Well, they say the first step toward fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem. . . .

After 100 days of hand wringing and half-measures, Republican Party Pooh-Bah Michael Steele has hit upon what might be the GOP’s Best. Strategy. Evah.

We can’t go back out and start pointing fingers at the Democrats and saying, “look how bad they’re performing, look at what they are doing with the economy,” when we jumpstarted this thing. We were the ones who put the 700 billion on the table and said, “all right, let’s start nationalizing the banking system,” so for no for us to stand back and say that’s a bad thing to do is disingenuous. So, let’s own up, do the "my bad," and move forward.

I wish I had my FDL instant comedy players handy, because this sounds like a ready-made skit. Errant predator strike—my bad. Tanked the economy—my bad. Drowned a city—my bad. Bungled two wars—my bad. Tossed the Constitution out with the recycling—my bad. Disappeared and tortured people—my bad.

[cue laugh track]

Now let’s move on.

The GOP—all about looking forward.

Update: Christy tells me that Steel has tried this before. . . in February. Sigh. A hundred days and already in reruns.

I wonder how long before the GOP decides on a summer replacement.
