Steele A No-Show At Big NRCC Fundraiser

Steele A No-Show At Big NRCC Fundraiser

Either RNC Chairman Michael Steele remains in hiding or House Republicans aren’t interested in having him around:

Tuesday night was the National Republican Congressional Committee’s big donor dinner at the National Building Museum, with the GOP headliner, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

And next to Jindal sat a big, empty seat. With a nameplate.

Whose seat could that be? Why, it was reserved for RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

…“[Steele] spoke at the Business Summit during the day and was not scheduled to attend the dinner.” If true, then why the heck was he — the big GOP fundraising man — not scheduled to go to a big donor dinner?

Apparently, Steele had put in his time and attended the luncheon, according to those close to him.

As one scoffed, “Maybe he’s embarrassed he only raised $1M instead of the $5M Mike Duncan was going to write.”
