I guess they have to put somebody from the Right up there. As much as I enjoyed ridiculing him while he was the GOP chairman, he has gained my respect for his restraint on air. I rarely agree with him, but I think he usually tries to be fair in making his arguments.

There is nothing wrong with being a conservative or a conservative Republican.
There is EVERYTHING wrong with the entity has taken control of the Republican party.

If he really thinks he was something other than the GOP token when he headed the GOP he is truly stupid.

Some of the things he said and did as chair could only be explained as self promotion, and it worked. He's on MSNBC.

I always respect an overmatched underdog when they show up and give it their best anyways.

This place they allow Mikie to pretend that he was a real force behind the 2010 teabagger victory. There's no way the old boys club over on Faux would. He's really a man without a party...pretending to represent a party that long since went off the political abyss.
