RNC Chief Of Staff McKay Resigns

Politico:

Republican National Committee chief of staff Ken McKay resigned Monday, becoming the highest-ranking official to depart the committee after revelations that the national party spent nearly $2,000 at a California sex club.

Doug Heye, communications director for the RNC, declined to say if McKay was asked to resign but indicated the move was directly related to the money spent at the now-infamous Voyeur Club and broader concerns about the party’s fundraising and Chairman Michael Steele.

“This is about ensuring that we have the tightest financial controls in place and to ensure that every nickel we spend is done with the goal of winning in November,” said Heye.

He added: “The chairman wanted to take swift action so that we can move forward.”

McKay didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail requesting comment.

Starting immediately, Mike Leavitt will become the new RNC chief of staff. Leavitt worked at the committee with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s campaign last year and in February became deputy chief of staff. He ran Steele’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign in 2006.

    It is far past the time that the RNC gets rid of Steele. He is as bad as the libs about using race because he is criticized. The miracle is that the party can raise money with Steele at the helm. Let him leave and join the libs, that is where he belongs.

      Been doing this since McLame cuffed the pooch when he could have slam dunked the skinnie mac daddy. Fuck the RNC and the GD horse they rode in on. I’ve sent money to Scott Brown, JD Hayworth and local guy running against a traitorous Dim turned RINO when he saw defeat. Will send to Bachman and anybody against that filthy piece of shit, Reid.

      No more money to cretins who don’t support my core beliefs. Starve the bastards into submission or let them go over to the Soros party.
