| Description | U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein has canceled a fundraiser in her honor after an invitation to potential guests came across to some as more audacious than amusing.
The fundraiser, scheduled for Wednesday, included a play on words about the California Democrat's committee assignments.
It said the luncheon included a menu of "the Select Committee on Intelligence for the first course followed by your choice of Appropriations, Judiciary or Rules committees." Feinstein is chairman of the Intelligence Committee and serves on the other committees cited.
Feinstein's spokesman, Gil Duran, said the senator had not seen the invitation until its contents were listed Monday in the Capitol Hill newspaper, Roll Call.
"It was obvious that this would be subject to misinterpretation by some, and it was canceled to avoid any misinterpretation," he said.
