A story that has been in the news has been the fallout by top Republican donors against the lavish spending of the Republican National Committee.The Rove Republican Racket perfected the ability to engage in wasteful spending. So much for "fiscal responsibility" during the Rove-Bush-Cheney years.
The final straw broke in March when reports came out about a top RNC consultant who bought drinks and appetizers at a lesbian-theme bondage club had submitted the expenditures to the RNC. So much for the Republicans' "traditional family values" so hyped during the Rove-Bush-Cheney years.
The Los Angeles Times reported this on Sunday:
Looks like Steele is "cracking the whip" and playing "dominatrix" over the situation!The Republican National Committee's ouster Friday of two top finance officials marks an attempt to rebound from a string of reports on lavish spending, including a $1,946.25 expenditure at a lesbian-theme bondage club in Los Angeles. RNC Chief of Staff Michael Leavitt announced the reorganization of the finance department late Friday in an e-mail to committee members. RNC Chairman Michael Steele asked for resignations from finance director Rob Bickhart and his deputy, Debbie LeHardy, "to improve on our strong fundraising numbers" and to "help us to provide the necessary resources to defeat Democrats across the country," the e-mail said.
