Steele called Limbaugh “a very valuable conservative voice for our party.

I believe that Rush will, in all likelihood, accept the apology; and if that's the case, so shall I.

I maintain high hopes for Steele, and I'll bet that he makes no such errors re Rush (or us) in the future.

My guess is after that, the RNC is going to get a lot of EMPTY envelopes when they send out their next fundraising letter.

You have it exactly right.

Now, if only our side would quit taking the bait.

Michael Steele is the one that took the bait and helped the democrats with this whole thing.They have been baiting for weeks now..surely Steele is not that clueless.

Sorry...but we need to have this argument now between socialist rinos and conservatism.

He just figured that out in the last 24 hours?

Of course he will. For all his faults, and even after the ad hominem attacks by the left, he remains what his parents raised him to be - a gentleman and fine American.

Tell that to Michael Steele.

Yes, I think Steele was maybe caught off guard. Live and learn, and hopefully, he’ll be more careful next time. The moral of the story for Steele is to never underestimate the deviousness of a lefty interviewer.

Actually, I wasn't any more offended by Steele's stumble than I am at any Pub who snaps at the bait to be "conciliatory" or "collegial."

I think Steele should learn not to take the bait. Maybe now, he has!

THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO LIKE US. PLEASE, ACCEPT THIS FACT.

Please let’s treat this like Sarah Palin’s subpar interview with Couric. As most of us were disgusted that Sarah was made out by the MSM to be a moron on the basis of one interview let us not judge Steele based on this one episode. But he’s definitely now on notice but let’s not desert him now.

Dear Mr. Steel:

You have only ONE job!

It is not to be friends with news readers and national pundits.

It is not to get along with democrats!

It is to articulate the Republican message and defeat democrats at every turn!

Do that and you will fare well don’t do that and you will quicly become just another failure in a long line of them.

Steele should already know. We don’t have time for learning on the job. He ran because he said he was the best man for the position. If he’s not, he needs to step aside.

"Tell that to Michael Steele."


I would, if he would listen. ;o)

That being said, he's not the only one who takes the bait, and shoots us in the foot in the process.
