1. "That's pocket change for us Republicon eeleetes." - Steeley Mike (R)

"You Americans need to get a clue. You are sooo stooopid. We republicons could care less about a measly $500 K. We are way too busy advocating MORE MORE MORE tax cuts for rich Republicons. You ordinary Americans need to STFU and sit down. Sneer. Smirk."

[RandomThoughts]

2. There is more to it.

They might have created it out of nothing becuase he mentioned 'social engineering'

It might be that he used jewelry as some pay out.

It might not even be a real story, and they are showing him they can make up anything they want in news.

Or they might be saying they will say something else, if he does not go along with that story.

Or 100 other things, who knows with the media games.

8. For FatCat Repubs, $500 is just beer and travel money...

Eat your heart out RT.

There is a rumor going round that 'your check is in the mail.'

[W_HAMILTON]

3. How much is he getting paid...

...to add such informative insight? :sarcasm:

[Ganja Ninja]

4. All he really had to say is "Who cares about Newt?"

Turns out only Newt.

[Metta]

5. Deflect and obfuscate. Typical empty suit behavior.

So sad they don't know about their karma.

[RavensChick]

6. That dude is the gift that keeps on giving!

Priceless is an understatement. Wow! They're trippin' over $500K, and the economy is still fucked up because of them? Okay.

7. This, from the man who blew $2,000 at an L.A. bondage club.

Republican red faces over party's $2,000 LA bondage club billUS conservative party spent the money on a trip to a club where topless women hang from nets on the ceiling

The Republican chairman, Michael Steele, promised on taking office that he would bring the party to corners of America it had not reached before. It is a fair bet that most Republicans did not expect these corners to include the Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage and S&M club in Los Angeles.

It emerged today that the Republicans spent almost $2,000 last month on a visit to the club where topless women hang from nets on the ceiling and simulate sex in a glass case.

The lavish spending will anger grassroots Republicans who are bombarded almost every day with more requests for contributions to help the cash-strapped party. A Republican National Committee spokesman said that it was looking into the matter. It insisted Steele was not at the club, but did not identify who had spent the money.

Such extravagance, in a time of recession and by the party that bills itself as fiscally conservative and reflecting family and Christian values, will renew questions about Steele's leadership.

9. how does gingrich make money?

shouldn't there be some OP's (other people) who are pissed about it? just for starters. i don't know. but it speaks badly for his ability to control himself. i sure as hell don't want him anywhere near my money.

[yellowcanine]

11. Apparently Mikey cares. Or he wouldn't be talking about it.

Put the shoe on a Democratic foot Mikey. Suppose the Obamas had racked up a $500,000 debt at Tiffany's.
Would you be talking about it? You bet your "street wise" ass.

13. Newt doesn't want to confess that some of the bling went

to his current mistress.

[malaise]

16. But it was his wife's form so that would be

unbelievable

[alfredo]

19. He couldn't use it?

[RavensChick]

17. Good point.

She probably used it as down payment on a bungalow in Argentina.

their campaign.
