Republican chief faces fallout over sex-themed nightclub tab
From CNN by By Ed Hornick and Peter Hamby
— Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is being criticized again after the committee bankrolled a Republican donor’s tab at a risque Hollywood nightclub with other party members.
The news comes as Republicans seek donations for an expected brutal and expensive battle to win back the House and the Senate during the midterm elections in November.
"For those donors who truly believe in conservative values, this latest news about Steele has to be very disturbing," Douglas MacKinnon, a former press secretary to then-Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, told the Huffington Post.com’s Sam Stein. "Michael Steele needs to resign and let the RNC vote in a man or woman who understands that his or her needs do not come before the needs of the nation or the party."
Federal Election Commission records show Eric Brown, a Republican donor, was reimbursed almost $2,000 by the RNC for a night that included a visit to Voyeur, a Los Angeles club where topless dancers can be seen mimicking sex and bondage acts. The RNC said Brown will give back the money for that night at the nightclub.

NL- Don’t you wonder who goes over all their bills and knows which clubs are a no-no?
What are “conservative values”? Supposedly fundamentalist alleged suicidal pilot Mohommad Atta had the same conservative values and was in a titty bar the night before 911. So much for his 77 virgins in heaven, after breaking his orthodoxal oaths.
