Ben Stein just gave the most hilarious commentary on Steel

[liberal N proud]

CBS Sunday Morning had a Ben Stein commentary. In his dry tone he blistered his parties leader.

Talked about him being a poor choice and his private jets as well as his night club expenses.

It is not online yet. If it does, I will post it when I find it.

4. Found the transcript of the opinion at CBS

Still can't find the video...

Here are the last few paragraphs:

Now, it is clear just how ill-advised a choice he was. Stories are pouring out of the RNC to the effect that Mr. Steele is demanding the Committee get him a private jet, which is a heck of a big bite. (I don't have one!) In the meantime, he rents one fairly often.

Mr. Steele is running up fantastic tabs at super-expensive hotels and restaurants, including some near me in Beverly Hills. Just recently it was revealed that the RNC had been billed nearly two thousand bucks for "entertainment" at a West Hollywood strip club called Voyeur. (Hmmmm, that's near me, too.)

The RNC has asked the staffer who signed the expense chit to pay back the money, but the damage has got to be stopped. This lavishness is happening on Mr. Steele's watch, and he ain't watching.

The GOP is not the party of small town virtues and verities if it has multi-thousand-dollar bills for meals and drinks at The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Voyeur Club.

I am sure Mr. Steele is a fine man, and obviously a party guy in many ways. But he is not the man to lead the charge to get a GOP Congress and a GOP president in the next elections.

It is time for Mr. Steele to go.

Good bye, Mr. Steele. You will find everything you want in Baltimore.

3. I saw him on some show a couple of weeks ago. He

was on some panel and complaining about health care bill or something. When segment was ending he said he needed to say something first... (I am really paraphrasing here) and he talked about President Obama being such a good example in civility, being patient and speaking graciously to and about everyone. Classy. (Then he added something like "I don't know why he yelled at Israel though")

I just thought it was a nice touch and a good point I am surprised more don't make

5. He actually supported the reform

In a piece he did the weekend everyone was all fired up, he sounded like he supported health care reform. It blew me away.
