Steele Couldn’t Have Finished His Book Before November 4, 2009

Eric Kleefeld has the goods on Michael Steele’s really absurd fib that he “wrote this book before” he took over the RNC on January 29, 2009. On Tuesday, I noted that Steele makes an early, score-settling reference in the book to the special election in NY-23 and the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia — all of which happened on November 3, 2009.

You could go out on a limb and say that Steele meant that he wrote some of the book early on and updated it later, or that its message had been brewing inside of him for years, but this is really just strange.
