RNC chairman investigated over payments

Michael Steele was the Conservative Fool Of The Day for 3/2/06 because of his idiotic rants, such as the time he compared stem cell research to slavery and Nazi medical experiments - and because he took over 20 personal and political trips on state time as Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.

One of the major differences though between the Democrats and the Republicans is that scandal-tainted Democrats are usually treated as pariahs by their own party. (Just ask Rod Blagojevich.) But scandal-tainted Republicans are allowed to levitate to the party's highest positions.

Such is the case with Michael Steele, who was recently chosen to serve as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

In his new position, Steele is just as moronic as ever. Like the other day, he attacked Obama's economic plan because it might (gasp!) create jobs. Steele complained, "What this administration is talking about is making work. It is creating work."

George Stephanopoulos replied, "But that's a job."

But Steele responded, "No, it's not a job."

Then what is it? If it's creating work, it's a job!

Already, after only a week or two as RNC chairman, Steele is already facing a federal investigation. It seems that during Steele's ill-fated Senate bid, he arranged for his Senate campaign to pay a defunct company supposedly run by his sister for services that were never performed.

Oops.

Republican contributors ought to be boiling mad that their candidates waste campaign funds on things like this. But they never learn, and they keep on giving to the GOP.

Oh well. At least Republican supporters are now wasting their own money for a change.
