Bil Kristol’s dumb-muppet is not a fan of Republican Almost-Obama, Michael Steele:
The latest in a never-ending series of gaffes from the RNC chairman:
Having already lost control of Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008, the party has been battered in recent months with admissions of infidelity by two prominent party members — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Nevada Sen. John Ensign — and the surprising announcement by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin that she will resign as Alaska’s governor at the end of the month.
All three had been viewed as possible GOP presidential candidates in 2012.
Steele on Wednesday brushed off the recent incidents as "old news, old school."
"That’s not the generation of candidates I’m trying to groom, he said.
Given that Palin is basically in a statistical tie with Romney and Huckabee for the pole position in the 2012 primary, it’s not clear why Steele keeps shooting his mouth off about a favorite among the rank and file, but he’d be well advised to zip it. Also, it would be helpful if Steele could just let us know which candidates he is grooming so that the party can quarantine them in case the stupidity is contagious.
Michael Steele would be wise to heed the words of the former McCain message ninja because, y’know, y’know. Just cuz…

She still won’t fuck you Mike. Get on with life.
Well THAT little diatribe ought to just shut Steele right the fuck up!
Tom65, which Mike are you addressing?
I gotta agree with the Pride of Princeton here; I don’t think Michael Steele knows anything about grooming candidates
I have no comment on the incident other to say that Michael Goldfarb is a pompous, smug-looking, grotesque asshole who should just STFU.
Sadly, the 10/08 link to Goldfarbitude, she has been removed. Guess I’m just gonna hafta trust you on this one, TBogg, but you’re not a mutual fund so I’ll go by past performance and second asiangrrlMN.
Wonder if he knows that both Bill Bradley AND Aaron Burr are fellow Princetonians? Bet if he were alive, Aaron Burr would shoot Goldfarb, too. Mike’s an ungainly, repulsive sprout as well as an almost incredibly stupid fucktard.
I don’t think Michael Goldfarb likes any black men and is really, really annoyed that the rules committee admitted one to his all white boys club (the GOP).
“…Palin is basically in a statistical tie with Romney and Huckabee for the pole position in the 2012 primary…” Yep. Just like cholera, dysentery and leprosy are neck-and-neck for “disease of the ages.” Just because the contest is “close” doesn’t mean anyone stands to gain anything once the winner is found.
What kind of grooming does he do? I know you wouldn’t trust your dogs to him, but if we could just get him work as a groomer he would go away. If it’s people grooming, he might opt for a mirror. Even “Erised”
I think it’s the type of grooming my cats do – you know, lick every part of the body they can reach, then lick the paws for the rest.
Why do most right-wing bloggers look so stupid? (This is not a riddle)
Why does shit stink? (This is an alternative formulation)
Goldfarb’s disgustingly sexist reference to Palin’s “pole position” needs to be denounced by right-thinking conservatives everywhere.
In the high-larry-us world of mixed metaphors, Goldfarb et al. are hitching their wagons to a sinking ship, and it never, ever gets old.
I don’t give a shit about Goldfarb one way or another but lets face facts on Steele.
I would say that he has such an overwhelmingly overly inflated sense of his importance that it puts to shame bursting tight baloons world-wide. Even reasonbly powerful RNC chairs don’t ‘groom’ Presidential candidates, that decision is made far above their paygrade by a combination of the top electeds and the paymasters for the party, you know the guys that pay the bills to keep the lights on in Steele’s office. This goes double when you are the compromise choice after multiple rounds of voting.
Steele is a lackey who doesn’t seem to know his place. And you can bet that in their private thoughts and private meetings some of the real movers and shakers of the party have a more apt name that they dare not utter publicly.
While I am not a big fan of J.C. Watts, at least he had the self-awareness to see exactly how he was being used by the GOP and knew enough to step away from the game. Michael S is in the position of being a Ken Blackwell wannabe (a pretty pathetic situation in itself) while thinking of himself as The Man of Steele.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while, it seems that Goldfarb has properly identified the nut in quesiton.
Yeah…. Goldfarb DOES sort of resemble a blind squirrel! Uncanny!
But the only reason “Palin is basically in a statistical tie with Romney and Huckabee for the pole position in the 2012 primary,” is because 10% of the Wingnuts want someone in charge who’s too stupid to ask questions when they request financial bailouts amounting to trillions of dollars, 40% want lower taxes, regardless of the consequences, and the other 50% are desperate for a candidate they can masturbate to during the SOTU address.
