Meet the new leader of the republicans
Steele has been falling upward throughout a career marked by a series of professional failures. He dropped out of the seminary, finished law school but never passed the bar, started a consulting firm that had no clients, and was rumored to have been let go from a job working for the Mills shopping mall firm because he was spending too much time engaged in party politics. When he ran as Robert Ehrlich’s lieutenant governor running mate in 2002, the Ehrlich campaign put Steele on the payroll so he’d have a regular income.
Ouch!
