Here’s Michael Steele on the Today show this morning, talking about his child fight with Rush Limbaugh about whether or not the GOP’s stated interest is for Obama’s policies, and therefore the entire nation/global economy, to fail immediately. Tough question! But, as Michael Steele says, “That’s the nature of this job, baby.” Hooray! Huh? WHAT?
Also in Steele/Limbaugh news, America’s favorite online toilet paper, The Politico, wrote a piece today — “J-Mart” on the byline, natch — about how making Limbaugh the de facto leader of the Republican party is a SECRET PLOT by the White House — the Obama White House — to make Republicans look… foolish!
The main Obama White House operatives in this case are Paul Begala and James Carville.
It’s a Scoop, America! WIN THE MORNING & THE AFTERNOON & THE EVENIN’TIME.
Steele on Rush Flap: “That’s the Nature of This Job, Baby!” [TPM]

Col Mustard: Wadsworth, are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?
Wadsworth: You don’t need any help from me, sir.
Col Mustard: That’s right!
Also.
“Baby! Baby!… Why does he say this baby? The Führer has never said baby. I did not write, baby. What is it with this, baby?”
“That’s the nature of this job, baby. Everyone puts you in one position or the other, and you just have to work through it…” What’s Steele’s job again?
This is the moral equivalent of Michael Jackson’s come-back efforts. Why are we even aware of this? It’s like Nero and Agrippina having a wrestling match while more important things are going on.
Radio fascism was just a red… herring.
[re=257898]V572625694[/re]: ummm, being a bottom?
Steele, Limbaugh and the entire GOP are obviously in the tank.
And what’s with this “baby”, crap? His first name ain’t baby. It’s Matt! Mr. Lauer, if you’re nasty!
These sissy-fights bore me. Shouldn’t there be some ass-fucking? Tranny whores and meth? This party has failed America.
Has anyone else noticed that Steele’s eyeglasses are always crooked? I think that means he’s schizophrenic.
“My opinion doesn’t really count in this…” or at all, Mr. Steele.
[re=257904]shellyboo98[/re]: Seriously, he’s stealing our Hollywood schtick. That’s sooo not urban-suburban hip-hop of him. That ain’t keepin’ it realsy real.
Come to think of it, if “baby” belongs to anyone, it belongs to Ari “the Destroyer” Emmanuel, brother of Rahm, Atlas of Entourage, scourge of CAA.
OMG I love you people so much for realz.
@Hooray For Anything: AWESOME reference to “The Producers” – so fitting here too!
GOP Noise Machine: Rahm Emanuel, are you responsible for inciting this fucktard on fucktard violence?
Rahm: Dickhead says what?
GOP Noise Machine: What?
Rahm: …
GOP Noise Machine: Aww crap.
damn, those handlebars on the sides of his head have had the elasticity tugged out of them, eh?
It’s enough to make me long for the chemically imbalanced days of “Don’t be glib, Matt.”
[re=257908]drrty martini[/re]: I’m with you. Wake me when it becomes like that site where the girls wrestle in bikinis, and the winner gets to fuck the loser with a strap-on. Or so I’ve heard. My friend told me about it.
Really disgusting, especially for black folks, even though Steele is a repub.. To have to witness a black man virtually running over and kissing Rush’s fat, pasty white rump is sickening.
You can almost hear it like an old racist movie: “I’se sorry massah Rush! I’se didn’t know what I was sayin’! Please don’t beat me massah!”
Look at him–a prisoner of the glutton
Condemened by every syllable he’s mutt’rin’…
What is it with Republicans and the thrill they seem to get from the word “baby?” It’s like they’ve just discovered 1920s slang.
He might as well go shine Rush Limbaugh shoes
Nobody puts baby (Lauer) in the corner!
[re=257897]Hooray For Anything[/re]: how obscure is this pop culture reference? Dennis Miller-obscure; or, Steve Allen-obscure?
Speaking of which Steele is playing Sammy Davis, Jr. to Rush’s Allen King.
[re=257928]Tra[/re]: I think Steele went to the “Sammy Davis Jr. School of How to Sound Hip Without Scaring Whitey.”
Uh, ahem… Limbaugh flap? …you people owe me a keyboard.
As always, this Politico piece felt like it was written on the toilet, 10 minutes before the deadline. They get a 250,000 dollar salary for these turds? Plus, anyone read the claim by Politico that other reporters are sucking up to Obama aides in hopes of getting extra access? Yes, Politico of the “Which flowers should we bring to Cindy McCain for the BBQ extravaganza?”, accusing other reporters of sucking up.
“It’s only been thirty days…”
Nice, Mr. Steele. So you’re saying that President Obama has done more, with practically your entire party working against him, than you’ve been able to do in 30 days within that same party? Why don’t you step aside and give Mike Brown a shot at it, okay?
“He be da bottom! He be da bottom!”
[re=257920]Mr Blifil[/re]: Maybe one of them should lead the GOP…They’d get my vote!
[re=257897]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Perhaps he meant baby daddy.
Steele and Limbaugh are both perfect for the party: spineless and mercurial. Can’t WAIT to see them continue to fail on all news sources…
[re=257928]Tra[/re]: Gadzooks, Daddy-o! That Rush Limbaugh is the bees knees!
this is “the nature of my balls” in your mouth. Tea Party Baby!!
