Steele should step down for good of the nation
By MONA CHAREN

At this moment, the Republican Party needs more than ever to present a sober, serious and ethical face to the public. Voyeur was the last straw. It would be an unselfish gesture for Steele to step aside.
How to put this politely? Michael Steele is a man of considerable talent — it’s just that he conspicuously lacks those required for his present position. He’s energetic, personable and articulate. But those are not the qualities most required of a party chairman. The job demands an administrator, a behind-the-scenes schmoozer and a tactician. Showboating is a hindrance. It’s a job that requires the talents of a stage manager, whereas Steele likes to be the star.
At a time when the Republican Party is the indispensable vehicle for thwarting the disastrous policies of the Obamaites, Steele is a costly distraction in more ways than one…
Charen lays it on a bit thick – but it is consistent with the hyper-inflated hyperbole of the right, that the continued existence of a (badly acting) black man would threatens the entire world’s destruction!
Damn – Where are the Martians when you need them?

I think what is more salient is who is NOT calling for his resignation, i.e. Sara Palin. Just as the GOP is “the indispensable vehicle for thwarting the disastrous policies of the Obamaites,” Steele is a necessary cloak for continued engagement with Tea Party elements.

I think Steele is toast, one way or another. Sarah, and the Tea Baggers have overplayed their hand – and by November, there is going to be a radical shift in public opinion. Even with the fight looming over the new Supreme Court nominee – it’s just impossible to maintain the level of vitriol spewed by the far right…
Without some pretty serious fallout.
