Look, I'm not one to play the partisan electoral game. Fuck them all, they ain't worth a shit, basically. But sometimes, things are just too good to pass up. Like
this:
Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele [Michael Steele, Republican National Committee chairman] travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent [update: the amount is actually $1,946.25] at Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex.
Wow. I mean, that's cool if that's what you're into, but you're a Republican. The head of the party, no less. Conservatives always rail against that kind of thing. Aren't they going to hell for being gay? I guess it's fun to watch how they'll get there, huh? Sure, you would rather die than let them get married [can't let down the gee oh dee], but you really enjoy looking at what they would be doing on their wedding night. Makes sense.
The more I read the article, the more I started to think that the guy is a double agent. Take them down from the inside, you know?
A March 20 FEC filing shows the RNC has $9.5 million cash on hand. Steele began his tenure with $22.8 million, and has since raised $96.2 million. During the same period, however, the RNC has spent $109.6 million, for a deficit of $13.4 million. That spending included aid to the campaigns that elected Gov. Bob McDonnell in Virginia and Gov. Chris Christie in New Jersey.
Man, he can really blow some money. Good for him.
Have to be honest, don't really understand why everyone is up in arms about the plane. I'm actually surprised that they haven't had one for years already.
