RNC Chair in Deep Trouble?

News out this morning via the ever-handy Twitter that Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele was (and might still be) called into an "emergency meeting" comprised of senior elected Party officials. Word is Steele's about-to-be-released book has pretty much gone over like a ton of bricks amongst the big wigs. Could this be Steele's Waterloo? He's been pretty much embattled as Chairman since the first day he won the job.

UPDATE: According to the Washington Post, Steele's big problem not be only that he apparently failed to tell anybody about his book (a 12-Step Formula to defeating the Obama agenda, at least if the title is any indicator), but perhaps more importantly, he might have overstepped the conditions of his employment by signing a book deal. Being RNC Chair means you act and speak for its benefit, not your own.

Steele could, of course, argue that his book is meant to benefit the Party, since it's supposedly a blueprint for attacking Obama. But that's a pretty veiled defense, at best.
