Go Home

Steele finally came out of the basement and was interviewed by CNN. Michael Steele is just so smart. I don't mean you and me smart, I mean Chess smart. Man, he's got us all fooled. Every silly comment and action he's made since he narrowly won an election to be the head of the RNC is really a cold calculated step that he's got down to a Boris Spassky---Bobby Fischer,---Garry Kasparov type chess master science.

Steele: I'm a cause and effect kind of guy, so if I do something there's a reason for it. Even, it may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, a logic behind it.

Q: Even with the current news and events there's a rational behind Rush, all of that stuff?

Steele: Yep.

Q: You wanna share with us?

Steele: I want to see where the landscape looks like,. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me , but really isn't....

Q: How does that help you?

Steele: It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand you know, where the enemy camp is and where those who inside the tent are, ahhh

Q: It's all strategic.

Steele: It's all strategic.

He's been fooling us all. When he called Limbaugh "ugly," that was all a clever ruse to weed out his enemies. His apology to Rush was all part of the master plan. How ingenious. I myself like to open up a chess game using the Sicilian Defense, which starts with a e4 c5 move, but he's using strategies never before seen in the history of chess. What a true master! Michael 'Spassky' Steele.

And I'm a spiritual person so his belief in GOD is his own, but it's just offensive when he uses the GOD word to talk about possibly running for President on the second clip. He repeats the word "ugly" again---to describe politics now, but it's "ugly" to watch him speak like that. He knows its' not an option for a man who already is being asked to quit the RNC job he just got. What an utter embarrassment this man is to the GOP, but I'm certainly entertained keeping an eye on a true master of Pawns and Knights.

sleepless nights in order to come up with that rationale in an attempt to save his current job.

As for leaving it up to God to determine whether or not he runs for President ... I wonder if his God and Sarah Palin's God are on the same page?

What a joke! Steele's upset because he was made to look like a fool by his own party and he's trying to save face.

The thought of him running for President is scary.

DannyEastVillage's picture

He's the right guy at the right time. Between him and Rush they oughta be able to finish off their party pretty quickly. Let 'em roll!

Bring it on!

I think it's funny. Like Bozo's circus. Palin can hand out the prizes for each bucket he makes.

NOBODY 2012

spending one half million dollars a minute on the war in Iraq.

And Steele wants to talk about fatso Limbaugh.
And Obama talks about anything but Iraq.

Of course there are questions at the presser about race, but none about Iraq.
None about the increased use of drones in Pakistan which are killing ever more civilians.
Nothing about shipping the 12 percent of troops which might be lucky enough to get out of Iraq to Afghanistan.

Noop.

Limbaugh.
Chess.
Style.

We deserve better than this crappy leadership.

Rduke's picture

Are you saying that Obama did not talk about Iraq in the press conference (BESIDES ALLUDING TO HOW ITS COST WAS NOT CONTAINED IN THE BUDGET)... Because NO one asked him about it??..

You serious??

Steele is a LOSER!

Dear America,
I'm really not a handkerchief head cringing uncle tom. I just play that role to trick "whitey". I'll keep an eye on Limbaugh for everyone...in fact I'm close to him as I speak. BTW, what does Rush mean when he demands that I "toss his salad"?

RNC Chairman Micheal Steele

Isome's picture

You pulled out the "handkerchief head" line. Wow. *lol*

Steele is the type of handkerchief head the GOP likes: he needs their validation so he's good at regurgitating most of their talking points and he's much more ignorant and transparent than he realizes.

The BLACK GUY who slid into the RNC chair as the GOP's answer to Obama is a grandmaster of historical revisionism. And a self-serving asshole, God bless him.

KWillow's picture

The Repugs are such racists, they truly believe Obama won the Presidency because he is African-American. Therefore: "We shall run a n****r of our own!" Stupid, cubed.

I'd say Steele is the right person for his job. Hope they keep him around forever.

That man is giving lots of comedians lots of good st-tick. I can not believe that God has graced all of us so much at these trying times to give us the the best of comedy with the RePUGs and Steele.

Wow, that was one of the worst lies I've ever seen anyone try to deliver on national TV. THUD!

Trittydi's picture

Okay - We're starting to need word balloons here. We need another one for the bitch-slap Obama gave the idiot Ed Henry over his stupid question at the press conference.

So what he's saying is that he;s going to follow the same path as Katherine Harris and Oliver North & Dan Quayle who have all made the same devine claim. He's clearly bound for greatness.

Yeah, but Seth Meyer probably didn't realize THEY'VE ONLY *GOT* one black guy. It's a moot point.

Annaleigh's picture

"it was strategry" lie. When I saw it, I thought "damn, this needs to be on C & L."

However, I'm not amused by the legion of GOP clowns whom God always "tells" to run for the Presidency or other higher office.

He apparently doesn't tell them to enlist in the military to fight the wars they push on us, and He has apparently given up trying to tell them to sell all their worldly goods, give the money to the poor, take up His cross and follow Him.

*rolling eyes*


I've never seen change without a fire

Replace "God" with "Allah" and what;s the difference?

