Feds Investigating GOP Savior Michael Steele

Republican never-was Michael Steele just barely managed to beat a South Carolina segregationist for the GOP chairmanship on January 30, and it only took a week for theWashington Postto run a front-page story about the current FEDERAL INVESTIGATION of Steele's latest campaign-money scandals.

It's a long and boring story, but you'll be fine if you know nothing beyond this summary: The latest criminal probe involves sketchy half-million-dollar bank transfers, various failed Steele campaigns, a company called "Brown Sugar International," and Mike Tyson's ex-wife (Steele's sister).
