Just like many others in here, it pisses me off when my involuntarily paid tax dollars are wasted. I can't imagine my level of anger if money I donated, that I could have used to get a lap dance, was used by someone else to enjoy some T&A.

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.

I can't say I don't appreciate their venue of choice. However, if I were a donor to the RNC, I wouldn't want it paid for on my dime.

**Edit**
I guess today brings multiple shots in the foot for the RNC and Republican party as a whole today.
