Yesterday we had a rush of healthcare news coming out. The funny thing is how as soon as excitement broke out across the Blogosphere on the news confirmed by Rep. Weiner's "Nice Person" that the CBO was in the process of scoring Single Payer so they would have numbers to look at before there was a vote on it on the House floor two things jumped out in the news to follow:

BENEATH THE SPIN
Those of us who pointed out that Michael Steele was elevated to Chairman of the Republican National Committee as both a token, and as attack-dog-in-chief against President Obama should feel completely vindicated. No further evidence need be presented than what recently took place when Mr. Steele had the audacity to say that he was the head of the Republican Party, not Rush Limbaugh. In response Limbaugh all but literally told him to stay in his place.

The Red State Trike Force has lost their way and is desperately recruiting more people to push the GOP's continued descent into obscurity...
Eric Cantor and Michael Steele are doomed to kill off any support from the remaining base in their already splintered party if they try to win new voters over by repudiating the radicals on the right, and doomed to remain in the minority and even more likely to make the GOP a third party in the political pecking order if they continue to appease the batshit loopy base they have to work with now.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't... And just too damned funny to not watch!
Republicans: "Look Y'all–We Got Us One Too!"

BENEATH THE SPIN • ERIC L. WATTREE
Republicans: "Look Y'all–We Got Us One Too!"
I hate to be cynical, and I certainly hate to drag the issue of race back into the public debate while President Obama and literally millions of Americans of good will are working so hard to put this ugly issue behind us, but where I come from we believe in calling a hat a hat. And the fact is, the Republican Party's selection of Michael Steele as the very first Black chairman of the Republican National Committee in its 153 year history, just reeks of political manipulation.
But I'm virtually certain that my Republican friends are going to say, "We just can't win–first you criticize us for not being inclusive enough, now you're criticize us for electing a Black man as head of the party. Exactly what do we have to do to make you happy?"
