Michael Steele Bravely Fires Underlings Over Strippergate

 RNC comedy chairman Michael Steele has finally stepped up and taken responsibility for the Republicans' insane bondage-lesbian-strip-club party spending, if by "stepped up" you mean "he fired the finance director and the deputy finance director." (He fired another minor character in this sexytime melodrama back in March.) Steele, America's Number One hilarious person, told RNC moneyman Rob Bickhart and his assistant moneylady, Debbie LeHardy, that they would have to resign so that Michael Steele could keep his absurdly cushy job and royal office all so he can help the Republicans continue to provide jokes for comedians.
