Here’s Mark Steyn on Michael Steele:

In two brief soundbites, Mr. Steele has managed to suggest to his own party base that he has a lazy disposition that reflexively shares the liberal biases, and to allow the wider world to portray him as a craven squish. This is not encouraging. At the very minimum, he does not appear ready for primetime.

Yes.

And Steyn’s assessment is doubly reinformced by Steele’s failure — then and now — to rebut D.L. Hughley’s “Nazi Germany” slur against GOP conventioneers.
