Steele Joins MSNBC

Politico reports:

Michael Steele, the outspoken and unguarded former Republican National Committee chairman, has inked a deal for the job he was born for: talking head on cable news.

MSNBC announced Monday morning in Politico’s Playbook that Steele will join the network as a political analyst, contributing regularly to its programming.

“It’s an honor to contribute and engage in the dialogue on MSNBC,” Steele said in a statement.

Since leaving his post atop the RNC in January, Steele has made several appearances on “The Rachel Maddow Show” and a few others on MSNBC programming — sometimes the only Republican amid a sea of Democrats, albeit one who can veer off party message to speak his own mind.
