Michael Steele, facing criticism from within his party that his new book is distracting from his duties as RNC chairman, now claims he wrote the book before he took the helm of the GOP last year. But here’s the thing. Our Eric Kleefeld masochistically volunteered to read Steele’s book this week. He finished a couple of nights ago and reports that the book is almost entirely focused on events in 2009 that happened while Steele was chairman, suggesting the book was completed late in the year. He also refers to himself in the book as, um, RNC chairman. Makes you wonder.
