No-can-do, partner.
That was no stunt, and the damage control is sadly lacking. When your man begged Milbank to not use his name, he blew it. I'm sure you know that Bush letting him put his best face on it, but come on. I know you have a job to do, but that kind of publicity he didn't need or want.
He should have stood behind his words with Milbank, or at least told him that the comments were out of context. It was a character moment, and he failed. You probably already know that support for Steele is drying up, and that party operatives are NOT pleased by how he handled this.
What he ought to do, is give ONE last interview, where he simply admits to blowing it. He needs to give people a reason to respect him. This morning it was "out of context", this afternoon, "it was a joke". Now, Bush is his "Homeboy"?!?
Come on.
One thing that kills campaigns is the inability to admit mistakes. Ask Katherine Harris.
