Michael Steele and the RNC have been beset by recent setbacks.

Washington (CNN) - A nearly $2,000 bar tab at a bondage-themed Hollywood night club has continued to cast a shadow on the Republican National Committee and has raised questions over the ability of its chairman, Michael Steele, to lead the party to victory in November 2010.

Conservatives started criticizing Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, after he blasted radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh last year and later apologized. Some of the party faithful are also critical for his spending. And some fear he's not positioning the GOP well enough to hammer vulnerable Democrats in mid-term elections this fall.

Republican strategist Mary Matalin, noting the recent club tab controversy's effect on the chairman, offered Steele advice, saying he "needs to take a step back and ... raise some money and do some turnout and get the job done."

He needs to raise some money for the 2K bar tab yet lol

SSDD

The strict confines of the far right actually cause these reports. Ppl are expected to be perfectly conservative, in order to join this rather exclusive club, but they fail time & again to measure up to thier own requirements of being straight, family-oriented, god-fearing ppl.

Every time we see this, all we can do is shake our collective heads & sigh about the hypocrisy, cuz those standards they would have everyone follow turn out to be too difficult for them to follow, & they look corrupt & sick.

Eh...I'll just laugh it off, & vote for more reasonably honest ppl in the future.

Much Ado about nothing... serious anyway.

Merely evidence we need to reform the political system overall, not just vote party lines.

To be honest... as I always am... it's cheap reporting compared to some of the real issues out there.

Damn Dewy you been droppn' the same acid tabs as that crazy guy glenj.
you wrote egg zaktley what he was gonna write.
