The P O W E R schtick doesnt work here either. Steele is not some power mad politician.

Steele shouldn’t have made two remarks, in the heat of actually defending Rush, that he shouldn’t have.

They should both move on.

"Power schtick" Right, you are the one living in a dream world if you don't think this has everything to do with P O W E R and control. Power over the GOP and control over what the "party" believes/stands for and the direction he wants to take it: Steele wants a "new and improved" "Hip Hop GOP" that cooperates with Obamessiah and attracts those who wear their pants around their ankles and want nothing from America but a free paycheck from Uncle DOLE.

He has to attack Rush because Rush and other outspoken representatives of the conservative base of the GOP are the only thing standing in Steels way from the GOP being Obamessiah's doormat, a position Steele seems all too ready to assume.

It isn't a schtick, it is reality.
