Then, First This: Tucker Carlson responds to RNC complaints about DC’s Michael Steele article

Posted By Tucker Carlson On Monday, March 29th, 2010 @ 2:30 PM In DC Exclusives, Homepage:Feature, Politics | 94 Comments

The complaints from the RNC about this morning’s Daily Caller article, “High Flyer: RNC Chairman Steele suggested buying private jet with RNC funds [1],” while loud, lack substance.

Despite claims to the contrary, no one from the committee has ever explained the specific circumstances of any of the expenses listed in its most recent disclosure filings.

Our questions remain: Why did the committee spend more than $17,000 on private jets in the month of February? How and why was RNC business conducted in a bondage-themed nightclub, and how and why were the nearly $2,000 in charges that resulted approved by RNC staff?

To be clear: We did not claim that Michael Steele personally visited Voyeur West Hollywood. In fact, and unfortunately, we still know almost nothing about that trip, including its purpose. If the RNC provides details, we’ll put them on the site immediately.

The Daily Caller requested interviews with Michael Steele on Jan. 14, Jan. 15, Jan. 18, Feb. 10, Feb. 23 and again on March 23. All were denied.

The story we ran today is accurate, as the RNC knows.

I think the Left will have a field day with Michael Steel

Yes, and they will keep the pressure up from now until November. If the Repubs don't get rid of him now, there'll be no chance in November. He will be the focus of every race. (Oops, I probably shouldn't use the word race because it'll be taken the wrong way.)
