Yet another stalwart of the Republican Party shreds Michales Steele:

Add Ed Rollins to the list:

Obama finds world blames US

Unfortunately, my party continues to be distracted by internal squabbles among the House Republican leadership and the near-daily missteps of the new Republican National Chairman, Michael Steele.

Steele, who I think is a nice man, is becoming an embarrassment to himself and the party he leads.

Comparing his job to that of President Obama and stating that his attacks on Rush Limbaugh, a conservative icon, were strategic made many Republicans shake their head in dismay. Also, his now repeated talk about running for president reminds people who know him how badly he was defeated when he ran for the U.S. Senate two years ago.

And even though the cries for his resignation are getting louder by the blunder, he will probably survive. But his suggestion to a Republican fundraiser in Maryland Tuesday evening that the party faithful -- some of whom have criticized his erratic statements -- need to be more like him: "unconventional, unpredictable ... to do from time to time the unexpected" was pretty stupid, to say the least. Unfortunately, that is all we expect of him now.

His mantra of "Drill, baby, drill" is now being paraphrased by many party activists: "Quit, baby, quit!"

It is very unfortunate.

I don't think Steele will last the year he has no relevance to the right.
