RNC and Newt Make a Prudent Decision

Okay, it's necessary for me to include a post regarding something other than Sarah Palin.  The head of the RNC is the same person they should have chosen last time, Michael Steele.  Steele, the former Lt. Gov of Maryland, seems like the likely choice.  Newt has taken himself out of contention.

Rudy, Rudy . . . . Dignity has Left the Building

Rudy teams up with Newtie putting in writing how his NYC strategy will work in Iraq. The WSJ is free today if you care to peruse the piece, http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009514. Rudy is one evil and arrogant bastard, this SOB can't be trusted as far as you can throw 'em.

The core idea of getting Iraqis back to work is a good one and implementation of such an initiative is long overdo. The tenuous comparison to NYC (just coincidently during the period that Tsar Rudy was in charge) added nothing to the core proposition, it was self-serving drivel. Moreover, the facts laid out regarding the success of the NYC workfare initiative are exceedingly thin. So call me a skeptic, but given that Rudy's ramping up a bid for the Presidency in '08, why aren't we provided with more definitive evidence to support the claimed success of the program. Hmmm.
