Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) last night defended embattled RNC Chairman Michael Steele as “doing a great job” and just a victim of the Washington establishment.

“Michael Steele is an outsider, the machine is tough to penetrate,” Palin told Sean Hannity on Fox News. “It’s been good to have an independent outsider trying to create some change in the Republican Party.”

Palin did add that if RNC members want to seek “a different direction,” Steele’s term is up soon and “they can vote somebody else in.”
