Roberto? Is that you?
Michael Steele, the entertaining Chair of the RNCUC – the Republican National Committee for Unintentional Comedy – is at it again. First, he weighs in on global climate change:
“We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I am using my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process. Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right? Iceland, which is now green. Oh I love this. Like we know what this planet is all about. How long have we been here? How long? Not very long.”
(Hey, Michael – I’m using my finger here, too. And I’m not making quotation marks). But Steele isn’t just an expert on scientific matters, he’s also a keen historian, with a deep appreciation for education:
“Education is key,” said the RNC Chair. “It is where it begins, for all of us… If we understand the difference between Marxism, socialism and capitalism; if we understand the difference between a Roberto Mussolini, an Adolf Hitler, and a Franklin Roosevelt, and his honor the honorable Winston Churchill, if we know those differences than we can appreciate what these times mean. And how history is a precursor of things to come.”
Roberto? You can’t make this stuff up.
As the man says, “education is key.”
