Fiscal conservatism at work

Yikes. Reporters at The Daily Caller uncovered the fact that the Republican National Committee spent tens of thousands on private planes and limos in one month, and also about $2,000 at an L.A. strip club. The RNC is investigating.

Since I'm always griping about a lack of context in reporting, I would really like to see follow-up stories on whether these types of expenses are unusual for political parties or not. Yes, I want to know what the Democratic National Convention spent and on what. That's the only way we'll know if both of our major political parties are sleazy and corrupt, or just one.

More importantly, it's just good journalism.
