Steele Open To Presidential Run, Says Limbaugh Spat Planned

Is it time for RNC Chairman Michael Steele to say ’sayanora’? I’m starting to think so in light of his latest embarrassing and contradictory statements. [H/t Sam Stein, HuffPo--what can I say, that's where I found the story!]
From Stein column:
Speaking with CNN’s Don Lemon [video at link above]: Steele said he “would think about” running for the White House but only if “that is where God wants me to be at that time.”
Discussing his tiff with Rush Limbaugh in which he called Rushbo “incendiary and ugly,” Steele contended that it was all a part of a grand “strategic” plan. I’m very introspective about things. I’m a cause-and-effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there’s a reason for it… It may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there is a logic behind it,” he said. “I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they’re with me but really isn’t. It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, where, you know, the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are,” Steele added. “It’s all strategic.”

No way that he can do any better than McCain, who is a proven loser.
He could not even carry a state, much less a country.

Does anyone honestly believe Steele’s comments about Rush were part of a master plan to run for president in 2010? Sorry, but Steele is an embarrassment. It’s time for him to go.

So IOW, his running for Chair had nothing to do with advancing a “conservative agenda”, but rather advance his “Presidential agenda”?. Steele is becoming a huge disappointment.

It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, where, you know, the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are,” Steele added. “It’s all strategic.”So conservatives are the enemy, Steele?
This idiot needs to be booted out of the RNC leadership NOW.

Steele contended that it was all a part of a grand “strategic” plan. THAT strikes a dead key on my piano and I doubt anyone is buying his song and dance. Can't wait to hear Limbaugh's take.
