Sen. Judd Gregg said RNC Chairman Mike Steele was using “foolish” language when he said Congress was “flipping the bird” at the American people.

Interviewed today on MSNBC Gregg (R-NH) called it “foolish language” and said “people are getting a little frayed down here and there has been a lot of foolish language on both sides of the aisle.”

He also was asked about a Washington Times report that Steele is raking in speaking fees. He said he wasn’t familiar with the issue but added a joke, “He shouldn’t charge Republcian groups for it that’s for sure.”
