Congrats Michael Steele!

The cynical hater in me wants to make jokes about former Maryland Lieutenant Governor just being appointed RNC Chairman. But reality is, this is a groundbreaking achievement and should be celebrated as much as Obama's Presidency.

Break out the CapriSuns! It's time to party like a Black Republican!



The million dollar question is whether or not this signals a change of pace in the way the GOP handles its biz, or if Steele is a mere lawn jockey hood ornament that allows them to say "see, we ain't racist, we just put a Negro in charge too."



I'd go in on this topic more, but it's a Friday. I've reached my pithy comments quota for the week. Assuming you haven't reached yours, chime in you-know-where.

Congrats Mike, you've got your work cut out for you.

Question: Is Michael Steele's appointment proof that the GOP is turning a new leaf, or merely an illusion of conclusion?
