Steele in talks to join MSNBC
The Hill ^ | 5-20-11 | Emily Goodin

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele is in negotiations with MSNBC to be a political analyst, according to sources.

Steele would be a prominent Republican voice on a network known for its liberal television hosts. If the deal goes through, he would join the cable network in time to offer commentary on the 2012 elections.

Steele was ousted as head of the Republican Party in its January election. He signed on as a monthly columnist at The Root, an African-American news site owned by The Washington Post, earlier this month.

The former chairman has been a cable TV presence on several networks since leaving the RNC. The New York Post reported in January that Steele was in talks with Fox News and CNN about possible gigs.

He and NBC despise the GOP.

Sounds like a match.

MSNBC!?

Steele is coming out of the closet?

He’s not really a RINO?

He’s a full fledged LIBERAL?

He has been signaling; he can be bought.

What is the price of a traitor? We shall learn.

Remember how Ken Hamblin used to refer to guys like Steele as a “quota black”? I sure miss the “Black Avenger”.

The only was a Republican can be on the payroll of MSNBC is if he has long since abandoned conservative principles and is ready and willing to trash Republican politicians and their party on a regular basis as the MSNBC ‘Token Republican’. Welcome to MSNBC, Mr. Steele.

Like FORMER CONSERVATIVE congressman Joe Scarborough? You wouldn't want to end up like him would you?

Three tokens, actually, to go along with their lineup of angry, white leftists:

1. MSNBC Lawn Jockey

2. MSNBC Minstrel

3. MSNBC House N*****
