Oh my god. GOP chairman Michael Steele has a blog on the new GOP.com, and the first entry is horribly, horribly written.
Does he really not know to write? Or is he just pandering to the GOP’s anti-intellectualism?
The Internet has been around a while, now. But, I still find it an amazing platform for innovation, not just in technology, but in life. Beyond admiring the way it powers so many inventions and businesses, it has become a personal thing for me. I love the fact that, wherever I might be, I can use technology to see my family and chat with them, and Social Media to tap into what my friends are doing.
Unnecessary commas, unnecessary capitalization and a dangling participle, and that’s just the first paragraph.
Given what a total train wreck he has been, it’s hard to believe they haven’t muscled him out yet. Almost everything he does has been cringe-worthy.
True — although I also think the general public doesn’t really hear or care much about the chairs of the parties.
Party chairs in the US don’t really seem to do much but appear as talking heads on news programs occasionally, and that’s probably largely because our parties are really pretty pathetic in terms of organization and discipline (although the Republicans are better than the Democrats in this regard).
Contrast this with the parliamentary model, in which the chair of the party is either the Prime Minister or the Leader of the Opposition depending on election results.

It looks like he wrote it using a buzzword bingo game.
