RNC chair would actually entail ‘working’

I’m glad actually. I like Fred and all but I can never take the man seriously. He always comes off as an actor playing a part.

Good.

Make way for Steele!
Let’s see if the RNC fudges this up and nominates a nobody. Steele is a great person to represent the RNC.

It does sound like it’s going to be Michael Steele. I sure haven’t heard any other names mentioned except for Newt and Fred of course.
I’m going to say something and I don’t want anyone to take it the wrong way, but you know Snerdly is Rush’s official Obama criticizer? Well, Michael Steele… Don’t yell at me! I know he’s SOOOOOOO much more than that, but it will help.
Don’t yell at me.

When he woke up from his nap, he decided agin’ it.

Ain’t no hatin’, Buck!
I dig Fred! It’s just that hearing The Boss, Glen & Helen, and the rest involved with the “Conservatism 2.0″ discussion in the last couple of days – everyone agrees that the Right has to whip out a big ole can of Spunk that the Old Guard just is not capable of marketing.

If only the position were RNC La-Z-Boy…

i wuz referring more to the “actual working” and “nap” comments …
/and yes, while i am a moderate fredhead surely one of his top drawbacks is he does not exactly represent “forward vision” …
Buckaroo on November 21, 2008 at 1:51 AM
I won’t try to convince anyone he is brimmin’ with Spunk, but Fred can articulate Conservative principles in a way that gets across to both intellectuals and the every day guy. I have always been impressed with him, and hope he is still out there in the public doing so, even if not as a full time party representative.
Regarding the “actual working” and “nap” comments, you may have a valid criticism, but there is something about Fred that has always inspired me.
