Michael Steele's Disasterous CNN Interview (w/DNC knifing) [Video]
Michael Steele's Disasterous CNN Interview (w/DNC knifing)...

<...>

4.The interview was then capped by the CNN anchors asking Steele who his insurer was. He COULDN'T ANSWER. To repeat: The head of the RNC could NOT name his health care insurer. The DNC response was quick and biting:

The slip-up was immediately seized upon by the Democratic National Committee, which charged that Steele's hesitation was further evidence that he and the RNC are out of touch and only interested in political warfare when it comes to health care.

"It must be nice to have the luxury of not even knowing the name of your own health care provider, but Michael Steele's comments today, and the Republican strategy of working to kill reform for their own political purposes, is simply insulting to the millions of American families and businesses struggling with soaring health care costs," read a statement from DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.

If there is any justice, this, combined with DeMint, would be used in an ad. It was an embarrasment in every way. Kudos to CNN for holding his feet to the fire.

1. That's some good messaging
Steele is not the sharpest drawer in the blade... and this is some good stuff to make ads from.

Bring it!

2. Symptomatic of the GOP's "I've got mine, so fuck everyone else" mentality
