Michael Steele Sides With … Big Banks

Eugene Robinson thinks maybe Michael Steele is crazy like a fox. I think he\’s just plain crazy (and only slightly crazier than the GOP for hiring him in the first place), for a number of reasons, the latest of which is a real humdinger.

And, no, I\’m not talking about his apparent his temporal difficulties, or his inability to tell the difference between Trent Lott and HHarry Reid (something I\’ll get to in another post). Provided with an opportunity to perhaps win a modicum of credibility for himself and his party by taking on blatantly racist comments from Rush Limbaugh and downright bizarre comments from Pat Robertson in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Steele spoke up in defense of … big banks?
