Perhaps it's just a vain attempt to teach the RNC writers empathy and humanity?
"BEHOLD! You are terrified spending merely one night in this hotel. Others must live like this year round! Yea, do you not yet see the error of your ways?!"

Of course, if they were capable of introspection and humility and empathy, they wouldn't be NRO writers, but hey.

THe submitter must be new here.
Rule#1: we only mock republicans. When democrats fart, its like an air freshener.

Wait, journalists are assigned hotels?

hurdboy: Pants full of macaroni!!: if you can do it without laughing, crying or vomiting, you'll get through the next 8 years just fine

Or maybe you'll have reached adulthood by the time it's up.

Says the boy who still believes that the money is getting ready to trickle down! Honestly! For REAL this time! I swear! Really! Just a few more tax breaks for multinational companies and the wealthiest! And the deficit will go down too if we do that, and increase defense spending more!

Proteios1: dem

Hey look y'all, someone wandered off of Fox and has been confronted with facts!

calm like a bomb: Great_Milenko: Maybe this has more to do with the fact that Charlotte, like most of North Carolina, is a shiathole.

Wow. Go for the low-hanging fruit, eh?

Especially coming from someone who in their profile says they live in PA. Their state liquor board makes ours seem sane. Now excuse me, I'm going to go to my local grocery store and buy a single can of beer and a bottle of wine without having to use a breathalyzer.

I always thought our "not before noon on a Sunday" law was nuts, until I went to Massachusetts and realized this supposedly progressive state outlawed Sunday sales, period.

What kind of pussy journalists take accommodations and then biatch about them? They couldn't arrange it themselves?

Is there some security issue that required journalists covering it to go through the DNC? I don't see why NRO didn't book it themselves, on their own terms. I almost never hear of journalists covering shows like this not on their own company's dime. I go to Las Vegas every year for CES, and we book rooms in a hotel of the company's choosing, not the CEA's. Was all of Charlotte filled already that they couldn't handle it without logistics from the DNC?

It's an urban legend that you had to do all that to purchase alcohol. Most of the time the machine malfunctioned and you never got anything at all for your efforts.

peterquince: But there really is no excuse for anyone, especially women, to be assigned to hotels that are beyond dingy and in some cases clearly unsafe.

because women are always afraid and more prone to fainting spells than the big tough men that should be around as chaperones? if only they would realize that and let you protect them!

I can only imagine how terrified Lourdes Garcia-Navarro would be if she were forced to stay at an Econo Lodge.

Why does the National Review hate small businesses?

HotWingConspiracy: I don't understand why the Democrats didn't build new five start hotels in Charlotte for Tucker Carlson.

oppressive government regulations and having a federal minimum wage just made it too much of a burden for the job-creators to even bother. obamacare alone will triple the construction costs. obviously.

I like how he says that but doesn't even mention any women being at the hotel.

The writer knows this.... because... he bought an eight ball and got a handjob in the parking lot?

Cinaed: The writer knows this.... because... he bought an eight ball and got a handjob in the parking lot?

No, the hand job was how he paid for the eight ball.

Odds are they just saw a bunch of poor people and freaked out.

Besides, I though an NRO reporter would be a bootstrappy tough guy who carries a gun and would be able to protect themself.

Personally if I saw I was booked to stay at a Knights Inn I would be on Priceline/Hotwire getting a decent room before I left. Not out of fear of poor people though, out of fear of bedbugs and other sanitary reasons. I thought everyone knew places with the "Knights Inn" branding are shiatholes, especially journalists who travel a lot.

Why is NRO even attending the DNC? They're just going to make shiat up anyway, surely they could do that at home.

Trapper439: Why is NRO even attending the DNC? They're just going to make shiat up anyway, surely they could do that at home.

Do we have confirmation they're actually there?

I love the message the NRO reporters are sending to the average voter with this "scandal".

Keep it up, please.

L.M. BUTTOCKS OFF!

Reviews are mixed.

 

But Carlson is still a pretty-pretty princess. Regardless.

Fluorescent Testicle: Between the source and the instagreen, I'm going to guess that the drug dealers were two guys drinking beer and the prostitute was a woman hanging out with her husband.

/I'm being snarky, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm right.
//Not giving NRO a click.

That sounds like one of the better Knights Inns.

Jackson Herring: peterquince: The Crack Hotels of the DNC

you see the joke is that black people are predominantly democrats and also crack cocaine is a popular drug among african americans and furthermore

Before only a racist would criticize Obama, now only a racist would criticize the DNC.

So, this is like their first trip away from home? How precious!

You must be pretty young, you've only been able to buy liquor on Sunday in Pa for the last 5 years or so... and even then, only at certain stores.

I can remember when you could not buy an airlines drink when flying over Pennsylvania on a Sunday.

Personally, as a liberal, I'm offended they criticized the good old fashioned American institution of cocaine.

Charlotte is not equipped to handle this convention, it was chosen because the Democrats need to win this state.

Dims have to win South Carolina? What polls are you looking at?

Remember when journalists would travel to war torn countries just to get the story first hand?

I don't care. I'd rather vote for a man who understands the plight of the working class, and dabbles in hookers rather than a candidate who spends his evenings pulling his pud to Atlas Shrugged.
