WASHINGTON (CNN) – Several members of the Republican National Committee are miffed at Newt Gingrich for claiming that they’re a small bunch of egomaniacs who need to be coddled by the party chairman....

Gingrich made the assertion on C-SPAN Thursday when asked about a new resolution put forth by some veteran members — including Norcross and RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen of Arizona — that would limit chairman Michael Steele’s ability to control how the committee spends its money....

Defending Steele’s tumultuous start, Gingrich said the chairman might be under fire from some in the committee because he “probably has not yet learned the art of massaging the egos of RNC members.”

“They all think they’re precious, and they all think they should be taken care of, and they all think the job of the chairman, first of all, is to make the RNC members happy,” Gingrich said of the committee’s 168 members.

12. Steele is answering to avowed racist Pullen

We Latinos in Zonieland are very familiar with Mr. Pullen who is an outspoken leader in the substantial hurt and hate Mexican sector of the GOP.

Mr. Pullen was one of the prime original movers in the movement to slander Mexican immigrants without papers, prey on the ignorance and complacence of the general population and the corporate media to scare and inflame our communities, and create the racist fascist police state that we are currently enduring in Arpaio's America (Maricopa County, Arizona).
