A party chairman who could handle Rush Limbaugh
Published on Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009
Now Republicans may be having their doubts. Michael Steele, the party's choice for chairman, fell into a familiar trap. He expressed harsh words about the party fount Rush Limbaugh, calling his radio talk show ''incendiary'' and ''ugly.'' Then, Steele turned meek (as others have) and apologized.
A party chairman probably should have as a rule staying out of the line of ridicule fired by late-night comedians, certainly for bowing down so awkwardly to the big guy. And that's where Ken Blackwell returns to the picture.
Say what you want about Blackwell, headline-grabber, self-promoter, ever ready at the microphone, the safe bet is, he wouldn't have let Limbaugh push him around. First, he wouldn't have taken Limbaugh so seriously. Second, he never would have allowed himself to be backed into an apology. Blackwell back down? Not when he's having such fun, front and center, exchanging points of view.
