GOP Furious At Steele; RNC Admits Little Control

By Reid Wilson

House and Senate leadership aides are furious with RNC chair Michael Steele and have angrily confronted the RNC's press shop over their inability to keep the chair on message.

In the course of a regular daily conference call between senior Congressional communicators, House and Senate aides berated RNC staffers over Steele's comments that the GOP would not be able to take back the House, and that even if they did, the party would not be prepared to lead.

A senior Senate aide brought up Steele's comments, arguing that he was ruining what should be several days of glowing press for the GOP in the wake of retirement announcements from Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Chris Dodd (D-CT).

"Steele is setting us far back with his comments and it needs to stop," the aide said, according to 2 sources who were on the call.

RNC research director Jeff Berkowitz called the Senate aide out of line, but the Senate aide called Steele a "fool," sources said.

In an effort to soothe feelings, a senior House aide interrupted and said he sympathized with RNC aides. But, he added: "You're putting our bosses in tremendously difficult situations."

A senior RNC press aide admitted the shop had no control over Steele's interviews as he embarks on a book tour to sell his blueprint for a GOP comeback. Steele has hired a public relations firm, the RNC aide said, and the press shop has no control over when interviews are scheduled.

After an awkward silence, another aide spoke up: "You really need to have him be quiet." The call ended shortly thereafter.

On today's daily conference call, the RNC offered no information on their daily schedule.

Even a private venting session in which top aides were allowed to voice their frustration has not slowed criticism. Berkowitz made the point that Steele has tried to walk back his comments through several appearances on other news outlets, but Congressional aides said he hasn't done enough.

"He has made no progress in walking back the recent comments. In fact, he dug the hole deeper by appearing unprepared and uneducated" on his party's actions on the Hill, a top House aide told Hotline OnCall. "Aides are collaborating with each other, both on and off the Hill, on ways to keep him quiet."

A call to the RNC's press line seeking comment went to voicemail.

Fire the SOB!

Just who are these unnamed senior republican leaders who are angry? Steele should be no exception, all the GOP has to offer is anger, hate and fear. The whole party is a bunch of cowards, criminals, adulterers and jerks.

"A call to the RNC's press line seeking comment went to voicemail."

I'd wager we'll here similar unified silence from the Republicans in the audience. After all, this cannot be pinned to Obama in any way I can think of, but don't let that thought stop you from trying.

MICHAEL STEELE

With all the gaffs, retractions, apologizes and clarifications this man has made in the past year it is no wonder that the RNC is lagging the DNC in contributions. He should be spending more time finding candidates and helping them develop a platform and raising funds. You don’t find Tim Kaine on TV and Radio every day putting his foot in his mouth.

GOOD JOB STEELE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

GOOD JOB MR STELLE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THERE UPSET WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH.

The GOP Suffers from a severe case of:

EQUINE SOUTHERN ANATOMICAL IDENTIFICATION!!

Don't be so quick to think that the GOP can't blame Obama for this. It's quite simple. You see, Michael Steele and Barack Obama share a trait--what could it be, what could it be--they're both BLACK. Could it be coincidence that it JUST SO HAPPENS that at the SAME time there's a the first black president there's also the first black chair of the RNC? Methinks it is too much to ask of chance. Barack Obama was elected in late 2008 and took office in 2009. Steele became chair of the RNC in, what, late 2008 and 2009? Again, coincidence? I think not!

What's more have you ever seen Barack Obama and Michael Steele in the same room? No! Even if you did, if James Cameron can make realistic blue cat-people then it would be a trivial matter to make it *appear* that Barack Obama and Michael Steele were in the same room at the same time. But wait, the final nail in the coffin. No one knows WHERE Michael Steele OR Barack Obama was born! They're both African Americans. Kenya is in Africa. Barack Obama's father was from Kenya. Maybe ALL African Americans are from Kenya. Who know? I'm just asking questions here.

I submit to you that Michael Steele and Barack Obama are the same person. Therefore, Barack Obama IS to blame for the problems MIchael Steele is causing the RNC. QED.

Your friend and weepy pal,

Glen Beck

Mr. Steele was their token black man, that they thought they could control. Now they have no control, an he wants to sale as many books as palin did, by saying more out ragiousse thangs than she did. It's so funny to watch them cut each others throats this way. The RNC are lacking the funds the even run a decent campagne for the senate seats, an steele knows this as he's in control of the money. So he's probally telling the trueth, something other republicans can't stomach at this point.

