Steele Not Exactly Uber Competent

I hope Republican chairman Michael Steele's latest gaffe, is a gaffe, meaning that he really isn't trying to take the party a different direction on issue of life. Certainly so far his comments have been cringe-worthy and only serve to make the Republicans continue to look like the old Washington Senators (or Washington Generals, pick your sport).

The lack of competence on the part of Republicans mirrors an even greater lack found on the Democratic side of the aisle of course. It's dangerous when you have both parties not knowing what the hell they're doing. Whereas we used to long for JFK's mythical Camelot, now we'll all take Competence and rejoice if we get even close to it (to the tune from the musical):
Competence! Competence!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Competence, Competence
That's how conditions are...

Competence! Competence!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Competence, Competence
Those are the legal laws.
