Tweety's HAMMERING Michael Steele over tax cuts

"Republicans came across like they're for tax cuts for the rich and raising taxes on the working class," and Steele is just nodding his head and going "I know," and Tweety is yelling "BUY WHY." and Steele is going "I don't know..."

Steele made the mistake of telling Tweety Obama "took the easy way out" by rising above the fray, and Tweety yelled "What is "EASY" about doing the right thing for the American people?"

Given the ammunition Tweety had the stEEle dolt didn't have a chance anyway. What are pubs doing, using the stEEle dolt as a sacrificial offering?

I've seen him on just about every MSNBC show. Today, he didn't have the ground to stand on. All he could do was say "I know, I know."

4. And as far as Republican analysts go, he's the least annoying and most personable. Of course, he's

5. I think Michael Steele has been somewhat interesting to watch since he left the RNC position.

If you watch him sometimes, you can tell that he is really conflicted as to whether or not he believes the crap coming out of his mouth.

It hasn't STOPPED the crap coming out of his mouth...but you CAN see that his heart doesn't seem to be as fully into it as when he was the RNC chairman.

8. Yea, he almost looks ashamed of himself sometimes. Its kind of sad.

I think the way a lot of people in the party treated him might've caused him to question some things. If there really is some kind of conflict there, hopefully he has a productive epiphany.

But doing the right thing IS always right.
