McCain on Steele: "I think those statements are wildly inaccurate and there is no excuse for them. I think that Mr. Steele is going to have to assess as to whether he can still lead the Republican Party as chairman of the Republican National Committee."
The New York Daily News calls Steel the "gaffe-master GOP honcho."
What will the Tea Partiers think of this? "It can all be traced to a Fish Pier luncheon in South Boston. Representative Barney Frank, the face of liberal Democrats, had once dismissed Senator Scott Brown, the poster candidate of Republicans and the Tea Party movement, by saying, “Having an old truck and two daughters are not usually policy arguments.’’ But now, in March, Frank was meeting Brown for an extended conversation, and the two quietly began laying the groundwork for the most unlikely of political partnerships… But whatever happens with the bill, the surprising effort at partnership provides a unique window into Frank’s political pragmatism, and Brown’s evolution as part of what might be called the Odd Couple of Massachusetts politics."
"House Republican leader Rep. John Boehner (Ohio) is hitting back at President Barack Obama after the president criticized him for comparing the financial crisis to an 'ant,'" The Hill writes. "In a new video posted online, Boehner suggests Obama should be focused on solving the nation’s myriad problems rather than attacking him. 'Mr. President, what about the country?” Boehner asks in the video, which intersperses lines from Obama’s speech last week in Racine, Wisc., with questions from the Republican leader.'"

It's beyond lame, this guy and his camp are broken.
Give Missus Steele's assistant an assistant to cover the double speak, there's too much rhetoric for one person to handle.
And the orange guy looks like he needs ointment to cover the seering sun tan.
Rep. Boehner really asked "Mr. President, what about the Country?" Seriously?
Does Boehner not realize that the GOP with HIM as it's face, has been vocally opposing EVERY single item on the President's legislative agenda? What about the Country? If Boehner was not so busy looking to extend the retirement age and apologize to BP while find8ing any way possible to attack Obama, the GOP MIGHT be able to find a leader to rally behind this November. I guess Rush is not interested in carrying the banner any longer...
Wailing Old Woeman Michelle Steele is much worse than Joe Biden when it comes to verbal gaffes. It's just too funny how he tried to pin the blame of invading Afghanistan on President Obama when it was his own War Criminals Bush and Cheney who did the trick with insufficient US boots on the ground and then they declared premature victory and bugged out of the real central front on the war against al-Qaeda. Really nice to see all the old stale pale males attacking their token Uncle Tom head of the RNC, that should go a long ways to proving their Racist tendencies.
Crybaby Boehner should get over being attacked for his clueless inaccurate description of the financial crisis triggered by the repugnant one's deregulation and tax cut welfare for the rich and greedy. Ignor-Ant Crybaby Boehner should never have compared the Double Dip Bush Recession as a tiny little ant because that tiny little ant is kicking our economic behinds. The financial reforms have been watered down by the repugnant ones who are paid by the Wall Street Thieves to protect their ability to scam the system to make their fast illegal gains at our expense.
How can we really expect anything positive from the Republicans today when all they do, with the strong overt and covert support from Special Interests and the select few who they serve, is to use scare tactics and emotional appeals to self-interests aimed to excite and manipulate? How can they solve any of the real problems we have when they won’t even address them and instead only irresponsibly fault and obstruct others efforts? How can we trust them when they literally put their political ambitions above all else and just use subterfuge to rationalize and justify? How can we expect anything constructive from them when all they do/say is aimed at returning to ‘more of the same’ that got us where we are? When Bush-Cheney, with the stubborn and arrogant full support of the Republican Party, spent eight years using their offices and America’s resources for a private agenda to benefit only Special Interests and a select few while giving the majority only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge to rationalize and to manipulate, how can we now ever realistically trust them to be different? When ‘deregulation’, ‘open markets’ and ‘small’ government is used to rationalize run-away greed, self-indulgence and gross dishonesty as being ‘conservative’ how can we then expect them to really support reform? To ever get the Republicans to once again be the ‘Grand Ole Party’ conscientiously, honestly and responsibly representing the people, which we should really want, we need to firmly reject what they have become, to resist their manipulation and to reject their subterfuge (and the ‘Tea Party’ movement just doesn’t get that as theirs’ is another deceptive manipulation of public opinion like ‘Swiftboat’ was). To accomplish that we really need to be more responsible ourselves by rejecting our own irrational ‘more-for-me-for-nothing’ mentality that feeds into accepting their destructive manipulation and instead be disciplined and objective to then make conscience driven choices.
