Steele a ‘Disaster’ as Head of RNC, Rollins Says
By Anna Palmer, CQ-Roll Call


Republican strategist Ed Rollins today called Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele a washout as party leader.

“Michael Steele has failed miserably,” Rollins said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” noting the RNC’s dismal fundraising numbers and inability to articulate a message for the upcoming midterm election.

“Obviously, he’s been a disaster,” Rollins said.

Still, Rollins said he didn’t believe Steele would make a material difference in the midterm election. Rollins pointed to another “Face the Nation” guest, Ed Gillespie, and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour , both former RNC chairmen, as picking up the party mantle by raising money to get Republicans the resources they need to pick up seats in November.

Rollins’ long GOP résumé includes a stint in Ronald Reagan’s administration and serving as national campaign chairman for Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid.

4. Where he was a disaster was as Maryland's Lt Gov.

Like some other posters here, I think that he's doing a great job at the RNC!

8. 'The gift that keeps on giving' Remarkably, Steele said that about HIMSELF in an

interview with David Corn of Mother Jones 15 months ago--see http://motherjones.com/politics/2009/05/steele-im-gift-keeps-giving .

What a screw-up!

10. Steeley Mike is just a typical Chickenhawk Republicon FAIL Freak

Rollins can whine all he wants. It changes nothing. Steeley Mike is a compleat Republicon. He is just doing what other Republicons do. FAIL & Flail. Trying to cause America to FAIL in the same way that the Republicon Party has FAILED.

Rather than pull themselves up out of the pit of FAIL, Republicons try to drag everyone else down into it, so they won't look quite so pathetic by comparison.

So Rollins can just shut his whiney pie hole. Americans know the score.
