Faced with a smart, well-spoken African American media star as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee ...

Reality:

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.... After far too many foot-in-mouth controversies, RNC Chairman Michael Steele has reportedly "called a halt to his television appearances" and "curtailed national media interviews," in order to focus his energies on internal work at party headquarters.

That seems wise. The more Steele spoke, the more he embarrassed himself. The less we see of Steele, the happier the Republican establishment will be with his "leadership."

Except, there's a catch to all of this: Steele did some interviews before he decided to pull back, and they're still being published.

Could someone get Gary Abernathy a dictionary? He used the wrong words.

Fixed it.