As a registered Republican, I think it is time that we put performance at the head of the line instead of this attempt to being "cool" !

Adrienne, that post was full of win! Let the GOP tear themselves apart, they have so much hate and anger they will take it out on even their own party.

It serves the GOP right. They only picked Michael Steele because they thought it would be competitive to have an African-American as the head of the RNC because the mood of the nation was to elect an African-American president. The fact that Obama is a brilliant man and Steele is an idiot had no bearing in the GOP's decision and now it's pay back for that mistake.

Look here baby! I'm going to break it down for you like this!!

Now, when the "man" behind the curtain in the Kabuki Theatre, also known as the GOP, the top secret "master plan" (no pun intended) was to use a man of color to counter a man of color in the White House. GENIOUS, RIGHT BABY!!!!

Unfortunately, Brother Hussein continues to put major feet up the a** of the GOP and all affiliates through thorough and analytical approaches to governing. Plus, the world loves him BABY!! We can't compete!!!!

They think I'm Cris Angel or something around here baby!!!

But look here baby, I'm getting tired of these rednecks and jive turkeys running off at the mouth. That's why I told them STRAIGHT UP! KISS MY BLACK A**! If they don't like it, they know what they can do. I DON'T NEED THEM, THEY NEED ME!!! That's on the real baby!!!

WE WON'T WIN ANYWAYS BABY!! We're JV, going up against a proven PRO

The GOP just keep killing themselves. They follow the likes of Palin with her hateful rhetoric, they with the help of glenn beck creates the hateful teabaggers, they pick micheal steele because they though he would bring minorities to the party.The GOP just doesn't do anything right. They create all these monsters and the monsters turn on them. I am sitting back and just loving every minute of it.

Adrienne, that was funny, David that was on point.
Like I just posted, the RNC is trolling for a major controversy to use as an excuse to oust Steele without it looking like a race issue, if for nothing else, in effigy. Stand by for the new book about Steele being on the inside by the door.

Steele should be fired. Instead of giving hope he is talking gloom. As the RNC chairman he MUST continue to rally the party NOT rally us backward.

@UncleSteele LMFAO. Baby, that was some funny shiznit

To the person pretending to be black. Black folks have not use the phrase "jive turkey" since The Jeffersons was on the air. I don't know if the GOP picked Steele because he was black but Steele has as much right to sound like an ass as do McCain, Palin and the rest of the GOP gestapo. Second why does the GOP faithful love Palin so much. WTF has she accomplished. She was PICKED to run for VP it isn't like the country chosed her. She quit the job that she was elected to do. What is so admirable about that. She is not Hillary Clinton, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Claire McCaskill or any of the more qualified people in the house or senate. She is a blowhard of no regard.

Michael Steele has probably been treated like Colin Powell in Bush's first term. But he is not a military man who is used to a strict chain of command. I can't wait for the tell all book he is going to put out there. Anyone who has or is trying to take him out of his position will be in the line of fire I predict.

Ha Ha Ha Steele is taking his cues from Palin of all people - be as much of an outrageous idiot as possible and you WILL find some even more idiotic people in America to follow you.

I happily blame Palin for the continued unraveling of the GOP - she was on their ticket in the last election and the GOP cowards are too scared to denounce her.

Absolute poetic justice.

All of these comments are fun to read. However, when the government (both state and national) brings in the Trojan Horse of Internet voting, it won't matter anymore who the people vote for. Winners will be chosen by the best hackers, whether they be from the U.S., China, Russia, etc. Hope this possible scenario alarms you enough to look into what's taking place. Internet voting for overseas military is the beginning; ex-pats are next, and then the rest of us. At least you've been warned, and that suggests that you ought to take some responsibility for researching and acting upon this volatile situation.

What up?

I love Michael Steele. He complains about the "Washington ways" even as he spends millions of dollars on office renovations(his office!), crappy websites, and innumerable high-paid consultants who are his friends. He's paid over $235,000 per year, but out on the speaking circuit based on his RNC position collecting fees for himself. This man is your typical Washington insulated self-serving "Republican". I just hope he's a "Christian", just so we can say: "Love the man, hate the sin!"