You dupes.
This is all part of Steele’s “off the hook PR campaign”. Uh, isn’t it?
[re=257928]Tra[/re]: So, what, you’re doing George’s “baby” now?
The Steele/Limpball show is getting dull now that the MSM is onto it. How can we complain of persecution if these people are publicly ridiculed everywhere? Obama’s success is ruining everything.
Isn’t there some 70s era feminist who Steele can call “Baby” so we can get some kind of hissy-fit, bitch-slappin’ action started? This is the only way to see if he’s good enough to be the “defacto” head of the GOP, as he claims
A smarmy grinning Carville was just on Sit Room with that cross eyed black guy I hate so much who, instead of his oily Repugtard smirk, looked like he’d eaten a raspberry fresh from the vine and just realized there was a slug on it.
Oh, how I hate Repugs. Given the fact a Harvard ecnomist says we’re just on the edge of the Greater (that the 30s) Depression, Thomas Ricks says the only good outcome for Iraaq is to stay forever, give it back to a kindler, gentler Saddam and let the Iranians make the deciesions and, despite giving up sweets for Lent, I still have Bell’s Palsy, this is a happy news day.
Black man don’t want no drama! Better call Madea ASAP.
Steele’s excuse is that he has only been in the job for thirty days and things will get better. Meanwhile, Steele lambastes Obama for not curing all of America’s ills in that same short time period.
Rahm has them running in circles. Who is the leader? What is the message? What is the plan?
[re=257943]populucious[/re]: Twenty-Three Skidoo!
Michael Steele: Head of the GOP or Giving Head to the Head of the GOP?
I can’t watch this video yet because my job blocks everything, but it should be noted that I was a few rows away from Steele going north from Washington on the 11am Acela. He was still on the train with two others as of The Joseph R. Biden Jr. Memorial Amtrak station in the Paris of Delaware, Wilmington, so probably headed for New York.
Sadly I have no “the horror I’ve seen” story to go with this sighting for that beloved Wonkette institution which I haven’t seen again since its inception, more or less. Overall a pretty uneventful sighting, except the fact that while he was on Acela, he was not in first class. RNC trying to cut back (though only a little) on shuttling their king around? This is all Rush’s fault.
After his thirty days on the job I think Steele is qualified to explain the term “cramdown”.
[re=257931]liquiddaddy[/re]: It’s from Mel Brooks’ “the Producers” (the original). And you beat me to the Sammy Davis joke by a few seconds. D’oh!
I have never even heard Mikey Steelio talk before, and I’m trying to continue that trend. Not sure I would be able to handle the anger he’d rouse in my loins.
So Reagan is their God, Rush is the Son of that God, who is the Holy Ghost?
Wait, just a minute, let me make sure I understand. The White House has a secret plot to make the Republican Party look stupid?
Did it involve fattening up and dumbing down Americans, then encouraging them to breathe through their mouths, drive cars that guzzle gas and listen to AM radio?
The easiest way to make a Republican look stupid is to hold a microphone up to their mouths and encourage them to emit sounds. More developed animals call this act “speaking.”
can we just skip all the BS and go ahead and get to the bottom of it: which Spice Girl does Steele, ahem, prefer?
The only men that I’ve ever seen who can
pull off calling another man “baby” are
aging bebop jazzmen… for any other guy
to even try it is just so contrived, and
for this he-bitch to even THINK that he
can pull it off is LAUGHABLE.
Why in the hell didn’t the GOPers elect
Chip “The Chosen” Saltsman to this position,
instead of this latter day Stepin Fetchit?
Chip would at least be entertaining with
his “Barack The Magic Negro” complimentary
CDs — the bagel breathing bastard.
Did he use the term “baby” as much before the whole “hip-hop” thing? This all could just be Black code for something….
As ‘Monica’ Steele (what Big Daddy Rush calls him) has proven once again – A Bitch is a Bitch…
“Hey, where the white women at.”
Rush: Boxers or XXXL adult diapers?

[re=257920]Mr Blifil[/re]: Your friend in the mirror, or the guy standing behind him?…
[re=257898]V572625694[/re]: Propaganda Whore.
‘i’m sorry’ is all that you can say
years gone by and still
words don’t come easily
like sorry
like sorry
but you can say ‘baby’
‘baby can i hold you tonight?
baby if i told you the right words
at the right time
would you maybe vote for me in 2012 and prevent that fat asshole from sitting on me’
“can’t” not “can”. sheesh. at least it took my mind off rush’s pissflaps.
Yeah it’s the friggin’ Democrats version of the swift boats for truth campaign. Why would the Dems help when the GOP is doing a perfectly good job of deconstructing themselves!

[re=257897]Hooray For Anything[/re]: AhahAHA, win. I was thinking of that, too.
[re=258032]chascates[/re]: Um…these are the Republicans, so I guess that would make Michael Steele the Holy Spook?
Schlemiel and Limpdick.
There’s only one suitable movie reference for this dumbassed duo of deluded dunderheads- From Monty Python and The Holy Grail:
“I fart in your general direction.”
