE MAY BE GETTING SOME PLACE, GOP!

How do you meet Allison? She sounds like a lot of fun! A great person to hang out with and PAR-TAY!! Go ALLISON! I know some other pretty hot clubs in LA - Let's HANG!

> Sin is boring, repetitive and not creative.

You aren't doing it right!

I have to disagree with D on this line:

"Sin is boring, repetitive and not creative."

It is only if you want it to be-- like anything else; you just need to use your imagination. Eg, there are 12,098 ways to use three 36" leather bondage straps on a person such that circulation is maintained and full stimulation in every sense can be attained. The number increases geometrically as the number of straps used is increased.

Of course after awhile there is a diminishing return and you eventually get into smothering rather than bondage, which is arguably a different area of kink. But you get the idea.

I hope this has been of some use to you and see you at the next meeting! ;)

Sin is boring, repetitive and not creative.

Tell that to the guy with TWO wetsuits and a dildo...

What do they call the group of old donors, the Bald Eagles?

I agree with jrc, sounds like Allison would make a solid wingman in Hollywood. It sucks that they threw her under the bus!

Hey RNC if it's humiliation and whipping I'm sure we can come to an amicable agreement.

Hell I'll pay you!
Just name the time & place.

48.5% of America.

"tow wetsuits and a dildo" isn't that a song by Beck?

Hmmm, that Voyeur place sounds enticing. Gonna make a trip there and see if my company will pay for it. Meyers almost got away and I'm gonna take that chance with my company !.

Fire a young low level staffer? Sounds like the old men at the top are looking for scapegoats.

I'm betting Allison gets a nice severance package and finds a home real quick in one of the RNC's myriad astroturf orgs or thinktanks. She took one for the team. A gal like that is too valuable with her people person skills- smoozing the donors, etc.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. And Erik, if you're reading this...you need to update your business cards...wait for it:

"What can Brown do you You?"

Only a month ago, the leaked Lee Atwater-styled powerpoint presentation... Yesterday, busted for partying with RNC money at a bondage club.

These are the Reagan-babies: rich, deceitful, self-indulgent brats.

Unless this cleaning house, clears their calendar, the RNC's Young Eagles are planning to hold an April fundraiser at Blackwater (Xe) headquarters in Moyock, North Carolina. Something about these snakey political playboys hanging out with the worlds largest mercenary army seems entirely too Fascist.

Does no one remember The lear jets Pelosi had on order? or the amount of money the dems spent taking their families to Denmark? or the crap that was going on in Barney Franks house, that he claims he new nothing about? It goes both ways, the only difference is how much media covers repub screw ups over the dems.

D:Young Eagles need a healthier environment....
Who? Mark Foley ,Larry Craig the list is endless.

Chris, perhaps you can provide links?
I doubt you can provide much.
For example, Pelosi had no Lear jet on order.
The earliest web-mention about Pelosi and Lear jets was this below, where a GOP speaker began flying them and future speakers and cabinet members continued when flying into war zones...

Nancy Pelosi's Travel Scrutinized

Rep. Nancy Pelosi's predecessor as House speaker, Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL), began flying military planes for official travel in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Air Force has a stable of planes that are used for travel by the speaker, Cabinet members, top generals and for congressional trips to Iraq and other war zones.

Those planes include:

The C-21, the military version of the eight-seater Lear Jet. Its maximum range is 2,306 miles. Each plane cost $3.1 million.

It's just that the Republican half of the Republicrats are hypocrites and the Democratic half embrace this stuff. It doesn't really matter whether you drink too much beer or too much scotch, you're still drunk.

Ahhh- that gun toting, flag waving, gay bashing, threat mongering, wire tapping, and now "orgy loving", yet self-righteous family values party. I think it may finally be time for some introspection and self-questioning.

Is this really what qualifies as news? WHO CARES. Someone spent expenses in an unauthorized fashion and was fired. WHO CARES. This isn't newsworthy. It is just another way to drag the Republicans onto the front page in a negative light.

Why does the GOP continue to pretend they
have the moral high ground????
They are Drug Addicts, Sex Addicts and
Corrupt just like the rest of humanity

The number of fools they can hoodwink keeps
shrinking....

Someone spent expenses in an unauthorized fashion and was fired. WHO CARES.

I do! If Allison is picking up the tab at the lesbo bar, I want in!

Focus people. The good news for us Boomers is that this describes the "Young Eagles."

"The fundraiser was held for the group of donors Meyers was responsible for, a group that solicits contributions from donors under 45 years old."

You're still young if you're under forty-five!!!!! At least in Republican reality. If that's not enough reason to join the Republican Party after you're thirty-nine, I don't know what is. So you must be middle-aged at least until you're seventy-five. In Republican reality. Of course Republican reality also requires that Barack and Michelle Obama be seen as Communistic Socialistic Liberal Fascists with no other goal than making America into a Communistic Socialistic Liberal Fascist state. But hell, who cares, I'm young!!!!!

Between me and my wife we've had so many similar conversations over the past few weeks, including one only the other day. At last, I have found a person I can agree with. Now if only I might get my significant other to think the same way. lol

Hey everyone, Happy April Fool's Day!!!

A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his father for advice.
The father replies, "My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy."
The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy's nervousness builds.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Quite frankly some of the finest music ever made, been a fan for as long as I can recall.

Sounds awesome I have honestly got started with real estate which is kind of strange when you take into account that I work for a major real estate company? Ehh, who understands how these things come about, we all have our calling.

This is beautiful, in that weirdly ironic way. Thank you.

5. Porn Computer Software Download on Your PC

Adult TV online for free of charge has become a big hit since TV networks realized that TV can be broadcast through the internet. It is now easily possible to watch sex movies on the internet for absolutely free. All you may need to do is download an easy to install satellite TV on PC program and you are as good as ready.

Hi, i just thought i'd post and let you know your blogs layout is really messed up on the K-Melon browser. Anyhow keep up the good work.

3. You can raise or lower the restriction settings.

5. Porn Computer Software Download on Your PC

Another huge advantage of internet free adult TV on the computer monitor is that they offer translated text at the bottom of the screen. This means you will be able to understand most of the things being said on the movies.

One of the most favorite PC software for online free movies offers over 3000 channels from around the world. One may not need a translation here to understand this universal language of sex.

I find it interesting that companies can get all kind of incentives to do business in NC under the premise that jobs will follow. Increase in jobs means an increase in income tax revenue yet our taxes go up. Government is quick to throw the millions statistic when they are down but never seem to site anything when they are/were up. It appears that everyone but the citizens reap the benefits. Is it fuzzy CMS math?

Oh my gosh, you just reminded me that I've NOT paid our state tax refund yet......LOL!!!! We got a huge federal refund but had to pay in to state this year ($112).........guess I've been waiting till the absolute last moment to send them money.....I'll do it online so I get my bank "reward points!"

Useful article. I like the writing style. Already been reading this weblog for a couple of weeks now. Many excellent guides here. Will visit again soon.
