| Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chairman, is hitting back at Reince Priebus, the current RNC chairman, on Monday after he took a jab at Steele for leaving him with a broken and bankrupt Republican Party in 2011. Steele fired back at Priebus by noting that he won the elections he was charged with winning whereas Priebus failed in that task. In a speech to the National Press Club, Priebus took a swipe at Steele saying that “both credit cards were suspended” when he took over as the party’s chairman in 2011. When asked if Steele “ruined the party” as chairman, Priebus replied, “I think the numbers speak

No wonder the party is suffering. With all this backbiting and sniping at each other no wonder there are problems. You know Andrea Mitchell had to be absolutely loving that. It plays right into the Democrats´ hands.

I have gained respect for Reince Priebus over the past few months. This pretty much shatters all that. I hope I´m getting through. These swipes are immensely destructive. I think Reagan understood this more than anyone else.
Oh, and as for Mr. Steele, it´s best to steer clear of Andrea Mitchell. She´s a liar. She doesn´t deserve the dignity of your attention or mine.

Priebus being reelected is a major disaster.
After his past performance, he should have been out of there. Allen West could whip the RNC into shape. Priebus can´t see the forest for the trees.

Michael Steele won nothing. I recall the day after Scott Brown won, Steele sent out a money grub crowing about how "we" won Massachusetts. Who is this "we" Mr. Steele? The RNC was ignoring Brown. The Tea Partiers and grass roots put him in office. You know, the ones you don´t like to be associated with.

The Republican Party has declared war on the TEA Party. If it´s war they want, it´s war they will get!
Don´t be fooled by the phony TEA Party candidates the Democrats and RINOs put up. Support REAL TEA Party candidates in local and statewide elections. Work tireless to rid the RINO infested Senate of the McCains and Gramnestys.

Steele also gifted his family members and close friends with super-duper salaries and expense accounts, among other irregularities. Priebus has not been any better.
Steele did just like McCain did after McCain suspended the campaign.......he showed up at all of the Tea Party rallies where he could milk off their actions.
Priebus has let the establishment again, call all of the shots in 2012 to remove the T.E.A. and Libertarians from any importance.
Neither of the two are worth a mole hill of salt.

As #6 said, Mr Steele won nothing in 2010. He flew around on private planes, stayed only at high end hotels, in other words enjoyed spending a lot of other people´s money. The Tea Party movement provided the momentum for that election and so many winners in the GOP.
Priebus is a good talker but not much of a doer. He should just make a plan, follow it, and keep quiet to the press.

Boston and Massachusetts law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday that federal agents left them in the dark on the growing warning signs about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the run-up to the Boston Marathon bombing. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis, in testimony on Capitol Hill, said his officers on a joint terrorism task force were never told about an explicit warning from the Russian government or about Tsarnaev´s travel to the Chechnya region last year. Davis said he would have liked to have known about that activity, and that it "absolutely" would have merited a second look at Tsarnaev.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It´s clear the ambassador himself who was slain is the one who was really begging for more security. Everybody understands it was rated as a facility that was extremely insecure. That´s one element. The other element is at the time of the attack, what happened? And I would ask another question, where was the commander in chief in all of this? The one man who can authorize and order troops to move above everybody and instantly is commander in chief. Where was he for these hours when the fight was raging? Has anybody asked it?

Reid said that Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) gave GOP members of his committee an additional two weeks to review Perez’s answers to written questions.

Yesterday´s dramatic congressional testimony about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. interests in Benghazi, Libya convincingly corroborated what was widely reported within days of the attack: that senior American officials on the ground knew immediately, despite the Obama administration´s storyline to the contrary, that the assault did not arise out of a "spontaneous" demonstration outside the U.S. Consulate in protest of an obscure YouTube trailer of a homemade anti-Islam movie called Innocence of Muslims. Falsely assessing partial blame for the violence on a piece of artistic expression inflicted damage not just on the California

The Obama administration announced Thursday a plan to help uninsured Americans find coverage under the new health care law by offering $150 million to community health centers. The funding will allow centers to hire new staff and train existing personnel to help consumers find health plans that fit their needs, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Its announcement is part of a broad push to promote the Affordable Care Act, as calendar pages fall away toward key dates to implement the law. Open enrollment in the law’s state-based insurance markets, or “exchanges,” is scheduled

In the real world, when you cover up four murders after the fact, you likely go to jail. In government, you retire with dignity and run for president with full media support. Up until yesterday, that was the Benghazi scenario following the death of four Americans including our ambassador to Libya. The Obama administration has lied, stonewalled, bullied, and intimidated – the true marks of an open and transparent administration. And, with a few notable exceptions, the American media haven’t just let them get away it. Heck, they’ve helped. Hill testimony of State Department whistleblowers might change

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.
