NEW ORLEANS -- Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who has come under fire for his lavish spending, told GOP activists Saturday that he has taken responsibility for his "mistakes" and is now ready to "move on."
In a speech to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Steele alluded to the controversy sparked by his committee paying a nearly $2,000 bill at a sex-themed nightclub in Los Angeles that led to at least one state party chairman calling for his resignation.
"Now I'll be the first to admit I've made mistakes and it's been incumbent on me to take responsibility, shoulder the burden, make necessary changes, and move. We've all had to do that from time to time," he said, drawing applause.
"But the one mistake we cannot make is to lose this November," he added.
The outspoken and flamboyant Steele has been a lightning rod for criticism since taking the job last year. But the criticism escalated after recent revelations of Steele spending thousands of dollars on private jets and the RNC picking up a $1,946 tab that a group of young Republicans ran at a risqué Los Angeles Voyeur nightclub on Jan. 31.

RNC = DNC with an R.
Resign, Steele...if you care about your country; resign.
“some people are uncomfortable with my streetwise style”
Sounds like he never left the Democrat Party.
The Pubbies are just right-wing Leftists.
Hey Steele,
In Feudal Japan, there was a way to regain lost honor from one’s shameful acts....

Excellent point.
