High flyer: RNC Chairman Steele suggested buying private jet with GOP funds(RNC Cash for sex club?
Daily Caller ^ | 3-29-10 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 03/29/2010 6:53:10 AM PDT by icwhatudo

According to two knowledgeable sources, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele once raised the possibility of using party money to buy a private jet for his travel.

---snip---

While Steele has not purchased a plane, he continues to charter them. According to federal disclosure records, the RNC spent $17,514 on private aircraft in the month of February alone (as well as $12,691 on limousines during the same period). There are no readily identifiable private plane expenses for Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine in the DNC’s last three months of filings.

--snip---

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.

The charges are listed under “meals”. Is there a restaurant attached to this establishment that’s separate from the “entertainment” part?

I left the GOP almost two years ago. Its corruption goes far beyond Michael Steele. But good luck.

I’m looking around on celebrity sighting sites, etc.
There were a few ‘celebrities’ there that night (I never heard of them)
Found this comment about the prices there:

******* Voyeur is very very exclusive and unless your a 8 or above ladies or willing to get bottle service ( 2 bottles =$1,100) fellas, be prepared to be turned away.********

Oh my God! Would that really make a difference to you? This would really be okay in that case? WHY EAT AT AN S&M, SIMULATED LESBIAN SEX NIGHTCLUB IN THE FIRST PLACE?? Did Los Angeles run out of places to eat other than strip clubs?

You’re unbelievable... maybe you go to Titty McBreast’s Spanking Boobatorium just for their amazing chicken wings?

This would be top of the hour news if true;

You would think, especially if it gave the dinos something to write about other than how mad people are at the Dem.

There are some strip clubs that have attached restaurants that are often fairly good places to eat and places that you could take your family but are completely separate from the dancing area. I am curious about the charges being listed as “meals” though. Secondly, I don’t know that people need an index of banned restaurants to eat at because they are loosely associated with something seamy. But if you need your orgy of anger and outrage, I don’t intend to get in your way.

Other February 4th visitors to that nightclub:

********
So this is Nicole’s “rumored” new boo, Hill Harper. Nicole and Hill were spotted at Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood on Feb. 4th. I have to say I absolutely love this man.

Some stats….

Hill is a personal friend of Barack + Ivy League educated + celebrated author + successful Hollywood actor (CSI: NY) + foine = 100% HUSBAND MATERIAL.

A Daily Caller report Monday pointed out the expenditure, which was for almost $2,000 at Voyeur West Hollywood.

An RNC spokesperson said the committee is looking into the matter, but said the expenditure was made by a non-committee staffer and added that the report erroneously hinted that RNC Chairman Michael Steele attended the club.

“The chairman was never at the location in question, he had no knowledge of the expenditure, nor does he find the use of committee funds at such a location at all acceptable,” the spokesperson said. “Good reporting would make that distinction crystal clear. The committee has requested that the monies be returned to the committee and that the story be corrected so that it is accurate.”

Primry reason I refuse to donate anything to the RNC. Bunch of idiots when it comes to be being conservative.

When Sarah Palin was governor, she would fly commercial. How do I know? One of the guy's I used to work with in the oil patch flew from Juneau to Anchorage with her. SHE was interested in what we were doing, rather than talking about her.

Till the RNC decides to try and buy a clue(Haley Barbour would make a good RNC Chair), they are chasing off support, and giving rise to the angst in America. RNC's stupidity moves America towards a revolution, rather than unite behind those that give a damn about America. They need to pay attention to the CONSERVATIVES, and be conservative, at that point, we can straighten the country out.

if he genuinely used party funds for fetish enjoyment then he needs to go and fast

*i like naked gals too...not so much the sappho junk...but he can pay for that with his own cash

**i don’t fault him for chartering birds when need be...you can lease a jet/king air far cheaper than owning

Ford didn’t take any tax payer money. If your image is of a major company exec driving around in a Focus, that’s fine. I prefer to let them do whatever the company deems best.

And of course, I wouldn’t have given them a penny. Except when I choose to buy a car from them.

Good grief. Not that I have huge opbjections to strip clubs — I don’t frequent them personally, but whatever. To each his own. But, if you’re gonna have to report it to the FEC ... its probably better to spend your own money on topless entertainment.

Steele has a serious judgment problem.

we aren’t going to have top CEO’s and top companies if their leaders have to fly commercial.

And then there's the Wal-Mart policy.

It is amazing that anyone thinks the GOP is on our side. They are all corrupt.

In regard to Steele I am sure he just thinks it is part of the reparations that he is entitled to.

A patron’s review of the “club”:

“Oh. Wow.

Rolled up here with 6 girls around midnight on a Saturday night after we realized that the crowd at Crown Bar had gone drastically downhill.

The girl at the door sent us in right away and told us to go to a table by the bar and get some free Champagne. Seriously. This club is amazing. There are topless “dancers” acting out S&M scenes throughout the night on one of the side stages, 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.

Really understated elegance here.

Also, Lindsay Lohan was at our table at one point.

Great place to let loose on a Saturday night in Weho.”

Weho stands for West Hollywood. Should mean “We be Hoes”
