Steele cites Tolstoy, but quotes Dickens during RNC debate
By David

There were few fireworks during Monday's debate between the candidates hoping to be the next Republican National Committee chair.

One of the more cringe-worthy moments came when the candidates were asked to name their favorite book.

Current RNC chair Michael Steele announced that his favorite book was War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.

But the crowd erupted in uncomfortable laughter when Steele quoted Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," he said.

5. He's still done better than Bush or Palin. At least he named a title
and managed a quotation, even if it's the wrong one. Bush said he was reading "some Shakespeares" and Palin said she read all the papers because she couldn't name one. LOL

7. Maybe Steele should chat with Bush, who, after all, read three Shakespeares!
