The Crude Calculation To Install A Black Man As RNC Chairman To Cover Themselves From #adp01 Blatant Racism Directed At President Obama, is Backfiring on The Faces The GOP Ding-Bats

POLITICO: GOP leaders, in a private meeting last month, delivered a blunt and at times heated message to RNC Chairman Michael Steele: quit meddling in policy.

The plea was made during what was supposed to be a routine discussion about polling matters and other priorities in House Minority Leader John Boehner’s office. But the session devolved into a heated discussion about the roles of congressional leadership and Steele, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting. [ READ MORE ]

Lee Hockstader writes for The Washington Post: Steele, Back to Not Thinking About Policy — GOP leaders told the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, to quit meddling in policy. The story is remarkable not only for its detailed depiction of top congressional Republicans slapping down their own party?s nominal leader, but also for the suggestion that Steele, never one to get his hands too dirty in actual substance, got burned for appearing to have done just that.

Before he got comfortable on the Sunday morning chat shows in his current job, Steele was famous mainly for having said, in the midst of his dismal, substance-averse and losing campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2006, that the race was “not about issues.” Being a senator from Maryland was really more about leadership style, according to Steele, who never met an issue he bothered to master — or even read up on very closely. And now GOP leaders are commanding him to return to what he does best — not thinking about policy.

His comment, in its inadvertent candor, was the most revealing thing Steele said during that campaign, in which he distinguished himself not so much as blindly ignorant about the issues as utterly disdainful of them. Pressed on virtually any subject — energy, the environment, foreign affairs, health care — his stock response was that he would get “all the players in the room” before deciding what to do. As The Post wrote at the time, the man would have made a great meetings coordinator.

As the Republican Party figurehead, however, Steele has attracted attention mainly for his knack for the bizarre remark, the unguarded comment and the wacky observation, all of which he glosses over with a back-slapping bonhomie that Republicans hope translates through the camera as charisma.
