Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Steele is 'Going Rogue' Fri Jan 08, 2010 at 09:20:04 AM PST

You know that book that Michael Steele wrote? The one that's giving him all sorts of troubles with party elders? The one that outlines the principles of the GOP? Turns out, nobody in the GOP knew he was writing it. Greg Sargent:

Top Republican Party leadership operatives on Capitol Hill were totally blindsided by RNC chair Michael Steele’s new book on the GOP’s route back to power, angering senior aides who thought they should have been consulted in advance and given a heads up about it, well-placed Republican sources tell me.

The charge is likely to further anger Steele’s critics, who say that he’s used the RNC perch to profit personally with paid speeches and a new book, with little regard to how it impacts the party, and at the expense of fundraising and other party duties.

GOP aides are irked that Steele set forth principles in his book for reviving the party without discussing them in advance or letting them know what was coming.

Adding more fuel to the fire: Steele spent $14 million in 2009 -- a non-election year -- depleting RNC coffers by two-thirds. Hahaha. Consider this yet another vote of confidence for Michael Steele as Chairman of the RNC...from those of us on the left

A follow-up to Bruno.

Come to think of it, I've never seen Steele and Cohen together at the same place at the same time.

10. I have said some horrible things about Michael Steele.

I would like to take a minute to apologize. Mr. Steele you're doing a great job no matter what the RNC says about you.
Just tell them a brotha has to get paid too.