By the way: Its "Was' up".

Thank God Michael is "all with Beck" and also the Tea Partiers. Yup, Tea Partiers love's dem some fools who get paid lots, have a pea brain and a big mouth, and know how to "take care of themselves." Michael is the male Sarah Palin!

You guys are idiots.

No matter how many gaffs, the GOP is like a religion to many, particularly those whose educations peaked out at high school graduate or a GED. They just go by what they hear. So watch out. They might actually be the majority, as has been demonstrated in the past.

Hilarious

Anyone lumping Steele in with Palin is an idiot.

Palin would never be stupid enough (as Steele was) to give herself a "solid B" grade two weeks after Obama was lampooned for giving himself a "solid B+" ... She would rightly say that it's not her place to give herself a grade and that she simply hoped her message would resonate with the American public. That's what a tactful LEADER says when asked to "grade" their efforts.

I can only hope that Steele was being sarcastic. Nevertheless, it showed poor communication skills.

Unfortunately, Steele, when he's not accusing his party of racism, or making idiotic comments about his party not being ready to lead, he's telling his GOP detractors to "shut up or fire him."

Steele has absolutely no sense of message.

I challenge you to find any instance where Sarah Palin (freed from the McCain Titanic) has not expressed precisely the right message for the mood of the times. Which, by the way, is decidely anti-Obama, anti-Reid-Pelosi Congress, anti-big government, anti-debt, pro-freedom).

When SarahPAC numbers come out next month, GOP heads will explode. And then we'll know who has really got the cajones and the ground support to lead the conservative insurgency.

Steele, get a spine.

I guess the promise of fried chicken didn't help the cause much.
p.s.
it's spelled "someone", idiot.

Go Steele! You be da man! BWAHAHAHA!!!

Even for Michael Steele's usual Bizarro-World comments, this latest one is a little odd. What could he possibly gain from pissing off the entire Republican Party?

It makes me think perhaps Steele is pumping up interst for his book...or he's saying what he really thinks because he's about to wave buh-bye to the RNC.

2009 was, overall, a strange year, but I think 2010 is going to top it, at least if Steele's comment is any indication.

Michael Steele was the GOP answer to President Obama. What a JOKE! President Obama is an educated man and Michael Steele is an IDIOT. WAY TO GO GOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

way to go mike you and sara would mahe a fine team in 2012

I love you Michael Steele. Stay Golden "Dawg"

www.newscorchedearth.com

As you sow so shall you reap. Sow anger and fear and reap the same. That is all the GOP offers. No hope only fear and hate built on the likes of Glen Beck. Beck is a traitor and is allowed to say things he knows are lies. Folks who cant or wont think for themselves do not do their due dilligence and actually question his out right stupid remarks. I pray for our country. If the GOP regain the White House and Beck and Hannity and Rush gain access and stir up racial hatred like Beck is doing today. Then I for one will weep at what our country has come to. We have lost our soul and our heart is shrinking. A party that limits its memebership to the pure has become no better than the old Nazi party of Germany who allowed only pure Arians into their inner circle. They considered Poles and Slavs and Russians inferior and had plans for them to be their slave labor forever. Are the GOP inner circle in cohoots with Beck et al doing the same? Getting ready to have blacks and hispanics the inferior races in this country forever.

If Steele need to be quiet, what about Palin?

Not even open her mouth to avoid the risk of her saying something?

Face it, the Republicans hate Steele for the same reason they hate Obama: the skin color is too black!

Compared to Steele, Palin is a disaster

I am so happy to see the disunity being shown within the Republican Party. Its well deserved and my wish is that the Party of No continue to tear each other apart until they sink back into primordial slime from which they came!

"Anyone lumping Steele in with Palin is an idiot."

I agree, Palin is significantly more unintellectual, incurious and dishonest


"Palin would never be stupid enough (as Steele was) to give herself a "solid B" grade two weeks after Obama was lampooned for giving himself a "solid B+" ... She would rightly say that it's not her place to give herself a grade"

LOL. This is the same Palin whose claim to foreign policy rested on her state being close to Russia!

After being asked about her foreign policy experience in one interview, botching her response, she got a second chance.

Guess what she said?

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska"

LOL.


