RNC member calls squabble with Party Leader Rush Limbaugh "a horror show"
WASHINGTON - A member of the Republican National Committee called yesterday for Michael S. Steele to step down as the party's national chairman, a job that Maryland's former lieutenant governor has held for less than five weeks.

The demand by Dr. Ada Fisher came in the wake of Steele's recent squabble with talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh over Republican leadership. Fisher termed the flap a "Republican horror show" and predicted that donations to the party from conservatives would dry up as a result, according to The Hill, the Washington newspaper that first reported the contents of her e-mail to fellow committee members.

Fisher of Salisbury, N.C., is one of three black members of the Republican National Committee. Note: Count 'em. Three! She could not be reached yesterday for comment.

1. People pay good money to see horror shows..
I'm not one of 'em, but I have family members who are.

Although I must admit this is one horror show I've been enjoying.

5. Sounds more like an opportunist at work:
""Ada Fisher's been sending poisonous e-mails about Michael Steele on a weekly basis," Priebus said. "I think most RNC members know exactly what her opinion is of Michael Steele and probably hit the delete button after the first two paragraphs."
