Last Call

Looks like Nancy Pelosi's best ally to get a full investigation underway? Guess. Who else would stick their foot in it when the Republicans are feeling cocky? RNC head Michael Steele, that's who.

During a Sunday broadcast, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, in the midst of attacking Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for accusing the Central Intelligence Agency of lying, offered his support for an investigation of the Bush administration’s torture program.

Speaking on MSNBC’s Meet the Press, Steele asserted that Pelosi had “stepped in it big time” when she said the CIA had misled Congress in its briefings on torture techniques approved by the Bush administration.

“I think you have heard a lot of Republicans call for that,” he said. “If this is a door that the Democrats and their leaderships, they have the House and Senate and the presidency, and if they want to expose all this, then let’s put it all on the table and take a closer look at it.”

Somewhere, Dick Cheney just shot his TV/monitor, because that's the LAST THING Republicans really want.

On the other hand, wouldn't a weekly political match-up show between Michael Steele and Joe Biden be the greatest thing ever? At any given moment, at least half of Washington would be screaming "NO YOU IDIOT!" at their TVs.

Kind of like how at least half of America does that now screaming at Washington.
