Hello, it's not the vacay that's the problem here.

It's going on a Mediterranean cruise and then telling people in West Des Moines, Iowa that you spent your time consulting with the Greek people on the European economic situation and that these chats with the locals in the tourism industry had a profound influence on your understanding of the global economy.

Just dayum.

Hello! I know what the point of the hit piece was and the "problem" for me was the snarky, prejudicial set-up. Using the word "luxury" instead of "mistimed" or "ill-timed", leads the reader to feel contempt for this undeserving buffoon before we even find out he's attempting to redeem the trip by pretending it was campaign fact-finding on the World economy.

Its mocking contempt married to petty political BS and is made to connect to the Tiffany hit pieces.

But thanks for the lecture.
