While I would ordinarily assume such a thing is spam which somehow filtered out of the spam filter, there is this odd chance that it’s referring to the current RNC Expense Report.\u00c2\u00a0 It was rather oddly inserted nonchalantly into a story, either burying the lead<\/a> or having a more reasonable sense of the lead as against the public’s more prurient interests.\u00c2\u00a0 (The paragraph in the story which sparked the whip-lash “Hey Now!”)<\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love to watch<\/em>” that may accrue<\/em> here.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
