National Review speculates it's Michael Steele:

Hmmm. That line from an unnamed GOP Senate candidate sounds familiar

I'm not saying that I know the unnamed Republican Senate candidate that is referred to in Dana Milbank's column, and is being discussed in the Corner.

But a smart guy told me to look hard at a certain quote from the candidate, and I noticed something.

From today's Milbank column:

The candidate looked the part of the contender, wearing a monogrammed shirt, his French cuffs sprouting cuff links coordinated with his necktie. He ate carefully, removing the gelatinous yolk from the four-minute egg in his salad. But he spoke with little caution as he ladled a heaping portion of criticism on his own party.

"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."

From a Robert Novak column, back on May 29:

But at Prince George's Community College with Principal Myrick at his side, [Republican Lt. Gov. Michael S.] Steele whacked President Bush's educational policies (especially defunding support for low-income college students). In his brief remarks, he could not find anything favorable to say about the president.

He was even tougher on Bush in talking to me: "In the eyes of blacks, [Hurricane] Katrina was a 9/11 event. You didn't fly over 9/11. You got on the ground in the rubble. You should have been on the ground for Katrina." Republican regulars don't mind this sort of talk. They know Steele, their former Republican state chairman, from fish fries all over the Free State. He can say whatever he wants to score a historic victory of national proportions.

I'm just sayin'.

I hope it is Linc Chaffee. It could not be Senator Santorum, Senator DeWinn, Senator (Montana), and I know that Rep Harris would never so I believe that everyone is right about Linc Chaffee. My question to him is why he did not give his name? I would think in a liberal state it would not matter as much. Is he just a skunk or something? I believe in standing up to what you believe whether I agree with it or not. For example, I can't stand Barney Frank up in Mass I don't agree with a single issue that he does but at least when th e dribble comes out of his mouth he means it. I now put Senator Chaffee below my respect for Frank (which is negative to zero). Can you imagine Chaffee's respect level...below pond scum.
