“I tell them to get a life. That’s old Washington, that’s old ways, and I don’t represent that, and that kills them.
“I’m telling them and I’m looking them in the eye and say I’ve had enough of it. If you don’t want me in the job, fire me. But until then, shut up. Get with the program or get out of the way.”
- RNC chair Michael Steele, on ABC radio today. Steele also gave himself “a solid B” for his efforts as a first-year party chairman in 2009.

“We will probably hear leaks about an undisclosed Romney ailment — only to wonder why Obama, alone of major candidates in recent decades, has never released his medical records. We should expect to hear that Romney got a B or C in some college course — only to remind us that Obama, alone of major candidates, does not want anyone looking at his college transcripts. Do we really wish to hear how an admitted prep-school serial use of beer, marijuana, and occasional coke, and a history of skipped classes, translated into admission into Occidental and then Columbia? We will hear another 19th-century Romney family polygamy story only to be reminded of a 20th-century Obama counterpart. We will be lectured about a fiery Mormon bishop only to hear it trumped by another racist rant from Jeremiah Wright.”
Yeah, well, you're killing me, Mr. Steele. You supported Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23rd simply because she had an "R" after her name. You're sending campaign money to the Northern Mariana Islands, and essentially ignoring the game-changing potential of the Scott Brown campaign in Massachussetts. What, exactly, is your program that we should get with, and what part of it is not "old Washington.?"
