Hypocritical Quote of the Day: shouldn’t you be happy, moron?

From RNC chairman Michael Steele, talking about (being a Republican, what else?) the failed terror attempt on Christmas Day:

Relevant excerpt below, from Think Progress:

‘What it is is looking at the approach this administration has taken from its very first moments coming in talking about closing down Gitmo with no strategy or plan to do that and here we are a year later and Gitmo is still part of the mix. Now with this recent incident given everything in between, there is this image at least that’s been created, this presence of the presidency and so forth that is not consistent in their approach to foreign policy [blah blah blah …]’

Funny how Steele is now bemoaning how Guantanamo Bay hasn’t been closed yet, considering he’s one of the countless Republicans (which is to say, all of them) who’ve attacked Obama’s decision to shut Gitmo down. It’s equally interesting how he demands that there be a plan to deal with the detainees who would be transferred to high-security federal prisons, when this is the exact plan that he whined about when Obama proposed it.

Self-serving politicizing jackass.
