RNC Chairman Michael Steele (a black man) is uncomfortable with Rand Paul’s opposition to the desegregation of lunch counters. I should think so. The problem for Steele is that he doesn’t have a vote in Congress, and Rand Paul would if he is elected in November. I don’t see how both Rand Paul and Michael Steele can co-exist in their current roles, so it’s pretty obvious that one of them needs to go. Anyone want to give odds on who that will be?
On the other hand, Michael Steele is just the kind of man who would fail to resign or be critical enough of Rand Paul to get himself fired. But, really, how can the GOP tolerate a chairman whose best defense of a racist is that he has a “philosophical perspective”?
