45. Oh, I am so about to co-sign on your "disownment" of Michael Steele
Yep, we can throw OJ and everyone on Maury/Jerry/Montel etc. etc. in there as well. And don't forget Uncle Clarence on the Supreme Court.

I had no idea about the RNC trying to take away Steele's power. Thanks so much for that link. Does it not even occur to these idiot Republicans that this does not make them look good? They've got the first black RNC Chairman EVER and barely two months into his term, they're trying to pass rules that require two signatures for him to sign checks and trying to take away most of his authority. Is there no one within their ranks that has the common sense to say "folks, we already have a problem getting minorities to take us seriously. THIS DOES NOT HELP. Yes, Steele is an idiot and maybe a bit deranged, but trying to put a public collar on the first black RNC Chair when we are desperately trying to appeal to blacks is NOT A GOOD IDEA." :crazy:

And I don't know which is funnier from that Beckel article. This line - "He has a disarming and gifted television personality and an uncanny ability to make the most unreasonable arguments sound rational." or this one - "Steele faces challenges, perseveres, and succeeds." He's got those first two components of that second sentence down, but we're still waiting on that third one. :)
