There was a lot about this on Morning Joe this morning. Money spent on some kind of bondage club, private jets, expensive hotels, expensive meals. Some contributors griping about how their donations are being spent to woo major contributors to make those $100K donations. Apparently this kind of spending doesn't play well for those that are making $50- $100 contributions.

I don't think Steele has distinguished himself as the head of the RNC. He had a good reputation in Maryland politics, but I don't know what's happened to him since he took over the RNC.

But back to the financial report -- I think it is probably true that the big contributors expect to be lavishly wined and dined.
I don't think Michael Steele or any high level party official is entitiled to having themselves flown in private jets using contributors money. The bondage club? Someone didn't consider the "optics" on this one - no one thought about how this would look, if it was a headline in a major newspaper in the US.
