Good- he deserves it.

I think Dan Senor found out how Juan Williams feels on a typical Sunday Morning

“Michael Steele is a self-aggrandizing, gaffe-prone incompetent who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black…Of course the irony is he never would have been voted in as chairman of the Republican party were he not black.”

LOLOL!!

I know this is off topic but this is as good a place as any to mention it.

Mediaite got a shout-out on Fox News Watch for this funny and clever headline:

“Sexy Russian Spy Captures Media’s Attention Because Sexy Russian Spies Capture Media’s Attention”

It brought the chuckles.

Good job, Jon.

Wow, the difference when a republican black man steps in it versus when a democrat black man does. Obama is clearly incompetent, and yet, if you criticize him you are a racist, but if you criticize Steele it’s valid.

Typical double standards.

FIFY

Another black republican the racist liberal press is hyping a story, in order destroy him . The press is f-ing sad, they pick and choose stories that benefit and advance their racist —all- minorities-must -be -democrat agenda.

I don’t not agree with everything Steele says , that being said , he is 100% more intelligent than the trained parrot of the DNC Tim Kaine , he is beyond laughable .

* damn I type too fast.. My grammar is horrible [ lol ]

Ipad’s predictive text sucks ! * apologies *

Happy 4th everybody!

Perhaps Steele was hired under the Republican “big tent theory” which they have been accused of in the past of not following. Perhaps that was a quota that made the Republican party “user friendly” to “voters” that aren’t apparently white, un-educated, toothless inbreds. Maybe the guy passed an interview process and wanted the job.

Steele has his own agenda (speaking tours) and if he gets out of line with the consensus of the people he represents; there is every reason why he should be asked to step down. That has nothing to do with race.

In business, this happens all the time….I believe the word is “hubris”.

I can definitely be accused of being a RINO and some of it may even be justified. But, in business (or politics) I don’t look at race, gender or age in judging someone’s job effectiveness. I just look at the bottom line. Is the person performing their job to the defined requisites upon which they were hired?

It’s an open ended agreement.

On a separate note…kudos to Jon for his “Sexy Russian Spy” shout out and
@murf….how’s the IPad…interesting comment on the predictive text.

Lazzzio — Love it ! Just the predictive text feature ( similar to cell phone text messaging ) can be a pain ! Found a way to dis-enable it .

Yep. On the basis of effectiveness, he should be fired. But look out for the fight to see who’s agenda is pushed by the new Party Chairman. Shouldn’t the new party chairman be a teaparty person?

As Ms. Tucker ably detailed, it’s especially amusing to watch Republicans twist in the the wind with this guy when he was obviously a cynical affirmative action pick, much like Clarence Thomas I would add, where the only other criteria than skin color was a reactionary objection to any policy deemed too helpful to minorities.

I was surprised they didn’t pick Ken Blackwell, who demonstrated proper Republican loyalty in denying minorities access to the polls in 2004 in Ohio as Secretary of State, who clearly knows the secret Thomas Sowell anti-minority handshake; at least he seems sane.

You’ve just demonstrated that you’re mentally retarded.

@Jim R ….Ken Blackwell is actually someone that I know from Cincinnati. There is no question over the years he has played a reverse race card for his own agenda but never as a foil for the “white man”. Instead, he has, mostly asked to be judged on what he votes, legislates/enacts. We disagreed and we agree. Ken Blackwell has served Ohio and SW Ohio (Cincinnati) very well. I don’t think there would be any disagreement there.

I think Blackwell has his sights, politically, on higher office…Governor.

@valkyrie101…I’m not sure who a “new” RNC Chairman should represent. There is no question that the old guard is out of touch; but it is politics and with the 2010 elections coming up; difficult question when the goal is to retake Congress.

Wow, that sounds almost like pragmatism, lazzlo. If Steele goes, there will be a power vacum.

SW Ohio was always interesting for politics. Blackwell, Boehner and Rob Portman…there is a time bomb!

Yep…it is what it is…cut your losses later. Emphasize the positive.

RINO = pandering to the Left in order to ” think “you will be a accepted . NewsFlash — the media uses and abuses you more — look at Joe Lieberman

IOW : Do not and I repeat do not– cave into the so called bi-partisanship of Left , they are full of shit — it’s all or nothing with those hypocrites

@murf…the way I look at acronyms in general is that other people define things they can’t explain.

I can always find common ground.

True Republicans make it clear — you are either for or against traditional American values — there is NO in the middle.

The we agree to disagree…I don’t pander to anyone.

Sorta the beauty of freedom.

It’s actually a good intellectual debate. I agree and disagree with people.

I’m an individual that refuses to get pigeon-holed.

I don’t carry a gun…but just for fun and giggles:

A blogger from Daily Kos actually (bizarrely) upholding the 2nd ammendment.

I do look at both side of the point.

Gotta work on the HTML more.

Spoken like a true Repug. Just say NO to everything, even if it is good for the country.

We don’t say no to everything, just really fricking stoooopid shit. The left has absolutely NOTHING that is good for this country. For Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia perhaps but nothing good for this country.

What the hell has the Repugs said yes to since Obama came into office?

Unless you are a fucking communist, he has not offered anything of value. And you’ll note, the rest of the country (no just repubs) are figuring that out. Also, it should be noted, he doesn’t need any repub votes, what with the majority in the house, senate, and white house does he???

Ohhhhhh, that’s right, he can’t even get his own side to vote with him….

Do the dems not have the majority and the ability to use reconciliation and even “deem” as well?

timzank, you ever hear of a fillibuster? Go educate yourself.

That bomb is about to go off – Portman is behind, Boehner is twisting in the wind – Blackwell is irrelevant.

Afghanistan.

If the proposals put forth were sound, it wouldn’t be a problem for the MAJORITY party to pick up 2 “squishy” republicans.

McCain and Graham are using this for free media time, neither is worthy of a GOP position but Steele is! Afghanistan is Obama’s Vietnam and Steele was right. Obama campaigned on the “end the war platform” and that has worked out any better as the waste on stimulus, the failed economy, and job losses since he took office. Petraeus is trying the art of being an Obama sock puppet, so what’s to win? It is their country, culture, religion and our interference and loss of U.S. soldiers. As a Vietnam veteran we need to get over this idea that we are out to “win” anything in the world and use the wasted military money to secure our southern U.S. border! And by the way, has the U.S. tried and executed the Ft. Hood murderer yet, guess we have lots “to win” over here before we continue to mess up Afghanistan and Iraq!

Hey fool, it was BHO’s economic adviser who said it was robust in March 2009!!!

Why gosh, I didn’t even know 2.3 total- hours- in- combat “Hero” McShame & his traveling dwarf bed-companion had returned from their latest dainty shopping tour in downtown Iraq. Recall the previous one, w 100s of tanks & concrete barricades & 10,000 troops sealing off the area? The stuff of REAL Murcuhn Repug heroes. And the unwashed masses voted for him anyway. How quickly we forget. Praise Geesussah!

McCain is so intellectually dishonest and opportunistic it drives me nuts. He’s not one to criticize others for gaffes, Captain Amnesty himself.

Actually he said the fundamentals of our economy are still strong. Just curious.. of whose economy was he speaking of? Only he would know…… or not. He tends to forget a lot.

Before we fire Steele, we should wait and see what the true leader of the RNC has to say. What do you say Rushbo.
