After talks with CNN and Fox News, the former head of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, has just teamed up with MSNBC instead, as a political analyst — effective immediately.
Steele, a frequent guest on MSNBC, will appear regularly as part of the network’s analysts and contributors, according to a network news release.
The former RNC head, lost popularity with Conservatives, most of which make up Fox’s audience. Instead of venturing into Republican campaign headquarters, Fox News, he’s going the ‘Lean forward’ route.
In a statement, Steele said:
It’s an honor to contribute and engage in the dialogue on MSNBC…I look forward to engaging a diverse audience to share insights and analysis about the people, issues, and events shaping America’s future. I’m sure our discussions will be both informative and a bit spirited!”
Spirited indeed. Let’s take a look at some of Steele’s qualifications.
“The problem that we have with this president is we don’t know him. He was not vetted, folks… He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office.”
– Steele, forgetting President Obama actually won a national election.
My favorite:
Could you help a brother out? No more national conventions with 36 people of color in the room.”
– Steele, urging Florida Republicans to send delegates to the Republican National Convention who “look like Florida.”
Keith Olbermann leaves, Michael Steele joins the team — just another day in Bizarro World. Maybe Harold Camping was correct.
