The clown show/multi-car pileup that is Micheal Steele continues:
Randy Pullen, the RNC's elected treasurer, former RNC General Counsel David Norcross and three other former top RNC officers have presented Mr. Steele with a resolution, calling for a new set of checks and balances on the chairman's power to dole out money
Washington Times
The Pullen resolution would make it a written rule that contracts of $100,000 or more be open to competitive bidding; that all checks be signed by two RNC officers; that party staff be prohibited from signing on behalf of an officer; and that all contracts be reviewed and approved by the members of the RNC executive committee.
I can't help but smile when I think of Michael Steele when he said this:
D. Lemon: Is there any professional jealousy?
M. Steele: Not on my part. What would I be jealous of?
D. Lemon: He's President of the United States.
M. Steele: And I'm Chairman of the RNC. So whats your point? We both have leadership responsibilities and roles.
Is this a man in over his head or what? He said this his god awful failure as a politician and as a leader is no different from a person who may prove to be the dominant figure of the early 21st Century! I can't stop laughing at this guys entire existence.
For a review of Chairman Steele's career so far, read this retrospective.
In less than 100 days, Steele led the GOP to defeat in what should have been an easy pick-up in a House special election, lost a Senator to a Party switch, became the subject of no-confidence vote rumors, embarrassed himself over and over again, and convinced America that Rush Limbaugh controls the Republican Party. I'll give Steele considerable credit - one must keep extremely busy to fit that many "strategic" gaffes into less than 100 days.
