Hmmm, That Was Interesting

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.

2. Wow does he really think folks will fall for that?

Is that the political equivalent of trying to pretend that you meant to trip and fall on your face?

He brings box of rocks to a whole new level.

5. Yep,

That box of rocks is looking pretty smart compared to Steele! :evilgrin:

Every time I think he can't get any more ridiculous, he proves me wrong!

3. So, it's like a pro wrestling script?

What's next; challenging someone to a hair match - loser has to shave his head? So nice to see the level of discourse we can expect from the Republicans. Somewhere between the intrigues of junior high school and a slap fight on the short bus. Now there's some people to whom you want to entrust the running of the country!

What a pantload.
