RNC Chairman Mike Steele did the rounds on television this morning.

He blasted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s comparison of health care to civil rights, but also said there’s no reason Reid should not have the votes yet on the health care bill.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe today for a long segment, Steele said the bill is “whacked out” but said the Republicans have not been able to obstruct.

But in a bit of a math conundrum, Steele repeatedly says that Reid has a “20-seat majority” so, “why can’t he pass the daggone bill?”

Here’s Steele v. Reid v. Donnie Deutsch on the civil rights comments.
