Faiz goes on MSNBC to address Steele controversy.

ThinkProgress has documented Michael Steele’s rocky start as chairman of the RNC, from attacking (and then quickly apologizing to) Republican party chief Rush Limbaugh, to flip-flopping on abortion. ThinkProgress editor Faiz Shakir went on MSNBC this afternoon and cited Steele’s string of failures:

SHAKIR: Looking at Michael Steele’s accomplishments here: He’s deceived the party on his views on choice; he’s shut down the GOP’s in-house think tank; he’s thrown out “slum love” to Bobby Jindal and one-armed midgets; he’s said it’s crazy for gay couples to join in civil unions; and then he lost the battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party to Rush Limbaugh. And this is the guy who the Republicans tell us is going to lead them out of the wilderness.

When asked how long he thought Steele would last as chairman, Faiz said, “I hope he stays around forever. … He’s great for comic relief.” Watch it:

Though some Republicans, including Mike Huckabee and Ken Blackwell, have gone public with their frustration with Steele, he insists he is not resigning: “Not me Baby! Nuh-uh. Not happening. No way, no how!”
