The Republican National Committee's finance director and his deputy were forced out Friday as the organization still reels from reimbursements for donors to attend a lesbian bondage-themed nightclub in Los Angeles.

RNC chief of staff Michael Leavitt sent an e-mail message to committee members telling them of the changes in the fundraising department and promising better stewardship of donors' dollars heading toward crucial midterm elections in November. A replacement for finance director Rob Bickhart and deputy Debbie LeHardy was to be announced Friday evening.

Mary Heitman, a longtime Republican fundraiser, was the expected choice.

The finance team's ouster came late on a Friday as the RNC prepared for a major meeting with its state party chairs in the Washington area next week. The RNC became a late-night joke and questions arose about chairman Michael Steele's tenure after financial reports showed lavish spending, including almost $2,000 for a night at a sex-themed nightclub with topless entertainers.

In a prepared statement, Steele said, "We are well-positioned for victory this fall and look forward to working with Mary to continue to improve upon our strong fundraising numbers and provide the support necessary to win elections."

1. So that they don't ruffle too many feathers right now....

Steele will be gone after the mid term elections, if they
do it now, it will show weakness, and could effect the outcome.
