Calling Dr. Steele, Dr. Tin Man Steele


A good rule of public speaking is not to accept an invitation to address a topic that you are unfamiliar with. You might get follow-up questions that will give you a "deer in the headlights" moment. Such was the case with Rethuglican National Committee chairman Michael "Tin Man" Steele, who was at the National Press Club today to attack President Obama's health insurance plan, but who couldn't answer some basic questions about the health care system in the U.S. Of course, the Rethugs like things the way they are, and want to use the Democrats' health care legislation vote to hand President Obama a defeat (see Rethug Sen. Jim "Demented" DeMint's vile comments posted on Saturday).

By virtue of his position, Tin Man certainly gets Cadillac-level health insurance, but we're not sure whether it covers the extraction of his head from his ass.

BONUS: Tin Man continues with his "off the hook" approach to drawing more minorities into the Rethug party. His latest? "My plan is to say: Y'all come, I got the fried chicken and potato salad."

An' don't forgets duh watermelon, Missuh Tin Man, suh!
