Michael Steele: Government Jobs Aren't Really "Jobs"

Am I crazy, or did newly-elected RNC chair Michael Steele actually argue on ABC this morning that government jobs aren't really jobs?

I'm paraphrasing, but Steele basically argued that the stimulus bill won't create any jobs because the government would only be hiring people for a couple years, and jobs with a "fixed period" of time don't count as real jobs. I kid you not.

Steele's employment contract with the RNC undoubtedly lasts for a fixed period of time, which raises the question: does Steele consider himself employed?
