Elevating the dialogue

Stay classy, Republicans:

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus thought Sunday morning that President Barack Obama merited being compared to Francesco Schettino, the captain of the turned over cruise ship in Italy. Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation, Priebus pivoted from a discussion about the GOP presidential primary and offered his comparison to a bemused Bob Schieffer. “We’re going to talk about our own little Captain Schettino,” Priebus said. “Which is President Obama who’s abandoning the ship here in the United States and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president.”
