The Tyranny of Small, Featureless Men.

I'm not ready to annoint Michael Steele as head of the RNC, any more than I am ready to endorse Sarah Palin for President in 2012.

This, however, is a portrait of the Republican Party, and to say that it falls short of greatness is something of an understatement:

As to the new chair, don’t pay any attention to people who aren’t on the RNC,” he told me. “This is not a good thing, but the current RNC believes only one of their own should be chair. Maybe a dozen have a clue politically — and that’s being very kind. None (as chairman) could be an ideas leader or command the substantive respect of Republican senators or representatives.”

If Michael Steele isn't a member of the RNC by Tuesday, you're all a bunch of idiots.
