Spendy RNC Action Figure Michael Steele threatens to knock the dicks out of the mouths of the Republicans he represents if they don’t just shut up and let him learn how to do stuff on his own, Gawd, you guys, you’re so mean!:
ABC News’ Aaron Katersky and Rick Klein report: RNC Chairman Michael Steele is lashing out his critics, with a series of blunt messages for prominent Republicans who have blasted him over his leadership for the Republican Party.
“I tell them to get a life. That’s old Washington, that’s old ways, and I don’t represent that, and that kills them,” Steele told ABC News Radio in an interview today.
“I’m telling them and I’m looking them in the eye and say I’ve had enough of it. If you don’t want me in the job, fire me. But until then, shut up. Get with the program or get out of the way.”
Steele was responding to a series of reports — most recently in today’s Washington Times — where prominent GOP operatives and fund-raisers have criticized Steele for seeming to focus more on his own image (and pocketbook) rather than the good of the party.

“…where prominent GOP operatives and fund-raisers have criticized Steele for seeming to focus more on his own image (and pocketbook)”
Wait, I’m confused. Politicians are supposed to focus on something other than themselves?
Brother kkkan’t kkkatch a breakkk. MC Steele all about teh standup. Really.
Michael Steele: Still trying to convince people that he’s not Rush Limbaugh’s bitch; still failing.
Word. This outburst will last about as long as it takes Rush to reel him back in.
“”That’s old Washington…”"
Steele said, pointing to his small, flacid pecker…
Since the Republicans didn’t put Steele in that position because they thought he might have any competence, I’d say they’re getting exactly what they paid for. Just because Steele himself thinks he “won” the job because they thought he’d be really good at it is no reason for them to be pissin’ and moanin’ about him now — they knew he was just that dumb when they picked him. Mama shoulda told them to be more careful what they wished for.
“I don’t represent that, and that kills them.” I hope someone near and dear to him takes a moment to point out to the outspoken black man that he’s the one who may well end up killed, quite literally, if he continues the uppity routine in the face of a bunch of white yahoos who have no problem lugging their
penis-extendersautomatic rifles to random political events? Srsly, Steele, watch your back…The abysmal failure of the Sarah Palin gambit led us to the inescapable conclusion that only another gambit could get us out of the wilderness.

In a way, he’s right. For Republicans in Washington, getting fame and glory and money for yourself, to the detriment of the party, is the new way. George W. Bush tried his darnedest to do this, and the results spoke for themselves in 2006 and 2008, and hopefully 2010.
That is more of a Democratic trait than it is a Republican one. If the R’s had 60 votes in the Senate they’d pass any fucking thing they wanted to. As it was, they passed most of the legislation that Bush wanted and they did it with less than 60 Senators. If the Senate chamber was to catch fire tomorrow Mitch McConnell would yell “Outside boys!” and the Republicans would all be standing on the lawn in less than two minutes. The Democrats would burn to death while Harry Reid negotiated precedence with Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson.
Frankly, I’m astonished that Steele has lasted this long. He’s basically been a continuous embarrassment for the GOP since he was installed.
I have to wonder if the Old Whiteboys Club is actually afraid to fire him. After all, despite his rather hideous track record (epic fund-raising fail, constant embarrassing foot-in-mouth moments, consistent inability to understand or articulate issues facing either the party or the country, etc.), Steele could start yelling about how he was fired because of his race. And that would pretty much be indefensible for the Old Whiteboys Club since they have their own hideous record (and retinue) of racism (and racists) that’s very much current in the news these days.
Okay, Mr. TBogg – where are the d___ bassetts? It’s Thursday, y’know; it’s been kind of a bad day, reference the country and myself, personally; I want my bassetts!
Owoooooooo!
Er, um, I mean, YOUR bassetts!
And BOOBIES! What happened to the boobies?
Don’t forget boobies.
Where the heck are the boobies?
Wait, I’m confused. Politicians are supposed to focus on something other than themselves?
Now I’m really confused. I thought the whole concept of the Republican Party was “sucking up” for personal gain/tax breaks!
And has anyone else noticed that Palin is starting to resemble a chunky Jane Fonda?
“”That’s old Washington…””
Steele said, pointing to his small, flacid pecker…
Formerly known, in its younger days, as “Old Johnson.”
I can’t believe ORMark @13 wants to see the Hugh Hewitt boobies picture again. I believe I speak for everyone else here when I say
DO
NOT
WANT
Do Steele’s Republican masters know he carries a pocketbook?
Why not? Some of us like to laugh at HH and his boobies. But since you “speak for everyone else here” I suppose you’ll get your way. Fucking party pooper!
