This guy is absolutely right, and I vote for Republicans should shut up. Steele is spinning a lot of plates and trying to get Republicans elected. As long as, whenever there is a choice, he supports the more conservative primary candidate, then he should be left alone.

I knew we were in trouble when the first thing that he did was to redecorate his office. Back in ’78 we were running Reagan’s state campaign out of a f’n Denny’s. We didn’t have a lot of money but we were doing what we were doing because it was important. We had the corner booth reserved because the owner was on our side. It would expand and contract as the day went on but it was our central meeting place. Some of the guys didn’t have enough for a cup of coffee but we kept a prepaid tab and they never knew that it was coming out of our pockets. When the tab ran out the owner would look the other way.

I knew we were in trouble with Clinton when all those hippy freaks in basement offices were working into the wee hours of the morning on pizza and coffee and wearing sweats. We can wax indignant ‘till the cows come home about the drug use but they were there to do the job because it was important to them.

I don’t care how marvelous the interface is on the RNC website. I want guys who will work out of a basement in a warehouse in Trenton and use tin cans and strings because it is important. More important than eating, more important than sleeping, more important than impressing that blue eyed blond in the next cubicle. I don’t want sinecures, I want results.
