Another Michael Steele gaffe

Via Think Progress:

Today, the White House is hosting a bipartisan meeting on health care reform, featuring President Obama, Congressional Democrats and Congressional Republicans. On MSNBC this morning, RNC Chairman Michael Steele mocked the summit, saying that it is something that should have happened a year ago.

...Host Chuck Todd immediately pointed out that in fact the White House did host a televised, bipartisan health care forum almost exactly a year ago on March 5, 2009. “Does that one not count?” asked Todd. “Well, apparently it didn’t,” replied Steele, flippantly adding, “because we don’t have health care and we don’t have the reform that everybody’s been talking about.”
