Need any more proof that Michael Steele is the head of the GOP in name only?

Capitulating to critics on the Republican National Committee, embattled Republican Party Chairman Michael S. Steele has signed a secret pact agreeing to controls and restraints on how he spends hundreds of millions of dollars in party funds and contracts, The Washington Times has learned. <...>

Under nearly constant fire from conservatives since his Jan. 30 election, Mr. Steele last Wednesday accused the resolution's proponents of a power grab "scheme." It looked like an impasse, with a showdown - and a possible no-confidence vote in Mr. Steele - coming at a special meeting called for May 20.

But closed-door negotiations between Mr. Steele and his representatives and Mr. Pullen and the dissident group reached an accord. It represents the first time in memory that rebel members of the Republican Party's national governing body have successfully taken on the party's historically powerful national chairman and his loyalists.

6. Michael Steele doesn't want

to lose his chance to yap on tv no matter how many chains he's gotta wear. That's the impression he makes with me.

The repuke party is big tent for masochists of all stripes.

[Ikonoklast]

7. Shhhh! He doesn't know he's *b l a c k*.

No one in the Republic party knows how to tell him. They figure after kicking him a round a bit, he'll figure things out sooner or later.

Steele was only a stunt that fooled no one. Like Palin.

12. Steele planned his own Emasculation -- Can't you see it?

Don't be naively taken in.

Remember this one?

Steele: I'm a cause and effect kind of guy, so if I do something there's a reason for it. Even, it may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, a logic behind it.

Q: It's all strategic.

Steele: It's all strategic.


Steele is playing us. This is evil master planning by Mikey folks....BEWARE. Lock and load.... :patriot:

14. The Emperer has no clothes and no clue

So they've finally learned that he has no clue how to do this job, and they've taken away the purse-strings.

Soon, they're gonna downgrade him from Chairman to gaffer-in-chief.

[Union Yes]

15. I wish the GOP would be nicer to my fave Rethug, Steele.

He's doing such a fabulous job of bringing the Rethugs back to national prominence.

Hip-Hop+GOP was fucking sheer brilliance.

:rofl:

Steele-The gift that keeps on giving.
