I think Steele is just reflecting what he heard inside the beltway bubble about Rush’s speech. He needs to start thinking for himself and get down to work.
Maybe moving the RNC out west would help.
I give him one more chance, just one though.
I think you're right. I'd bet that at the time he made the statements about Rush, he hadn't even seen Rush's speech. He was given his opinion by others, and regretably believed them. Let's see if he does so again...
