Michael Steele On CNBC - This Is Hilarious

There is nothing funny about anything going on in the world but if we can't laugh, we will become consumed by the world's problems. Laughter is the best medicine.

Michael Steele might be the biggest clown in American politics today. And that is saying something. Washington is defined by political bozos. (And so are many state capitals.)

If one ever questions the timelessness of political clowns, one only need to watch Michael Steele. Every single time this guy opens his mouth, bullshit is ejected at hyper speed. A garden of pure ideology.

One of the greatest gifts every human has is the gift of asking questions and of listening. Politicians are generally incapable of asking questions or listening but are simply waiting on their moment in the sun where they can deliver their speech about the future broken promises they are going to deliver. In that vein, Michael Steele doesn't seem to have any sense of when to shut the hell up. For his own benefit. Or, as the timeless maxim goes, he who speaks last loses. Instead, in politics the maxim is he who speaks last fares well. Or so they think. At around 7:30 minutes of this video things get really interesting. (After Steele remarked about how great job growth was under Bush.) Closing in on nine minutes through the end of the video, it becomes absolutely hilarious as Mark Haines buries him. I guess all we need to do is elect Michael Steele and all of our problems will be solved. How many times have we heard that one?
