    This guy is a one man wrecking-ball.

    Well - I guess hiding debt is better than blowing cash at S&M lesbo bars, right?

    One is left wondering what Steele has on the rest of the GOP leadership, considering that he still has his job. For Democrats, Steele's the gift that keeps on giving.

    IIRC, his main competition for the job was a guy from SC who belonged to an all-white country club.

    What is so funny is that in its own desperate way the GOP is into "affirmative action" in a stupid way. The couple of percent of African Americans who support the GOP does not allow much to choose from; hence folks like Clarence Thomas and J.C. Watts and now Steele are promoted above their competency.

    Steele, Rubio, And Diaz-Balart Soften GOP’s Immigration Rhetoric On Spanish Language Television

    Earlier today, the Huffington Post’s Amanda Terkel reported that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele “distanced the Republican Party from SB-1070″ in an interview with Univision. Steele attempted to reassure Latino viewers that Arizona’s new immigration law is not “a reflection of an entire country, nor is it a reflection of an entire political party.” Wonk Room oberved that, over the past week, at least two other Republicans have appeared on Spanish-language television echoing Steele’s remarks: Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and Florida senatorial candidate Marco Rubio (R).

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HsunhP9N9L4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HsunhP9N9L4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Despite shying away from it in English-language press a couple weeks ago, Rubio took to the Spanish-language airwaves to unambiguously affirm that he does not support gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum’s (R-FL) efforts to bring SB-1070 to the state of Florida. Diaz-Balart also frowned on McCollum’s Arizona copycat bill in an interview with Al Punto’s Jorge Ramos. However, Diaz-Balart insisted that such efforts have “bipartisan support.” More specifically, Diaz-Balart stated outright that Sink has said she is in favor of SB-1070 and, that as governor, she and McCollum would be pretty similar on the issue. However, Wonk Room could only find evidence that suggests otherwise.

    All Michael Steele proves is that affirmative action can have some humorous consequences.
