The Republican National Committee has undertaken an investigation in the wake of news that nearly $2,000 in party funds was spent at a bondage-themed club that features topless female dancers imitating lesbian sex, an RNC spokesperson confirms to me.

The spokesperson adamantly denies that Michael Steele was the party who spent the money at the club and says Steele strongly disavows such actions.

The Daily Caller reported today that FEC filings show that $1,946.25 in RNC funds was spent in February at Voyeur West Hollywood, which features scantily clad waitresses and writhing performers amid a decor of orgy chic.

The Daily Caller suggested that the cash outlay at the club suggests “Steele travels in style,” without saying outright that he’s the one responsible for the expenditure. But an RNC spokesman sends over a statement adamantly denying it was Steele:

In fairness to Steele, the filings (http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00003418/457070/sb/21B/2) in question don’t specify who spent the money. It’s still unknown who the “non-committee staffer” is who spent this money, how this happened, and what the reaction of GOP donors will be to the RNC’s explanation.

"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.”

2. They're not investigating shit.

They'll find some low-level staffer, pin it on him, and fire him.

Then they'll announce that they've "cleaned house" and go back to preaching family values.

8. Oh, they're investigating.

They're searching for evidence and burying it as deeply as they can.

3. They're going to spend hundreds of thousands at that club, getting to the bottom of this scandal. nt

4. Michael Steele, the gift that keeps on giving! nt

5. Deny Everything!

Deny, Deny, Deny!

OK, in the face of overwhelming evidence say "Maybe".

The next step is to offer tearful apologies and then go right back out and do it again (The Swaggart Doctrine).
