Talkingpointsmemo's Josh Marshall: Michael Steele: My Limbaugh Goof Was 'All Strategic'

[flpoljunkie]

Hmmm, That Was Interesting

03.25.09 -- 5:32PM By Josh Marshall

Michael Steele just did an interview on CNN. And in addition to speculating about a possible future run for president, he seemed to say that his blow-up with Rush Limbaugh was actually a strategic decision to see, or rather smoke out, who would stand up and criticize him if he did something really stupid.

I guess he got his answer: a lot of people.

1. Back pedal much, Michael Steele? n/t

3. I saw a circus clown ride a bicycle backwards once.

He wasn't as good as this idiot.

[Hutzpa]

9. I guess he keeps clattering into the wall

while this genius keeps riding a hole...:rofl:

[merh]

2. He thinks it was stupid to call out RL?

The RNC deserves this guy, they really do.

4. The SECRET STRATEGY!

Step 1: Set low expectations
Step 2: Lower expectations as necessary
Step 3: Exceed expectations!

[Hutzpa]

5. And here he is saying it aloud

stupid much....

"here we are, entertain us while it last"

[Clio the Leo]

6. Doesn't he mean "strategeric ..... BABY!"?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. LOL!

[Political Tiger]

8. So he was testing Limpballs?

I see another apology coming from Steele to the Boss Hog.

[Cha]

10. That's just fucking stupid.

Revealing what a jerkoff ass he is or he's lying again. Either way steele goes down.

[RoyGBiv]

11. So, wait ...

He wants to see who supports him when he does something stupid, so he criticizes/apologizes to Limbaugh.

I guess that apparently wasn't enough since now he is doing yet another stupid thing by coming up with this asinine crap.

So, is this a PsyOp or something?

12. I did the same thing with my wife of 20 years...

Just last weekend I told her I married her only to see who would object if I married her. :crazy:

And Steele is full of horseshit...

[ErinBerin84]

13. heh!

Liar liar, pants on fire!


Oh my god, it would be really hilarious if he ran for president though.

[Marsala]

14. Steele: "I MEANT TO DO THAT!"

Is he a Republican or a third grader? Not that there's much difference in maturity between the two anyway...

[Snotcicles]

15. He barely got that excuse thunk up before the statute of limitation ran out. nt

[DebbieCDC]

16. Without a doubt that is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard

This guy is certifiable.

[tosh]

17. Yeah, right.
