Rethug National Committee Chairman and National Laughingstock Michael "Tin Man" Steele has apparently been charging for his non-official moonlighting appearances - $15,000 or $20,000 a pop! And why not?! Who says just because you're the chairman of a major (?) political party you should avoid appearances of um... avarice?! (Sez Former Rethug National Committee Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr.: "Holy Mackerel!")
Also on the Rethug front: ConservaDem "Blue Dog" Rep. Parker "Roll" Griffith, freshman from Alabama (where else?) is switching to the Rethugs today. He'd voted almost 100% with them since January anyway, so Good Riddance. Look for Tin Man to hold a press conference... and charge a speaking fee.