"When SarahPAC numbers come out next month, GOP heads will explode. And then we'll know who has really got the cajones and the ground support to lead the conservative insurgency.
Steele, get a spine.
Former Democrat "

Face it goober, you are not a former Democrat. You are just another white goober who hates people of dark skin.

Palin is not fit to lead a kindergarten marching drill.

Steele must be working undercover for the democrats! Fire him!

I love it! The GOP is toast if you keep Steele; and your even more toast if you attack or marginalize him. Either way, the GOP will lose votes in important segments -- not just among African Americans.

Self-emolation can be so delicious!

People like Steele, Palin, Bachmann, Boehner, Beck, and Limbaugh are helping to make a mockery of a party that once stood for something. Currently, the only ideas they seem to have are about thwarting President Obama and hoping he fails. Apparently, it hasn't occurred to them that if the president fails, the entire country fails. It all boils down to the fact that they are bereft of any constructive ideas on solving problems.

Steele, Palin, and Bachmann are non-stop gaffe machines, who also spread lies and hatred for political points. Their unending criticism of the president's reasonable, balanced efforts to find solutions to help prevent a recurrence of things like the Christmas Day thwarted attack is reckless and irresponsible. National security concerns all of us, and they are playing with fire.

Good work Mr Steele. You're as stupid as Bush and the people who voted for him.

Republican operatives are privately furious with RNC Chairman Michael Steele for predicting on Monday night that the GOP will not take over the House of Representatives in 2010.

OK, which Democrat was it who had the brilliant idea to help Steele get the RNC chairmanship? heheh

Mike Steele/ Sarah Palin 2012!

FOFLMAO

First you try to foist this uneducated hick in the VP slot, then you bring in a "colored brown fellow" as Mike calls himself to show up another black guy that happens to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Just goes to show, when they were passing out brains, the rethugs thought they said trains and went Wooo Wooooooo!

Tokens always serve to expose the bias their employs wish to disguise.

Palin and Steele have blown wide open how deeply rooted the cluelessness and bigotry of the Republican party machine really is.

Palin and Steele, have used their positions quite effectively to proof how completely out of touch the Republican party really is. It is a thing of beauty.

Repubs suffer from crani-ectopial endo-proctosis!

To paraphrase the Gospel, "A prophet is not without honor save in his own party."

Adreienne..you rock!

Steele was selected RNC Chairman because an African-American had just been elected in a landslide. McCain did the same thing and selected Palin because he assumed that Hillary's voters would convert to Republicans.

Obama's poll numbers are sliding, and the Republicans feel that they don't need Steele anymore. They never have been fond of minorities unless they felt that they needed them.

Just this once Michael Steele told the truth and GOP political insiders are demanding he shut up. For Republicans telling the truth is a cardinal sin. The daily talking points put out by the GOP is titled "The spinning lie of the day" and is mandatory for all GOPers to follow.

Hmmm wonder how long before mike is accused of being an undercover brother that's "helping brother Obama out"??? He is definitely paving a way for the Dems to remain in control and I say let mike continue talking, I get a real kick out of hearing him. Face it..mike is the rightwing's "token Obama" and they are scare as anything to tell him to hit the road. Too funny.

David and Adrienne are two of the smartest people in the world. You guys are insightful and very creative (Adrienne). You have summed up the reason for Steele getting a job that he was and is not qualified for (David). Thank you two for writing what most are thinking.

Divide and conque the American way of doing nothing and getting no were.Mr Michael Steele what part of NO don't you understand there no eat,drink and be merry in this story.It looks like the Republican are doing the cut and run now.So but the roard lift for Obama by many of your former members hads this country reaping whatsoever was passed,your deeds are up for repayment starting from 2000.
People look at who asking for the keys to be gaven back to them. Under the surface who is really working for us? do anyone think we got thare without beibg sold out. The Jobs are not comeing back unit we stop buying make in ????.
Who really running this country? It's not Obama,
No Corporation is ran by one preson.
This country is not ran by one party.
We donot need to go down the 1996 roard agan.
We dont need to send anymore missages, we need to stop Divide and Conque and gett on the some page.
There no new picture comeing we need to infrom
the out of the way Town with there Tea party we drink coffe now. the picture we see now is worth a Billion green dollars and not one Man who happen to be Black name Obama.
This country time for 1962 is over.
The Rep have Mr. Stell and The Dem has Obama but thay are not the same.

