RNC Chair Dismisses His GOP Critics As "Mice"
posted by John Nichols on 03/11/2009 @ 2:06pm



Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele says he has a secret two-stage plan to reform and transform the party that has been battered by the voters in the last two election cycles.

He's not revealing any details.

But perhaps we can speculate.

Stage One: Get in a fight with the party's most prominent media ally.

Steele accomplished this by describing radio personality Rush Limbaugh as an "entertainer" who peddles "ugly" and "incendiary" extremism. Limbaugh got wind of the chairman's heresy. Steele apologized and begged to be forgiven.

Stage Two: Get in a fight with party leaders in Congress.

In an interview with syndicated columnist Cal Thomas, which was published today, Steele griped about congressional Republicans who have criticized his, er, leadership.

Steele suggested the criticism had nothing to do with his as yet undisplayed skills and everything to do with the fact that he has cut RNC payments to GOP congressional elections committees from $4 million a piece for the House and Senate operations to $1 million a piece.

"The mice who are scurrying about the Hill are upset because they no longer have access to the cheese, so they don't know what's going on," grumbled the party boss.

What does anyone want to bet that another apology will be forthcoming?

What does anyone want to bet that calls will continue to mount for Steele's replacement by a competent -- or, at least, somewhat less embarrassing -- RNC chair?

1. Then again it might be his skin color that is the root cause behind

the problems he's having with the rest of the party. The GOP doesn't like black people.

2. Very true.....but the constant making statements and apologizing makes it all the worse.

3. Quiet! You're exposing Project W!

Dang, time to move on to Project X, I guess.

Shoot.

4. Maybe he is a wanna-bee poster boy/puppet trying to appeal to a market he does not understand

GOP seems to be running a focus group test for marketing with all the bozos they are showcasing of late.

5. His ego is fantastic !!

Quite in the literal sense, too. And there's a good part of the ammunition for their circular firing squad.

Agreed, it's as if he's a plant. He's done nothing but keep the GOP in the fringe. How I hope he fights and fights some more to hold onto his seat !!

Similarly, the huge ego of one of their other high-profile "token" figures (read: non-white/male/xtian) also cost them dearly - and yes, that would be the now-almost-finally-invisible Sarah P.

Keep 'em comin' GOP !!