I’m a spiritual person so his belief in GOD is his own, but it’s just offensive when he uses a GOD word to talk about possibly running for President on a second clip. He repeats a word “ugly” again—to describe politics now, but it’s “ugly” to watch him speak like that. He knows its’ not an option for a man who already is being asked to quit a RNC job he just got.

from the fools on both sides of the proverbial aisle. I'm starting to not care anymore about what any politician or any person connected with a politician or any newsperson talking about politicians has to say.

It's all a big joke! And, guess what? The joke's on US!!!!

None of these people has: any idea about how to govern, how to lead, how to believe in actual values, or has any humanity (as in real concern for their fellow humans).

Is it possible that we have spawned and entire class of sociopaths who think that amassing wealth (as in paper money and big houses) for themselves is the only point of existence?? Do they have no self-awareness or conscience at all??? They act like this is just a big game and they have to steal the bacon so they can strut around the playground???

Why are we just sitting around listening to them rant while our families are falling apart, and people are losing their jobs and their homes, and their Lives - not just here but all over the globe - while these fools argue over who should get millions of dollars in "bonus" money? And, who can get the most attention in the media? And who will run for president in 4 friggn' years???

Oy..

Sounds like Dole/Kemp 1996.

Steele finally came out of the basement for an interview? I can only conclude that Jailer Rush went out to get his fat ass something to eat, and forgot to lock the door. I wonder how long it was before they noticed he was missing and released the bloodhounds?

Poor Michael Steele. Now that his cunning plan to look like a pawn on a chessboard has revealed where everybody stands, and it's painfully obvious that he really IS a pawn, I wonder what his next move will be.

nyguy's picture

What a great strategy. His next step is to post a video of Limbaugh giving him a spanking, that should make him win the next presidential election. Palin better come up with something even stronger or she will have no chance.

Seriously..

Repiglickins.. you people look dumber then ever.

The curtain is pulled...

On the GOP's chessboard Rush is the King. Steele is just a pawn.

Trittydi's picture

He's an "Isolated Pawn."

Good Chess strategy calls for conquering the center of the board. Who here thinks the re-Thugs are capable of THAT?

--Steele is his servile rectum cleaner...

A volcano just erupted 5 times in Sarah Palin's state, one time for each child she has, near the town of Willow the namesake of one of Palin's kids. This happens coincidentally not long after Bobby the page Jindal singled out volcano monitoring as wasteful spending. During the presidential campaign a Christofascists loon prays for rain on the DNC and then a hurricane comes and disrupts the RNC

Either GOD has a wicked sense of humor or he is NOT a Republican.

It does make one wonder.

You know what Pat Robertson would be saying if this were happening to Democrats or in San Francisco!

Republican"

Perhaps the key to this interesting phenomenon is both! ;)


I've never seen change without a fire

I totally planned to get kicked to the curb soon by my fellow Republicans like an old wet food stamp.

wow, what's going on with the GOP?
Jindal, Steele, Cohen, Boener,Joe the Plumber, etc
Did all the intelligent people flee the party?

I would classify Palin as intelligent, but it's a devious, sociopathic con-woman type of intelligence.
I think I read somewhere that Jindal was a Rhodes scholar, but he sure has no common sense.

Ferrofluid's picture

The A team are too busy working to avoid indictments, the B team is biding its time for 2012 or 2016, that only leaves the C team of buffoons and morons to play the field.

Perhaps the last couple of intelligent things to hear from past GOP presidents would be how Eisenhower warned against the industrialized military complex and Ford ending the war in Vietnam.

They thought WOMEN would support Bush when Rice was brought into his cabinet.

What the hell were they thinking when they made THIS CLOWN the head of their party?

That Special Ed. teachers around the nation would feel sorry for them?
Maybe that bald black men would switch party afilliation.
Or maybe that Americans with metallic-sounding names would move to red states!

THEY ARE BRAINLESS BAFFOONS!
Did Karl Rove have something to do with this... doesn't this sound like his kind of political reasoning?

Steele is so pathetic!

I don't think there will be a chance for him or anyone running for POTUS on the GOP ticket will ever get elected in this lifetime or for a really, really long time.

What are the chances America overall would trust another Republican to be president ever again after all that's occurred under Bush and Cheney?

...preacher or basketball coach of some small midwestern school. "God has a way of revealing himself and if God wants me to run for president he'll tell me..." You know what, Son of Sam listened to voices. That's a good quality to have in a serial killer. Not so much, a president.

Many in the GOP just act upon their gut. The rest of us reasonable folks try to use our brain.

I'll bet my husband could wipe the chessboard with this guy. Not that actually playing chess had anything to do with Steele's analogy.

I hope this guy runs. Maybe him and palin on the same ticket? Could we actually get that lucky?

Okay, I may be the only one here to express this sentiment, but...

I actually kind of like Michael Steele.

He has a soul, he is relatively thoughtful, and does not seem a robot like almost every other Republican.

His comment about his secret plan to suss out the dissenters is laughable, and, in a talk show pundit kind of way, entertaining.

Now, he is a disaster as the RNC Chairman, so I support him in this capacity as well.

General Jack D. Ripper's picture

Come on, Michael Steele. Give me a frgn' break!

If what he says is true, about the Limpballs things being "all strategic," being part of a plan, then how in the hell does anyone know when he's serious and telling the truth???

This has got to be one of the damnedest things I've ever seen. It ranks right up there with Palin saying she has foreign policy experience because she can see Alaska.

What a fool.

Mike,
