Mr Steele. Is this real? [Michael Steele on reaching out to moderate Republicans]

He was chosen exactly for the purpose of getting his “high profile” black face on TV as often as possible. What, did you think it was for his experience and leadership skills?

To be fair, it would be easier to herd cats. The GOP always seems to be going further and further along on some sort of self destructive “no true Scotsman” thing, I don’t see what’s kept them from imploding already.

He’s the highest profile party chair I’ve ever heard of. By comparison, Tim Kaine is the Democratic Party chair, who I do recognize but I had to look that up, which I think is an indication that he’s doing a pretty good job. The fact that Steele is so high-profile is either going to be a ringing endorsement or a damning criticism, and it sure ain’t an endorsement.

Exactly. I’d be hard pressed to pick Tim Kaine out of a line-up. For that matter I probably couldn’t have told you much about what the last five chairmen of either party (not including Steele of course) did or didn’t do during their tenures.

Bet you could pick Howard Dean out of a lineup, though.

Cognitive dissonance.

Right. Under Chavez’s leadership, the UFW pushed for greater restriction of immigration, the end to the Bracero program, pushed for stricter penalties against employers who used illegal immigrants, and would regularly contact the INS to report illegal immigrants. Their position was that increased Mexican immigration lowered their worker’s pay.

I saw a cartoon once titled “A Short History of Immigration”:

PANEL 1:
Guy1: “What a beautiful spot!”
Guy2: “Hey! I was here first!”

PANEL 2:
They fight.

PANEL 3:
Guy2: “Puff-puff. All right! You can stay!”

PANEL 4:
Guy3: “What a beautiful spot!”
Guy1 & Guy2: “Hey! We were here first!”
