These guys still want to pick over bones with me about the RNC — they didn’t like my style, but to blame the hurricane on me when they voted on it unanimously is amazing to me. . . . They sound like Barack Obama. Why is he always blaming Bush? Why are they always blaming me? Deal with it. The hand-wringing and fingerpointing is childish. They really need to grow up
Michael Steele, Ex-RNC President, quoted by Washington Post

They just need to stop that s---, ok, get over it. First off, they act like I did nothing for two years and then something they don't like I did it all.
We gamed all that out. It was part of the discussion from day one. I don't know why people are acting all surprised.

Michael Steele wasn't invited to the RNC Convention. I guess he didn't show them his birth certificate.

GOP: "The reason we didn't invite Michael Steele is that with Allen West and Herman Cain, we have enough black men saying crazy things."

Has Michael Steele been blamed for not anticipating a hurricane hitting anywhere in the U.S. during the GOP convention?
