RNC Chairman Michael Steele And Topless Lesbian Bondage Dancers

Yeah, that headline is correct. RNC Chairman Michael Steele's expense reports reveal some rather interesting expenditures.

While Steele has not purchased a plane, he continues to charter them. According to federal disclosure records, the RNC spent $17,514 on private aircraft in the month of February alone (as well as $12,691 on limousines during the same period). There are no readily identifiable private plane expenses for Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine in the DNC’s last three months of filings. Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele 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.

The website for Voyeur West Hollywood is down at the moment, probably (as one HuffPo wag puts it) because it's overloaded with Democrats looking for a photo of Steele in the champagne room. Oh, this will be fun on tonight's cable talk shows! The RNC is in full denial mode: "The chairman 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."