I can't believe they didn't see this coming. But it could be worse. It could be Palin borrowing a quarter million in clothes and forgetting how to spell her own name.

Hell, she'd probably have quit her job by now to focus on her presidential race.

Quick...name the last 2 RNC heads??...Who's the DNC chair?...The job really should be about "results"...Steele's RNC won back 2 governors seats in the 2010 elections.....The last 2 RNC heads LOST the house, the Senate AND the Whitehouse...Now I'm sure that they are upstanding, white, male Republicans..I'm sure that they're members-in-good-standing, in the "club"....They're also LOSERS! It's a "win/lose" game. Steele's doing better than his predecessor right now...If it's his style that makes the GOP uncomfortable; consider that's what you thought that you WANTED in the "age of Obama"...Soon we'll be hearing ladies in "real America" crying out: "I feel like I'm losing my Party!.." Now, I KNOW that the party hardliners are upset that Steele's out promoting his book but...As Michael Steele once said: "... A Brothers gotta eat!"

"He dug the hole deeper by appearing unprepared and uneducated"

I love how repuglicans use the key word/code word "digs" at a black man.
Unprepared and Uneducated! Michael Steele, the Chair of the Republican party.

Steele is probably defending the Democratically influenced black caucus. This guy is nothing but a Democrat in disguise, what's really sad is that people still believe that this mess was caused by the GOP. Here's a news flash for everyone that can't see the trees through the forest. The democrats have been in Congress since 2006, the deregulation of both lending and mortgage practices was strongarmed by the democrats after the Clinton administration (remember, democratic influence once again) initiated the very lending practices that got us into this mess in the first place. (Remember Andrew Cuomo and the Housing and Urban Development committee? Yeah, that was the democratic influence.) Systemic risk of Fannie and Freddie was called into question by both Bush and McCain in an effort to strengthen and supress financial turmoil when Bush had addressed the financial disposition of these GSEs as a, "Potential problem" in 2001. The democrats meanwhile were working in the background with their influence in both the house and the senate, the same influence that later strongarmed this bailout to the very lenders they put at risk with these practices and the healthcare bill their party initiated when Medicare and Social Security was enacted. All of this excessive spending is going towards a mess that this party specifically caused in the first place! That's why Obama wanted to pass this bill while they still had the advantage in legislation because he knows that the odds are likely to be against him with all of the political and financial damage this party has done to this country. Wake up people, Nancy Pelosi is a Democrat, Barney Frank is a Democrat, no Republican voted for this bailout or this health care bill! These donkeys need to be kicked out of office!

It has been the long standing policy of the GOP to always claim everything is great and they are going to always win. For the majority of thier followers this is all they need to hear, reality and truth don't really matter that much.

The resignations are a perfect example. The reality is far more repuclicans are dropping out than Democrats, yet they still claim that so many dems dropping is a win for them? It does not have to be true, it does not have to make sense, it does not even matter if the entore world just saw the opposite thing happen, they always claim success. Heck of a job Steele!

I remember Steele's competition for RNC head and thought at the time that he was the sanest of all candidates. Sad commentary on the caliber of the so called rising stars of the party. He's turned out to be a lunatic. hahahaha

Note to self: Do not return to this web site EVER. Way too much vile and hate for me. Most of you need your mouths washed out with soap.

Face it folks, the Dems have been in charge of spending since the 2006 mid-terms. They have complete ownership of this economy. Voters have long term memory loss so who knows what will happen in November. My hope is all the bums are thrown out.

"The greatest threat to our democracy is an uninformed voter." JFK

The only thing anyone ever needed to know about Michael Steele is that his brother-in-law is Mike Tyson. Yeah, I know - WOW!

Other than Allan Keyes, Steele is the most dangerous Negro in America! Enough said.

The GOP needs strong leadership from those in a position of prominence within the party. Michael Steele clearly lacks the the skills necessary to provide the party with strong leadership and should be replaced immediately. His doom and gloom comments re the 2010 election clearly demonstrate he is not the person the party needs to lead it victory in 2010 and 2012.

Poor GOP - the truth is such a bitter pill to swallow.

