In the world of politics, there was plenty of eye-rolling and mockery at reports that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele spent lavishly on gratuitous and questionable expenditures in February.

For Republican donors and strategists, however, the revelation sparked yet another round in a lengthy debate over whether the rambunctious GOP leader really is the right fit for the party in the minority.

On Monday morning, the Daily Caller reported that the RNC spent thousands of dollars on high-end travel arrangements, swanky hotels and, most remarkably, "meals" at a lesbian-and-bondage-themed nightclub in West Hollywood. The latter expense, naturally, grabbed most of the attention and the cleverest of headlines -- prompting the RNC to simultaneously state that it would investigate the expenditures and that it wasn't Steele who went to the club.

Hey these (conservatives) realy know how to party

Gdammit man! You beat me to it...the FAMILY VALUES party....uh...likes to party.

"The Republican National Committee is undertaking an investigation in the wake of news that nearly $2,000 in party funds was spent at Voyeur West Hollywood, a risqué night-club in Los Angeles.

“We cater to Hollywood elite,” said Voyeur’s spokesperson. “There is a sexual prevalence throughout the club.”

How does that sexual prevalence play itself out?

“Through live art installations which feature women acting out voyeuristic scenes that any of us would enjoy,” said the Voyeur spokesperson.

The inspiration for the club was the film “Eyes Wide Shut,” the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film featuring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

According to an RNC spokesperson, The $1,946.25 RNC reimbursement was made to a “non-committee staffer.”

Chairman Steele was “never at the location in question, he had no knowledge of the expenditure, nor does he find the use of committee funds at such a location at all acceptable.”

The RNC “has requested that the monies be returned to the committee.” "

Who cares.......

But...doesn't

Again, who cares?

Dude...THEY ( the Liberals ) care.

They care about EVERYTHING that makes Republicans look bad.

What they DON'T care about is the fact that nearly every violent act or riot that happened during a protest was a result of LIBERALS.

Name ONE Conservative protest that resulted in a riot??

They can't.

That's why, when I see them wringing their hands about the " violence " against them because of the Health Care bill..all I can do is laugh at the sheer hypocrisy of their words.

and they were tied into their chairs until they had licked their plates clean!

Us Vs Them, no wonder we never move forward.

This strikes me as a completely Xenophobic comment.

Here let this article from Forbes describe my position.
http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2005/0328/046.html

If you do not understand the relation . . .

Government officals wasting money on booze and whores?Can't say I am surprised.I remember reading about how a city hired a auditor to audit the taxes.They flew him first class,limousine service,5 star hotel rooms,and only the best food.He racked up over $220,000 in expenses on top of his normal salary in just one year.This kind of abuse is everywhere in our government and needs a overhaul.

Yea, this is nothing compared to McGreevy constantly ditching his security detail when he was supposed to be in the Governor's Office and checking into cheap motels with a male member of his staff(On the tax payers dime).

I am reminded of another thread about 60 dollar snacks.....really,, is it news on either side,,,,?

I think its funny because the same group of people who are against health care for poor people think its a grand time to hang out in a night club with a lesbian S and M thing going on for entertainment. Just imagine how the republican would be flameing had this been Bill Clinton.

yes, I agree, there is a strange way of prioritizing in this country

now that there is a move for health insurance costs to be covered more equally, people are in arms and terrified of losing their country,,,

when we are starting wars or making enemies,,,people feel life is as it should be

shrugs,,,

I can name a lot more than one, but bombings, murder, kidnapping, assault and arson are not really riots are they? oh wait, there have been riots as well. All in the name of the "conservative" agenda.

I've got two words for your post.......abortion clinics

Well...just a couple in return...

WTO protests ( Liberals ) normally turn violent.

Would you be trying to imply that those same things you rattled off are not done by Liberals??

By the way...the abortion clinics are normally not protested in the name of " conservatism "....they are protested in the name of God.

Big difference.

Oh please your killing me here. Had this been the Democratic party Fox news and the fundamentalists would have beein raining so much fire and brimestone it would further increase global warming.

no what I'm implying is that both sides have taken part acts that less than honorable. it would be highly unfair to sit there and suggest that only one party has it's nuts. which is what your post more than implies.

NEWSFLASH!!!!!!! still no comment on right wing perversions from Rush Lymbaugh! Faux News and Bill O'liely!

I never meant to imply that both sides DON'T have it's whack jobs. The proportion of whackos might be called into question from either side, but the facts are that there are some real nutcases on both sides.

But...take a look at some of the other posts in this thread and you will see no such admission from most people.

Really??

A Republican representative had his office SHOT AT.

There wasn't a whole lot of hue and cry about it. There were a couple of stories...but not NEARLY as many in proportion with the hand wringing done by the left about a few cases of vandalism.
