Steele was there?

The Republican National Committee has fired the staffer who charged the party committee for the nearly $2,000 bill from an outing at a topless nightclub, Politico reports.

The unnamed staffer [he's named in other press reports] was aware the outing was not eligible for reimbursement but nevertheless convinced GOP donor Erik Brown, a California businessman, to pick up the tab and seek out reimbursement, according to Politico.

The trip to Voyeur in West Hollywood, a bondage-themed club featuring topless dancers, reportedly followed a RNC event for its "Young Eagles" donors.

Brown has reportedly agreed to pay back the funds.

The RNC said in a statements its "accounting and reimbursement processes are being revised" to prevent such occurrences in the future, Politico reports.

"The incident adds to Republican distractions in what would otherwise be a promising election cycle for the party," writes Aaron Blake of the Hill, noting a number of missteps from the RNC, such as a recent fundraising presentation that featured crude caricatures of Democrats.

The RNC spent about $15 million more than it raised last year, the Hill reports.

Who cares?.....Edwards would've been front row had he been invited.

Republican donors probably care:

A few thousand here and there on sex club outings adds up ;)

Of all the things going on, this ain't news.

they are only "conservative" when the other guy gets elected. all of the sudden spending matters. where were these tea party morons about 8 or 9 years ago? oh, thats right its ok if your own guy breaks the bank. the good news is the last poll showed that 42% of the voting public is registered independant. now is the time to pump new blood in there and hopefully a third and fourth party.

Now that's funny... :D

Wonder if Edwards would have $20 bills flashing around.

Pelosi had a $100,000.00 ++ FOOD tab last year on us. I wish she would have just took in a Chippendales show! That doesn't mention her Air Force travel costs.

yeah, so.....

All those morons weren't being pushed off the financial cliff 8-9 yrs ago!
3 or 4 parties??.....completely illogical! Why don't we break up into 4 countries?

4 Parties might not be a bad thing. Any change would be an improvement.

As far as political scandal goes--this is little more than a nasty fart in a crowded room!

I say 3-1 they will use it to get rid of Steele.

Here's a pretty funny accounting of the political scandal scorecard at The Daily Beast:
