RNC spent $1946.25 at sex-themed nightclub Voyeur West Hollywood.

Michael SteeleRepublican National Committee chairman Michael Steele evidently does not share the right’s disdain for Hollywood, a commitment to conservative spending practices, or discomfort with sexuality outside of traditional marriage. The Daily Caller reports that “FEC filings suggest Steele travels in style”:

*****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.

“There are topless ‘dancers’ acting out S&M scenes throughout the night on one of the side stages,” a rave review of Voyeur on Yelp.com describes. “There’s a half-naked girl hanging from a net across the ceiling and at one point I walked to the bathroom and pretty much just stopped dead in my tracks to watch two girls simulating oral sex in a glass case.” Although Steele’s high-flying ways have angered GOP donors, RNC communications director Doug Heye explains, “It takes money to make money.” (HT Oliver Willis)

2. Steele is begging for a firing....

so he can sue them for civil rights violations. This is just too funny....more family values hypocrisy from the RNC. This should really help with the fundraising. I don't think spending 2 large at a strip club is going to generate contributions from the base..

3. So Reassuring to Know...

that the hypocrisy just never ends with these people, does it?
