Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele threatens comeback – I figured RNC Chair Michael Steele would appreciate the reference to LL Cool J’s 1991 hip-hop hit “Mama Said Knock You Out.”
Hip Hop rallies aside, Steele, before a crowd of supporters at the Republican National Committee’s 2009 State Chairman’s meeting, declared “The honeymoon is over…the era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over.” The party reserved the right to apologize to Rush Limbaugh if ever they have an original thought. Steele ended his speech with a five minute human beat box solo. No, not really, but I’m sure he was tempted.
Steele urged republicans to take the gloves off and start going directly after Obama and his “disastrous” policies. Regardless of your political persuasion, it’s hard to take anything Steele says seriously. The first few months in his role as RNC chair he waffled back and forth so often, it was hard to determine which was his true voice and which was the voice of his puppeteer Rush Limbaugh. There was a large asterisk hovering over Steele’s head as he delivered his speech. A check of the fine print revealed the following:
*All official statements made by Michael Steele must be approved by Rush Limbaugh before being official statements of the Republican National Party. Even if you think you heard him say it, have it on tape and saw the interview on television, if Rush disagrees with it, then Steele didn’t really say it.
