President Shizzle


We thought Rethuglican National Committee chairclown Michael "The Shizzle" Steele had met his gaffe-a-week limit on Monday, when he was punked into making disparaging comments about former Rethug Sen. Norm Coleman, who's rumored to be interested in The Shizzle's job. We were wrong.

There are reports that The Shizzle has sent a form e-mail out to the diplomatic community in Washington, seeking meetings with them. Rethuglican leaders and operatives are scratching their heads. We believe that the fundamental problem is that The Shizzle thinks he plays a role parallel to the President's, sort of a government-in-exile. He virtually said as much when he began his ill-fated term as chairclown. So The Shizzle thinks that he should be in touch with foreign governments, like the President is, because he thinks that's his role as the "out of office" President. Someone needs to stage an intervention, but please, for the Dems' sake, not before the elections.
