RNC Chairman Quits After Just 10 Months, Declares "Mission Accomplished"Posted by Jillian at 5:30 PM on October 20, 2007.
Jillian: Oh? What "objective" was that, Sen. Martinez? Denying
This post, written by Jillian, originally appeared on Sadly No!Mel Martinez is stepping down as RNC chairman a little early. His reason for doing so is fairly peculiar, if I do say so myself:
Martinez, a prominent Cuban-American who is up for re-election in 2010, said he was relinquishing the job to spend more time focusing on his Florida constituents. He also said the RNC had achieved the objective he set when he assumed the job in January(emphasis added)
Oh? What "objective" was that, Mel? Denying little kids health insurance? Smearing twelve year olds? Lying about the fact that you authorized torture after telling everyone that you didn't authorize torture? Politicizing the Justice Department by firing attorneys who didn't toe the line? Commuting the sentences of the cronies in your party who did hatchet jobs for the Executive office, and reinforcing the popular opinion that y'all think you're above the law? Kicking puppies in the head?
The idea that anyone in the Republican party can use a phrase that means "Mission Accomplished" in relation to what they've done over the last ten months is just a staggering admission of hubris and stupidity. Keep it up, guys! We're all rooting for you. I have some solid intelligence that this website is a prime gathering location for al Qaeda terrorists who support universal healthcare - I strongly urge you to round up everyone you find pictured here and send them to Guantanamo for waterboarding. That'll show everyone exactly what you stand for!
Gavin adds: Will the last Hispanic in the GOP please turn the lights off? Kthxbai.
