Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Sunday that claims he made inappropriate payments to his sister’s company for work never performed were untrue and made by a felon trying to get a reduced sentence.

Uh, the felon was his finance chairman.

Steele paid more than $37,000 to a Maryland company run by his sister, Monica Turner, for work related to his unsuccessful 2006 Senate campaign. If she was not reimbursed, both he and his sister would be violating campaign finance laws, said Steele.

“It was a legitimate reimbursement of expenses,” Steele said on ABC’s “This Week.”

The “reimbursement” was over a year after she shut down the company.

In addition to the payment to Steele’s sister, Fabian alleged that the candidate used money from his state campaign improperly, that Steele paid $75,000 from the state campaign to a law firm for work that was never performed, and that he or an aide transferred more than $500,000 in campaign cash from one bank to another without authorization.

    29,

    Again, you demonstrate your ignorance, paddy-o. You make it a zero-sum game every time you pull the opposite contrast to every observation I make. If I say the GOP is a bunch oif crooked evil assholes, that does not mean the Democrats are automatically great in my eyes that assumption creates a zero-sum situation.

    The proper observation is “Smartalix doesn’t likethe GOP”. By turning it into a polarizing comparison without being given any indication it was, you created a zero-sum assumption. Get it?

    But as you have abundantly demonstrated you are an idiot, I can forgive you not understanding complex concepts like these.

    You mean like when you lie about the GOP not supporting the civil rights legislation?
