RNC Staffer was just perplexed how this cash orgy broke out!
I must be working for the wrong people. My boss has never treated me to private jets and expensive Las Vegas nightclubs where go-go dancers “simulate” Lesbian sex. Who knew? EYES WIDE SHUT IS REAL!!!!
From The Daily Caller:
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.
RNC trips to other cities produced bills from a long list of chic and costly hotels such as the Venetian and the M Resort in Las Vegas, and the W (for a total of $19,443) in Washington. A midwinter trip to Hawaii cost the RNC $43,828, not including airfare.
I can hear my un-PC old relatives now muttering under their breath: “They should have never gave that N**ga MONEY!”
Apparently my favorite Uncle Mike has been “keepin’ it Steele” with the RNC’s play-play money. Limousines and fancy things. Staffers posting up Jay-Z, “Big Pimpin’, spendin’ Gs” style like it’s 1999! Poppin’ bottles, y’all!
From True/Slant:
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele has acquired a taste for expensive hotels and more expensive transportation, blowing through literally tens of thousands of dollars on ritzy hotel accommodations on individual trips. Federal disclosures also show that Steele and the RNC spent more than $17,000 on private aircraft (and another $12,000 on limos) in the month of February alone.
Steele’s RNC has raised $96.2 million but spent $106.9 in the same period.
Naturally folks are asking the “Gift that Keeps On Giving” to step down from his post. I’m surprised Uncle Mike has lasted THIS long. As Nicky Santoro would say in “Casino,” this is a guy who could eff up a cup of coffee. I expected him to be out by last August after he incurred the wrath of Rush Limbaugh, but Steele remains — and it’s HILARIOUS! Just look at what conservative columnist Kathleen Parker had to say!
When he assumed the chairmanship, Steele inherited a $23 million surplus. Through late last month, he had raised $10 million less and spent $10 million more than the party did in 2005. Much of the spending has gone for private jets, limos, Ritz-Carltons and Wolfgang Puck-catered dinners. While big donors and committee members sup on ahi tuna cones, bubbacrats and Tea Partyers hear: “Let them eat catfish.”
See? Uncle Mike is like Marie Antoinette! Livin’ high on the hog while those poor, poor Tea Partiers have to throw bricks made out of brick (instead of bricks made out of gold) in Democrat office windows. But he’s just “keepin’ it Steele,” y’all! This is what he meant when he said he was bringing a hip-hop influence to the Notorious RNC! You can’t seriously act surprised when Uncle Mike rolls through town with his crew screaming, “Hide the money, y’all! There’s poor folks around!”
That’s just how he rolls. That’s how “he do!”
Seriously tho … out before August 2010. For realz this time.

I am with you. I really do not see how he lasted this long. Oh yes I do. The reason he stayed this long is the same reason the republicans backed Alan Keys; They need a black person to counter act President Obama. It didn’t work in Chicago and it is not working now.
