Let's play "Guess the Republican". Here are some clues:

The candidate is "immersed in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country."

When asked if he wants Bush to campaign for him says, "To be honest with you, probably not."

The candidate wore "a monogrammed shirt, French cuffs sprouting cuff links coordinated with his necktie."

The candidate was eating steak.

"In 2001, we were attacked and the president is on the ground, on a mound with his arm around the fireman, symbol of America," he said, between bites of hanger steak and risotto. "In Katrina, the president is at 30,000 feet in an airplane looking down at people dying, living on a bridge. And that disconnect, I think, sums up, for me at least, the frustration that Americans feel."

Did the article say this is Chafee because I don't think it is. I think it's Michael Steele of Maryland who already has called Katrina a "monumental failure."

But what did he really want the president to do, go stand on the flood waters? This and 9-11 were two entirely different events. New Orleans was lawless and in the grip of violent gangs after Katrina. What was Bush suppose to do, get in the middle of a crossfire?? His going to NOLA the day after the hurricane would have only hampered relief efforts. Bush stood on the pile of debris in New York City I believe 3-4 days after the 9-11 attacks. He was in New Orleans 3-4 days after Katrina. So where's the difference??

Steele is just pandering to the stupidity of Maryland blacks who have been victimized by a lying media. Why not educate them on what Bush and the government has done for the people of New Orleans to the tune of billions of dollars instead of joining in with a litany of mostly empty gripes?? Because it's impossible to preposition troops and equipment in the path of a hurricane and because the governor and mayor down there got in the way and hobbled relief efforts means we should forget all the billions of my money that's been spent on a place that was a disaster zone years before Katrina ever hit?? I'm REALLY sick of it.

The compost can't keep a national secret, but it will protect it's sources and keep a secret when it comes to a dem mole in the republican party! Is this made up or what? I hate ambiguous journalism (if ya want to call this waste of words journalism)

Jeez, for a Republican Senator to anonymously bash the President to a Washington Post colunist shows even less balls than the minimal amount of balls exhibited by a typical U.S. Senator.

Of course, this is assuming that Milbank didn't just make up this entire story out of whole cloth to begin with.

Elect Laffey.

Strategery?

Just for information, Rush just said he received a super secret e-mail from somebody at the White House and they have said they now know it is Michael Steele. Rush did not say much else about it. He is taking a phone call now from a Sargeant...

[SuziQ]

Hmmm. Not a very principled person, if he's dissing the President, anonymously, yet gladly taking the financial support from the Republican Party.

""If this race is about Republicans and Democrats, I lose."

You're a loser no matter what happens to your precious seat of power.

You're so strong in your convictions you won't even put your name behind them.

We need leaders, not cowardly power mongers.

[DM1]

Could be someone like Kennedy in Minnesotta or Steele in MD. Where Katrina was mentioned i am more apt to think it was Steele but this is just a shot in the dark.

Sen. Bayh: Middle Class Leaving Democrats in Droves

"We may consider ourselves the party of the middle class, but too many middle-class Americans no longer consider us their party," the Indiana Democrat said Monday. "They have left the Democratic Party in droves - costing us the last two presidential elections and the last six congressional elections. If we don't learn some lessons, we'll lose in 2006 and 2008 as well,"

[Lancey Howard]

It's Steele
