Mel Martinez is stepping down as RNC chairman a little early. His reason for doing so is fairly peculiar, if I do say so myself:
Oh? What "objective" was that, Mel? Denying little kids health insurance? Smearing twelve year olds? Lying about the fact that you authorized torture after telling everyone that you didn't authorize torture? Politicizing the Justice Department by firing attorneys who didn't toe the line? Commuting the sentences of the cronies in your party who did hatchet jobs for the Executive office, and reinforcing the popular opinion that y'all think you're above the law? Kicking puppies in the head?
