Michael Steele Knows He Can Make This 'Bill Of Rights, For Old People' Schtick Work, He Just *Knows* It!

 Jesus, didn't Michael Steele shame himself   enough times   last week to realize that he should never talk about anything related to health care, publicly, again? He must really care about passing this very detailed Seniors' Bill of Rights he introduced last week, which would heroically prevent lawmakers from EVER making any cuts to Medicare, a program which he also hates and considers indicative of why government programs are inherently dysfunctional. Good for Michael Steele!

But doesn't he realize that the very old Republicans and independents with whom he's trying to curry favor with this video are TERRIFIED OF HIS RACE? Get Pat Boone in the next ad, maybe? After all, he's built a half-century's career out of converting black peoples' work into more palatable fare for flocks of old white racists.
