The Democratic National Committee is having a field day Monday at the expense of its cross-town rivals at the RNC--or the "Risque National Committee," as the Dems put it in one of the blizzard of e-mailed releases they are sending out.
The Daily Caller says the FEC filings "suggest" that "Steele travels in style." From there it wasn't much of a leap for the DNC to send out emails stating that "Yes, it appears that Michael Steele spent RNC money" at the nightclub.
SNIP
It contains a payment to Erik Brown, at an address in Orange, California, who was reimbursed for the $1,946.25.
Brown is a Republican direct mail consultant (his business address is the one on the FEC report). He did not immediately respond to a telephone call from The Baltimore Sun.
Doug Heye, the RNC's chief spokesman, has issued the following statement:
âWe are investigating the expenditure in question. The story willfully and erroneously suggests that the expenditure in question was one belonging to the Chairman. This was a reimbursement made to a non-committee staffer. 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. Good reporting would make that distinction crystal clear. The committee has requested that the monies be returned to the committee and that the story be corrected so that it is accurate.â
The RNC said the Daily Caller story was "riddled with misleading information and inaccuracies."

Ooooooooooooooooooo. Publicity at home. Wonder if the GOP will get a clue and fire Mikey Steele and his personal friends he hired?
This kind of publicity just might do the trick.
Sarah Palin would be a great RNC Chair.
They are trying to start another scandal; while attempting to cover up their own.
Recall that a memo circulated among donors outlining the GOP media strategy went to the media the same day that it was circulated?
The RNC has been penetrated by DNC sympathizers.
Who said on not involved?
Please remember that the SUN was the paper that editorialized, when Steele ran for lieutenant governor, that the only thing he had going for him was the color of his skin. Having printed that lie, the SUN continues to try to slander Steele because he had the unmitigated gall to wander off the liberal plantation.
I can’t read the whole thread. It is sickening to me that anyone in here would believe what the DNC has to say. If freepers believe it, how can we expect the ordinary joe not to believe it. Frankly, anything coming from the left should be deemed untrue until proven after we got to see first hand their lying dirty tricks with the Congress n-word/spitting bulldem.
If you are then you should know they do the best they can. In any system or group there will be some that break the rules and need to be removed.
Besides, if Steele did this and anybody tries to complain, isn’t that racism?
Yeah, glad we cleared that up.
When I worked for several giga-corporations, the social rule was to always have the lowest ranking person pay the bar bills. That way they could be approved by the higher ranking folks at the table.
What exactly has Steele done that has helped the cause of conservatism?
I can’t think of anything.
Well, rinos are horny.
The left is desperate. Obama’s poll numbers are still in the tank after his “victory” with “healthcare” which the American public resents and despises.
If a democrat goes to an X-Rated club using taxpayer or campaign money, it’s looked at as a badge of honor... Just saying.
“If a democrat goes to an X-Rated club using taxpayer or campaign money, its looked at as a badge of honor”
Actually, it’s called ‘campaigning’.
Yeah, as we don’t vote for the Republican Party members, the Leftist RINO’s had to have moved in, and made themselves at home in the beginning of their assault on our party. I think as nobody noticed right away as they figured would happen the next thing was we found ourselves voting for the one that lied in election campaigns better than the other RINO. Seems their modus operandi is to lie about their Conservative credentials, and then do as they damned well Leftist please once elected.
I recall voting many a time over the last twenty years or so for the lesser of evils opposed to somebody I really respected to be my representative, thus my observation.
What we are seeing here is another attempt at a Clarence Thomas style lynching by the Democratic party.
This is all irrelevant. Did the discuss politics a the S&M Sex Club or not?
