As for Michael Steele - I have confidence in the American people - they can count. They know how many years we have been sending troops to the Middle East and who was president when this mess started.

Far more interesting is the Republican Party's inability to learn from the past. You would think they learned from the Sarah Palin fiasco - chosing leaders based on demographics (a woman! good looking! she hunts!) is not a recipe for success.

So they wanted a good looking articulate black man as party chairman to counterpoint President Obama. Be careful what you ask for - you just might get it!

It will be interesting to see how they extricate themselves. I enjoy imagining the backroom conversation!

Yes, LH, R, b, PS - we all know you do not think President Obama is articulate or good looking.
