We're Steele Making A Terrible Moose-take

Brian Beutler is reporting that Tea Party groups are trying to draft Sarah Palin into getting Michael Steele's job as head of the RNC.

The national Tea Party Nation group is planning to send a letter to Sarah Palin asking the former governor of Alaska and John McCain sidekick to run for chair of the Republican National Committee.

Tea Party Nation leader Judson Phillips says in his letter to Palin that without her at the helm of the RNC, the party will fall back into "establishment" hands.

"We need you as Chairman of the RNC. You have shown in the past no hesitation to take on the establishment. You did it in Alaska," Phillips writes in the letter. "If we end up with establishment control of the GOP and their support for an establishment candidate in 2012, Obama and the socialists will have won...We need someone who will put conservatives in control of the party apparatus, not RINOs."

This ought to be fun, especially since the entire point of RNC chair is to be a gaffe-prone lightning rod to blame for anything that might go wrong.  Governor Half-Term there should fit right into the comedy routine over there.

Unfortunately, her egotistical narcissism won't allow her to do it, because it would be she'd be tied down with "responsibilities" while stringing the press along on the Will She Or Won't She Tour 2010.   Can't have that.

Besides, she's got her sights on the top prize.  Icarus needs a sun to fly too close to, after all.
