Michael Steele, who was recently elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, paid a Maryland company run by his sister more than $37,000 for work related to his 2006 Senate campaign, a payment that Mr. Steele’s spokesman said Saturday was entirely appropriate.Pretty sweet deal for a catering and web services firm.

Mr. Steele did not dispute that his sister’s company, Brown Sugar Unlimited, of Bethesda, Md., had been paid $37,262 by his Senate campaign in February 2007, as federal election records show.
Odder yet, she's an ex-wife of Mike Tyson. You know, the guy who used to box when he wasn't raising pigeons and biting ears off.

ReplyDeleteHeh. Still, Brown Sugar Unlimited does suggest something a little risqué.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, it does, if you're inclined to think in sexualized/racist terms.
ReplyDeleteYou just described the Republican Party. Thanks for your honesty, daddio.

ReplyDeleteI think you overreact a bit. If you can really sit there and tell me that Brown Sugar Unlimited might not have some sort of "other" meaning attached to it -- well, I won't believe you.
That's not to say there was, but hey -- we have both had fun with the other side antics.
