Guarded by US Capitol Police bolstered by officers on loan from the Hawaii
County PD, Pelosi is enjoying what Hollywood Reporter calls: "...a
picture-perfect stretch of beach on the Big Island's chic Kona Coast....a
private Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and Pahu'ia, an award-winning
oceanfront restaurant, $40 million worth of enhancements...20 new suites and
... its lauded Hualalai Spa."
According to the Hualalai Spa website, Pelosi may, "Enjoy complimentary
pre-treatment rituals, relaxing by a quiet stream in the open-air Waiea, or
Water of Life, garden. Or savour the lap pool, whirlpools, saunas, steam
rooms and cold plunges, all set amidst lush greenery. (Pelosi's) choice of
skin-care and massage treatments may be enjoyed outdoors in our exotic new
hales, secluded for privacy.... With the guidance of (her) spa therapist,
(Pelosi may) choose from more than 20 local natural ingredients - from
Hawaiian sea salt to crushed macadamia nuts - which are custom-blended to
create unique personalized treatments."
It is not clear how Pelosi arrived on the Big Isle. Her controversial
military transport is not immediately visible amidst the forest of private
jets which now crowd Kona's Keahole Airport South Tarmac. Hawaii County is
hard hit by shrinking tax receipts caused by the Obama recession, but Hawaii
County Police department spokesperson Chris Loos states that the department
was able to aid Pelosi's security detail without canceling other scheduled
enforcement activities. Loos did not provide an estimate of the expense
incurred by the County PD.

A strong nation requires smaller government, more personal freedom, a strong
national defense, lower taxes, and determination to stop socialism.
Rush probably has enjoyed his Hawaii vacation somewhat less.
