Fire Michael Steele Now

Michael Steele, the new Chairman of the Republican Party and the first black person to serve as such, has shot himself in the foot with both barrels. He want on CNN, a bastion of liberalism, and dismissed Rush Limbaugh as an "entertainer" whose show is "incendiary" and "ugly."

Powerline and Michelle Malkin cover the story in greater depth. Powerline points out that Steele, like liberals who bash Limbaugh, has never listened to his show. He is merely parroting leftwing propaganda. Those of us who have listened to Rush's show many times know that this charge is patently untrue. Rush is funny, informed and generally upbeat. As Powerline points out, he is more of a teacher than an entertainer.

Malkin mentions another reason why Steele's judgment is questionable. When one leftard told Steele that the Republican National Convention resembled "Nazi Germany" Steele replied "Agreed."

Fire this asshat before he does any greater damage.
