I take all these points, Jeff. But here's the difference between Haley Barbour and Michael Steele: if Barbour's book came out in 1996, that was two years after the 1994 elections. If Steele had anything like that kind of success under his belt, I think he'd be getting less grief for his extracurricular activities.

And it's cumulative - don't forget the rather unseemly speaking fees.

Plus, Haley Barbour already had gravitas - over and above the 1994 elections - that anchored his character.

Steele is a palpable putz.

Grzmlyk:
This means that he's futzing and putzing in his RNC job. Did you know he claims that he didn't seek the job? Is that like Elmer Fudd saying to Daffy Duck that he was sorry that he killed him when he shot him?
