Salta fuori che il Republican National Committe - l'organismo che distribuisce i soldi del partito repubblicano per le sfide elettorali sul campo - ha una politica molto liberare per le spese di rappresentanza. In più gli impiegati - e i consulenti - del RNC hanno gusti sibariti. Per esempio hanno speso circa 30 mila dollari aerei privati e limousine. Ma la pietra dello scandalo è una ricevuta da più di mille dollari di un night club che assomiglia molto a un bordello di lusso.
The Republican National Committee spent about $30,000 in February on private airplanes and limousines. But those charges were overshadowed by the $1,946.25 charge at Voyeur West Hollywood, which was described by The Los Angeles Times last year as a “high-end nightclub” with an interior “reminiscent of the masked orgy scene” from the movie “Eyes Wide Shut.” Mr. Heye, the party spokesman, said that the Republican chairman, Michael S. Steele, was not responsible for the charges. He said the reimbursement was made to a “non-committee staffer,” whom he identified as Erik Brown of Orange, Calif., a political consultant. Mr. Heye said the money would be paid back to the Republican National Committee.
