Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele appeared on Fox this afternoon to talk about the RNC's newly relaunched web site, which has taken heat today and been down intermittently, presumably from a bump in traffic.
"It's not even really a web site," Steele said. "It's a new platform for us."
To those that have been mocking the site by saying just that, he said it's "a beta site."
Video after the jump.
"So we're working out a lot of the kinks and the bugs. So the Democrats can have some fun," he said.
Steele reminded the host, Shep Smith, that when he ran for chairman he promised to "take this party to the streets."
"We've done that, I think, in a very creative way," he said, adding that the site is "a new tool to communicate the new GOP."

GOP Posts Password, Admin Instructions on New Web Site »
By Michael McAuliff
Talk about transparency!
In their haste to get their new Web site up and running, the Republican Party has posted online a slew of things you wouldn’t normally expect.
Such as instructions on how to operate the Web site.
In checking to see who was in the New York State section of the site, (in addition to the other gaffes people have noted) we noticed three members. One was the “rnc-admin.”
Curious, we clicked. And there, we found, and downloaded, the “ForumsAdministrationDocumentation,” the “ForumsUserGuide,” and the “Admin_Guide,” among other things.
Oh, and Chairman Steele? You might want to have someone change that gmail account log-in and password.
