Rethuglican National Committee Chairclown Michael "Tin Man" Steele has some expensive tastes, and major Rethug contributors aren't happy about it. He's apparently spent millions in self-aggrandizing items, such as private aircraft, cars, and catered events. The RNC hasn't done very well in fundraising under Tin Man, so they were down to a relatively meager $8 million in reserves by the end of 2009.
Then again, as one disgruntled donor put it, Tin Man thinks he's a candidate for President, and wants all the trappings to go with it. We think Tin Man's bubble will be bursting before long as the Rethugs put even more constraints on his spending.
