Quote of the Day: Steele Tripping on RNC Message and Operation

January 13, 2010 by JOE GANDELMAN, Editor-In-Chief 6 Comments

Our political quote of the day is the beginning of a must-read in The Daily Caller (Tucker Carlson’s new site) by James Richardson, who notes that RNC Chairman Michael Steele is proving to be MORE than a perpetual media sound byte machine. He’s also felt to be seriously tripping on RNC’s message and interfering with its smooth operation:

Defecting to the GOP Hill campaign committees after a series of high-profile blunders by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, veteran Republican bundlers and donors are expressing doubt in the Committee’s ability to capitalize on what political handicappers project will be a Democratic-hostile cycle.

Vaulting from one controversy to the next–each more embarrassing than the last for the national party apparatus that elected him last year–the embattled RNC chief may yet be weathering another significant loss to his roadmap for Republican success this fall: the mass exodus of staff who say Steele is “making the job harder” in the wake of his near-constant gaffing.

When Mr. Steele incites controversy, like calling Rush Limbaugh’s radio program “ugly” or suggesting Republicans are not yet ready to retake control of Congress, aides are forced to play interference for the chairman with party faithful and officials, with whom his relationship has been strained in recent months for obvious reasons. We have to “divert attention from getting our message out to placating party officials,” one senior RNC official said of the situation. “It’s all about the 168 [RNC voting members].”

Steele, around whom many rumors of ousting swirl, surprised many last week when he announced he had authored a political manifesto for a Republican renaissance.
Richardson offers some details about the controversy over Steele’s book.
