Last hired, first fired?
Wow, the brother has had the job for a month and there is already a call from a high-ranking Republican official that Michael Steele step down as chair of the Republican National Committee.
Granted, it’s been a rough month for Steele. I don’t think his “hip hop makeover” strategy for the Republican party has been well-received by the establishment of the party. To be fair, I clowned it too but, for different reasons, I suspect.
And, we saw how he got punked after crticizing Rush Limbaugh and felt compelled, for some reason, to apologize for not worshipping at the altar of Rush.
However, like I said, it’s only been a month, people. Can the man get some time to find his footing?
Apparently not.
The Hill is reporting that North Carolina’s Republican national committeewoman, Dr. Ada Fisher, has sent out an email to fellow RNC members claiming that he is “eroding confidence” in the GOP and asks that his transistion team encourage him to step down. Fisher goes on to say:
“I don’t want to hear anymore [sic] language trying to be cool about the bling in the stimulus package or appealing to D.L. Hughley and blacks in a way that isn’t going to win us any votes and makes us frankly appear to many blacks as quite foolish.”
Even worse, the email includes Michael Steele’s personal email address. I presume that this would allow those that co-sign to email him to directly to express their dissatisfaction.
The Republicans continue to eat their own. I’ll guess I grab my bucket of popcorn and continue to watch this horror movie play out.
