Michael Piñata

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has made himself into a joke with his zany comments and flounderings. It's so pronounced now that newsheads interviewing him just take for granted that they are going to smack him around like a piñata. At this point, they lose their street cred if they don't. It's not just that he's an easy target, he's made the meme jump to piñata so that's the role he plays every time he shows up on the air. Like as he spread more filth and foolishness opposing health reform on CNN today:



He's not even prepared enough to know the answer when the newsheads ask him what health insurance company he's covered by. He's so much a punching bag that even Joe Scarborough, a Republican ex-Congressman, takes his pokes and grins with contempt at the mo-ron as he does so. Joe Scarborough!



The other day Steele said he doesn't "do policy" which is the essence of The Party of No. It's not that they stopped doing policy when Obama got elected, they stopped when George W. Bush was appointed to the Presidency by the Supreme Court back in 2000 and Karl Rove took over policy for purely political gain. They aren't just The Party of No right now, they're The Party of Nothing. The Party of Stupid, Stupid Lies. Which is to say, The Party Against the People. They are simple a fundraising apparatus with nothing of value coming out of the other end...unless you count extramarital affairs.

I'll take morons like Steele spouting "government takeover" all day like a fountain, when our President leading the health reform charge is sounding smart, measured and concerned about actual Americans, whether or not he gets everything locked in correctly by the end of the nearest news cycle:

Keep it coming, Michael, and maybe you can fill some of your fellow know-nothings with delicious candy.

I'll bring the wooden sticks.
