The Great Tea Party Rip-off

Excellent column by Frank Rich. Although many Republicans can't stand Michael Steele, they can't get rid of him, either. Funny how these political machinations sometimes reverse on you....it must have sounded great at the time ("Hey, let's appoint an African-American to be the head of the Republican National Committee" -- "Yeah, what a great idea! We'll get back the black vote!") OOPS!
