It’s Official: MSNBC Hires Michael Steele for Political Analyst Gig

Remember Michael Steele? Not too long ago he was the (embattled) chairman of the Republican National Committee. Following some pretty embarrassing headlines and a failed attempt at a second chairmanship, things are looking up for Steele. According to Mediaite:
Former Republican National Committee head Michael Steele has found himself a new role: MSNBC legal analyst, following a series of negotiations with the channel.
By many accounts, Steele’s accomplishments while at the RNC were a mixed bag. While the former chairman left the committee $20 million in debt, he also contributed to historic wins in the 2010 Congressional midterm elections. Despite these wins, Steele ended up losing (dropping out of) his re-election race due to unpopularity and his inability to secure the necessary votes.
In commentary about his newfound role, Steele says:
It’s an honor to contribute and engage in the dialogue on MSNBC. I look forward to engaging a diverse audience to share insights and analysis about the people, issues, and events shaping America’s future. I’m sure our discussions will be both informative and a bit spirited!
One wonders how Steele will position himself at MSNBC. Recently, he defended presidential-hopeful Newt Gingrich’s criticisms of Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan (an opinion that was less than popular among conservatives). TIME’s “Tuned In” blog had this to say:
Of course, it’s not like MSNBC has no other Republicans in its pundit ranks, the chief example being Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough. But it will be interesting to see if Steele presents himself as a GOP analyst/loyalist, a la Fox’s Karl Rove, or moves from his partisan past a la the TV version of Scarborough.
Only time will tell whether Steele will be a staunch defender of conservative values or a more watered down version of his former self. Either way, his new position is certainly a positive development in what has become a professional roller-coaster of sorts.

He is a perfect example of a RINO and not because he will be on MSNBC

You think that we‘re supportive of Allen West because he’s black? You are KIDDING, aren’t you? Maybe these quotes will help:
“This past Saturday was touted by some fella as being the day the world would end. The day was actually Armed Forces Day and we should have celebrated the men and women who stand upon freedom’s ramparts in order to secure our liberty each and every day.” ~ Allen West
“I believe President Barack Obama is completely incorrect when it comes to his Middle East foreign policy. I was hoping that the President would clarify the statement at his AIPAC speech. However, the President did not rectify the unconscionable policy faux pas statement on “pre-1967 borders” to resolve the Middle East peace process. He did not seek an honorable way to publicly apologize; in turn I have come to one concluding assessment: America has a President who lacks moral courage and integrity when it comes to America’s long standing relationship with Israel.”

Here‘s the statement made by Allen West after Obama’s speech last week on Israel:
http://west.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4216&Itemid=300128
“I say this based upon a speech that then – Senator Obama gave to AIPAC a mere three years ago emphasizing a totally different policy position. In reviewing history, I would say Sir Neville Chamberlain was naive in his negotiations with German Chancellor Adolph Hitler. However, when one examines the current state of affairs in the Middle East, including the Fatah-Hamas reconciliation pact, increase of rocket/mortar attacks from Gaza, the definitive Hamas Charter statement vowing the destruction of Israel, and the Hamas condemnation of America for killing Osama bin Laden… I cannot attribute this incompetent statement to naïveté, but rather to conscious, nefarious, and malicious intent.
Yes, I am very aware these words and the statement I released will be carried forward all across America, and possibly beyond – and yes they are strong words. However, it is time that someone rose up to speak the truth. The statement President Obama made, one without sharing with Prime Minister Netanyahu, is one of the most insidious and heinous policy statements ever made by any United States President, and completely unacceptable. I will not sit back idly and watch us saunter down the road to perdition!” ~ Allen West
