Jon Stewart took on the RNC plan to remedy the Republican party, and — in the spirit of the thing — decided to say things how Reince Priebus says things. You know, like a "drunk Muppet."
Day four of the weird War of the RNC All-Stars saw Michael Steele and Reince Priebus battle over minority outreach, inadvertently exposing why Republicans will have two outreach plans going forward: one to Latinos, and one to blacks.
On a radio show Tuesday morning, former RNC head Michael Steele was asked who would win in an MMA-style cage match, him or Reince Priebus. Steele said he'd win easily. An MMA expert we talked to disagreed.
The former chairman of the Republican National Committee appears to be on a self-promotional tour focused on insulting current RNC chair Reince Priebus. On MSNBC, he argued that "I won, and he didn't." Except Steele had nothing to do with the election he won.
The lessons the Republican National Committee learned from the 2012 elections is that both the party's message and its policy needs fixing.
There were really two CPACs this weekend: official CPAC and angry CPAC. This is where you could see the conflict between the party's attempt to get new voters and the rebellion of its old ones.

Republicans are flirting with changing the basic American principle of "one man, one vote," into something a little more flexible — something like "one man, one to three votes."
The Republican Party has two comeback plans after the 2012 election, and they are total opposites: Plan A is to win presidential elections by appealing to broader audience that reflects America's "changing demographics." Plan B is to just change the rules of presidential elections so that rural white voters get a disproportional vote.
Campaign aides used their appearances on the Sunday talk shows to fight over who is more confident they're going to win in Ohio next week, while Republicans come to the defense of Richard Mourdock.
Reince Priebus lowers the expectations for Paul Ryan's debate performance because he just loves Joe Biden's debating skills so much; David Axelrod praises Mitt's performance while explaining the Obama campaign has reviewed the tape and adjusted their strategy for the next debate.
Don't ask Bill Clinton for any clues pointing to a (Hillary) Clinton 2016 bid. "I have no earthly idea what she'll decide to do," Clinton told Bob Schieffer on CBS's Face the Nation.
Leading into this week's Democratic National Convention, the question everyone's either asking or answering is, "Are we better off than we were four years ago?" Republicans are using it as an attack, and the Democrats are on their heels trying to answer.
Mitt Romney said he was "very proud" of his health care legislation, and he defended those pesky offshore bank accounts, in an interview on Fox News Sunday; while Reince Priebus downplayed the effects Isaac will have on the Republican convention.
Paul Ryan dominated the conversation on Sunday. McCain called him a 'a bold choice,' and compared him to Palin; David Axelrod called him 'bright,' but 'wrong;' and Tim Pawlenty tried to convince us he's 'not disappointed,' with getting passed over, again.
Reince Priebus steals the headline for calling Harry Reid a "dirty liar," but everyone else on the Sunday talk shows couldn't stop talking about Reid, Romney, and the debate over the Republican needing to release more of his tax returns.
Democrats came out swinging on Sunday, taking coordinated shots across the Sunday shows at Romney's questionable offshore finances, while poor Bobby Jindal was left to defend Romney.
Reports from Fox News, The Washington Post, Politico, and others are saying that Newt Gingrich will suspend his campaign next Tuesday.
