Heretic!
At a Republican fundraiser, Michael Steele said that Afghanistan was a war of Obama’s choosing and that the U.S. could engage in non-military ways. Burn him!

Republicans In Disarray!
Can you remember back just over one year ago when the Republicans were electing the chair of the Republican National Committee? The last three choices came down to Michael Steele, the guy who was a member of an all-white country club and the guy who sent the “Barack the Magic Negro” song to his buddies for Christmas. Out of that bunch, Steele looked like the best choice.

GOP Donors Are Suckers
If Republican donors were mad about the Palin family clothes grab on donor’s dimes, I wonder how they’ll feel about this:
The Daily Caller examines the Republican National Committee’s FEC filings, and discovers a few things that are not likely to go over well with GOP donors. Such as:
Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele [...]
Things Are Tough All Over
Michael Steele and Harold Ford have a tour where they go around debating each other (don’t ask me why). During one of these appearances Michael Steele reflected on the plight of the common man:
The two often traded jokes, especially when Steele panned President Barack Obama’s long-stated plan to let income tax rates return to [...]
Wow. Just Wow.
Looks like the always interesting Michael Steele did a photo shoot with the Republican party interns. Please don’t drink liquid while viewing the pictures.
Bottom line, Michael Steele has no idea ‘what up’ with the Asian guy.

Another Dispatch From The GOP Braintrust
This is probably what you would consider a classic political gaffe:
It’s been a couple of weeks since the RNC’s Michael Steele said something foolish and had to walk it back, so I suppose we were due for another gem.
Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Michael Steele, who is known for making controversial statements, on Sunday said [...]
I’m Bored. Thank Goodness For The Village Idiot
Is there a bigger idiot than Michael Steele?
HOST: Very quickly, Chairman Steele. The feeling in some circles is that this health care train has left the station with President at the wheel, and Republicans better jump on board.
STEELE: Well, I’m the cow on the tracks, and you’re going to have to stop that train to [...]
Michael Steele Vs. Everyone
Michael Steele is not having a good month. Yesterday, Steele had some words about the American Medical Association:
Eric Zimmermann reports that the Republican National Committee has decided it no longer likes the American Medical Association.
Michael Steele took a shot at the American Medical Association (AMA) today, saying the organization doesn’t have “credibility” on healthcare [...]
The RNC Pals Around With Conspiracy Theorists And Seditionists
According to the new rules that the Republicans made, any connection to discredited conspiracy theories means that one is not fit for government service. So, how does the RNC justify its connections to both World Net Daily, the main pushers of the birther conspiracies, and Newsmax, who publishes a weekly column by John L. [...]

Michael Steele Is A Genius…
…Or not
With that in mind, it’s hardly a surprise that the White House hopes that Paterson decides not to run next year. What is a surprise is that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele apparently wants voters to think President Obama doesn’t like black people.
Michael Steele said it was “curious” on why the White House [...]
More Michael Steele FAIL
So what if you began a “Freedom Tour” and nobody came?
This is another tale of FAIL from Michael Steele and the GOP efforts to reach out to minorities. He begins this tour at Howard University — the tour lands at Historically Black Colleges and here you go:

Michael Steele Is The Perfect Leader For The GOP
Michael Steele both loves and hates Medicare. He is both opposed to government-run health care and doesn’t want any cuts. He doesn’t wants cuts to Medicare, but he does. Yeah, I don’t understand it either. I’m sure it’s an art piece, though, and Steele is some kind of existential genius. [...]

What Are Our Favorite Republicans Up To?
Michael Steele doesn’t know what an individual mandate is, Mark Sanford is thankful to God for his affair and a former head of the NRCC decides that the Bush doctrine isn’t so great after all.

Steele Declares Viriginia Is For Republicans
Grandmaster Steele is predicting a Republican win in the Virginia Gubernatorial Race in November 2010:
I would like to congratulate Bob McDonnell for being selected by Virginia Republicans today as their candidate for governor. It is going to be a tough fight, but we are well positioned for victory in November.
Given Steele’s inability to accomplish anything [...]
RNC Voting Today!
The meeting of the Republican National Committee ends today with votes on resolutions. If you remember, party activists forced a resolution to change the name of the Democratic party to the “Democrat Socialist Party,” despite the opposition of the Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele. The resolution would have forced Steele to refer to [...]

GOP Moderates Are to Be Seen, But Not Heard
Apparently GOP Chair Michael Steele has decided to deal with the flight of moderates from the GOP by defining their role:
“All you moderates out there, y’all come. I mean, that’s the message,” Steele said. “The message of this party is this is a big table for everyone to have a seat. I have a place [...]
Fear of an Ass (Backwards) Hat –UPDATED
From the Man Beyond the Cutting Edge:
“You wear your hat one way. You like to wear it, you know, kind of cocked to the left, you know, because that’s cool out West,” Steele said. “In the Midwest, you guys like to wear it a little bit to the right. In the South, you guys like [...]
Steele: “I Meant To Shoot Myself In The Foot”
That whole blow-up with Rush? Steele claims he did it on purpose. Gaffes are part of his strategy. Mistakes are… Made you look! What a sly fox. And here I just thought he was nuts.

Ho Hum, More Crazy Steele Talk
Steele channels Beck in his latest wacky word play. (Emphasis mine)
“I love this battle because what I see right now is leading to the ultimate political Armageddon between conservatism and liberalism,” Steele declared at one point. “And the idea that free enterprise, free markets, free people are going to battle an oppressive, repressive, domineering government.

Say Good-Bye To Steele
Michael Steele is pro-choice.
M (Michael Steele): The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life. So, you know, I think the power of the argument of choice boils down to stating a case for one or the other.
L: Are you saying you think [...]

The New Face of the GOP Indeed
Get your coffee and then settle in to see this (I think about 5 or 6 mins long):
He already has the FBI looking into a campaign payment to a defunct company owned by his sister. Today we see the full embrace of the movement tactics of just funneling money to your buds. Who [...]

Steele’s New Hip Hop GOP in Action
Grab the popcorn, this just gets better and better.
SLIWA: Now, using a little bit of that street terminology, are you giving him any Slum love, Michael?
STEELE: (laughter)
SLIWA: Because he is — when guys look at him and young women look at him — they say oh, that’s the slumdog millionaire, governor. So, give me some slum love.
