A "lesbian-themed" strip club, no less.
Perhaps they were doing some family values research. Or perhaps promoting equality for women in the workplace?
The RNC is busy denying that the person who went to the club was Chairman Michael Steele. But whether or not Steele attended is not the important question here. The more important question for the party of financial responsibility was why would Steele (or his office) approve an expense by what they are calling "a non-committee staffer" (whatever that is) for $1,946 in "meals" on a single day at a booty club?
No organization I know of would approve such an expense. At least one that was financially well-managed.
I love how the Republicans are for the things they continually fail at: moral values and financial competence.

Texting Fail
Did the Washington Post really need to text me at 6:14 a.m. to tell me that there was "light snow on the ground" and schools are delayed? I mean, text me when something unexpected happens. Like Michael Steele saying something that doesn't embarass Congressional Republicans.

Log Cabin Happy with Steele; McConnell Okay with Anti-gay Label
The Log Cabin club of optimists are excited about Michael Steele as the new chair of the GOP. In an email I received today, they say:
"He is the right man at the right time to lead the GOP. Steele is an inclusive leader who will bring a new energy and a new vision to the GOP at a critical time."
Let's hope. Look, I was a Republican once. Back when the GOP was about limited government and fighting Commies. Reagan went after the Commies and the Commies are gone. And today's GOP wants to go after gays.
Sen. Mitch McConnell got some publicity recently for his saying the GOP risks becoming a permanent minority party. In a summation by Politico, McConnell was reported as saying:
"McConnell called on the GOP to push back against labels that have hurt the party in the past — anti-immigrant, anti-union and anti-environment — and to regain taxpayers’ trust that they support limited government spending. "
Well, what about the anti-gay label? Worried about that one, Senator?
Reagan went after the Commies. George W. Bush went after the gays and terrorists and the Constitution. For a whole generation of new voters, the GOP will be seen as anti-freedom and anti-gay (most young people, even Evangelicals, aren't hostile to gay people).
That's your problem, Senator.
But I don't think those religious zealots who run your party will let you change.
That's why I had to.
