Shocker: Micahel Steele and the RNC love to waste money

It’s all to attract the “big” donors, I’m sure:

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.

RNC trips to other cities produced bills from a long list of chic and costly hotels such as the Venetian and the M Resort in Las Vegas, and the W (for a total of $19,443) in Washington. A midwinter trip to Hawaii cost the RNC $43,828, not including airfare.

None of this crap comes as any surprise of course.

My only question is this: at what point does the RNC realize that Michael Steele is more of a negative than a positive for the party?  Hell, for that matter what are the positives?  Have there ever been any?
