The typical profane, worn-out responses from Democrats without principle. Steele has no business leading a party that is supposed to be CONSERVATIVE. Real conservatives know this. Steele is NOT conservative and never has been. He wants to “fit in” with the so-called “cool” party…you know, the liberal Democrats who gave up on principle a long time ago.

After all that we’ve heard about the guy — for us West Coast types, mostly by courtesy of OW — it’s great news that he’s chosen the line of “Nothing in his life became him so well as the leaving of it.”

Compare this blessed end of political life with poor tragic John McCain, who once earned a reputation as a principled man and an honest broker, and one who, having been tortured, would not fall for “Do to them what They did to me” but was totally immovable in opposing it. All blown out his ass when it hurt his chances to get nominated for Big Cheese.

I know he deserves scorn and contempt, but when you’re almost as old as J McC, your sense of tragedy gets strengthened — crap, something ought to get strong — and in some moods I really do see it that way. Not Sophocles or Shakespeare; but might the story work in a less realistic medium (more frivolous, some would say), like opera? John Adams?

A contradiction of the Peter Principle. He doesn’t have a level of competence to be promoted above, ergo every promotion is to yet another soaring level of incompetence.

Orville Redenbacher must be doing very well right now.

Well… My respect for Steele goes up (especially when you include the ‘gay is not a choice’ I read elsewhere).

Too bad he will be kicked out. The “White’s Only” guy is setting up a no confidence vote against him.

Now I want him to stay and help moderate the GOP.

Balls of steel(e)…but apparently only one day a month (or so).

Or maybe he’s trying to pander to Democrats. He’s done for, baby.

Finally. Now we can get a nice Southern gentleman who patronizes whites only country clubs.

Well, at least we can give him a good mark for sensibility and independence, which we can also say marks him his ticket on the fast train back to Maryland.

If you’re going down anyway, why not in a ball of fire?

Holy shit!
No doubt in my mind, anymore; He’s trying to get fired.
