15. As erronis said. No, just an opportunist.

I wrote to NBC News about michael steele. And of course the first guest on his show was that smug, snarky john feehery. YUCK. ANOTHER republi-CON!!! I turned it off then and there. Didn't come back til the hour was over.

Hey, if I want to watch republi-CONS, I know I can go to Pox Noise. They are reliably like that. But I do NOT expect that of MSNBC.

Wonder how far their ratings dumped for that time slot yesterday?

michael steele isn't just an opportunist. I suspect his own party didn't want him. Can't have GOP'ing while black. And they probably regard him as a RINO. If he were considered a valuable ex-RNC chair or GOP figure at all, he'd be on Pox. Probably with his own show.