Might I suggest that proper vetting - the kind of vetting that took place prior to the GOP's unfortunate selection of the incompetent dimwit Sarah Palin - would alleviate any further embarrassments such as these for the GOP?

You know,... It's really amazing to read a liberal comment post ripping conservative values over something as stupid as this. The more I read, the more I understand just how much you liberals blame conservatives for being racist and hateful! You all are absolutely amazing! Do you really think the majority or conservatives are “racist” and “Hateful”??? LOL… Look at your comments! It’s ALL a bunch of pint up HATRED! I’m “republican” by my values,… actually, I’m “conservative”. Same as Martin Luther King... Read up a little! We “conservatives” believe that people are judged by their actions, not the color of their skin. I agree with some of you that the GOP is broken,… but if you are “liberal” and have that “big heart”, I really can’t understand how you could actually back your leadership either! If you ask me,… all these JERKS are CROOKS, conservative and liberal, and are pulling the wool over all our eyes! We are ALL losing here… GET IT?

We need one of our own kind in that spot. The Tea Party is full of leaders ready to take the reins!

Steele is right. Under Bush, the Republicans were given their first change to run it all since Herbert Hoover. What did they do? The same thing as Herber Hoover -- they spent like drunk sailors and collapsed the economy. The inevitable result is they got booted from office and replaced by socialist nincompoops like Obama, Pelosi, and Barney Frank.

We don't need any more stinking RINOs. The GOP needs to nominate people who have SOME rooting in the American values of life, liberty and property.

Steele popping up was an ill-conceived, late response to a phenomenon that The Good Ol' Boys NEVER saw coming; The YOUTH of The USA are not buying the class/racist divisiveness that the Republicrats continually trumpet.

More importantly, The MEDIA dances around the BS, endlessly trotting out the usual Talking Heads, claiming to be "experts" ... anybody remember these same schmucks being razor sharp on an "Angry White Male" being the D.C. Sniper?

Media controls the info The People use to make up what's left of their minds; Has ANY media outlet considered that US Foreign Aid funds Israel's continuous building & annexation of Palestinian Lands? The point NEVER is posed by "The Media".

Michael Steele? Another reason Republicrats will continue to fade. I am still trying to figure out how The Christian Right allowed a Dirt Eating Mongrel like Steele to actually be allowed to Helm That Sinking Ship!

Let Republicrats fry in the hell of their own making.

Cheers,

Uncle Tony

Mr. Steele is saying what a majority of Americans are feeling, do we believe him? Hmmmm. His Republican's are newtered. But the Democrats are terrible and are not doing what the average American wants. At least Mr. Steele is honest.

America is being destroyed before our very eyes and you idiots are focusing on a clueless fool like Steele. Obama is nothing but a George Soros puppet and has not had an original idea since he was elected by a Bush hating electorate. He proves his ineptness each and everytime he addresses the nation without his teleprompter. What we as Americans need to focus on is the restoration of this nation to it's former greatness both at home and abroad. Obama and his henchmen are bankrupting out children and grandchildren and God only knows how many other generations. Stop the madness and focus on electing leaders who have a genuine love of America and the Constitution upon which it was founded.

What's the problem? I want someone to ask the right questions. Yes, the Tea Parties should be acknowledged and yes, the Republican Party needs to wake up. Oh, and yes! We need to hold both parties accountable.

I love you Mike! Keep this party straight! I was ready to leave this party until I heard Michael Steel speak. Now I may even commit to an actual contribution.

Don't pick on the rarely honest voice in politics!

Thanks for that enormously high quality column.

Who the hell is George Soros? And please link to an UNBIASED site, not extreme Orly type crap. I'm getting tired of wading through these garbage propaganda sites. If it has anything to do with birth certifigate, death camps or the "Kill whitey" tape I will be sadly disappointed. Go ahead and make your case, if it's that important. After "Terrorist Fist Jab" I stopped listening to the right altogether, but I'm always willing to listen to reason... With facts, not speculation and Rush's extraordinary mind reading capabilities.

Ich denke das ist eh nur ne Modeerscheinung.

An sich ne gute Sache, ich frag mich nur, ob das auch dauerhaft brauchbar bleibt.

An sich n cooler post, aber kannst beim nächsten mal n bisschen detailierter sein?
