    I’d say the jig is up.

    Yo.

  2. steverino247 says at 9:37 am, October 14th, 2009

    General Purpose faces? WTF?

  3. catsquatch says at 9:37 am, October 14th, 2009
  4. Somebody tell Steele that ‘beta’ isn’t urban for ‘better’. Doesn’t work that way. Coincidentally, the next release after ‘beta’ *is* actually ‘mo beta’.

  5. mookworthjwilson says at 9:38 am, October 14th, 2009

    steverino247: I seriously doubt she is a repupblican. Her eyes aren’t cold or dead enough.

  6. catsquatch says at 9:39 am, October 14th, 2009

    I’d have recommended “In the Hizzy”.

  7. tootsieroll says at 9:42 am, October 14th, 2009

    catsquatch: nice!

    Now Blingee it?

  8. mookworthjwilson says at 9:42 am, October 14th, 2009
  9. bureaucrap says at 9:42 am, October 14th, 2009

    Tomorrow, Steele’s blog will be called, “The View from Uncle Tom’s Cabin”

  10. GOP feces.

  11. norbizness says at 9:43 am, October 14th, 2009

    “Flip the Script: A Michael Steele Joint (Not that we’re for the legalization of narcotics)”

  12. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 9:43 am, October 14th, 2009

    Those lists of accomplishments are hilarious, given that the vast majority of them basically reiterate the same message: No, seriously, Republicans don’t really really really hate women, blacks, and other minorities. Really. For real.

  13. drpangloss says at 9:43 am, October 14th, 2009

    How long before 4chan was winged penis(es?) flying across the GOP page and into the faces?

  14. PlanetWingnuta says at 9:43 am, October 14th, 2009

    I doubt she’s a republican too…i haven’t seen her face during the Teabaggers events nor on the teevee during the national conventions…maybe she’s Michael’s Niece…”hey honey do your uncle a favor and I’ll get you that car you want”

  15. queeraselvis v 2.0: All it really demonstrates is “Hey, the Republicans used to be the Democrats, and vice versa!”

  16. Egregious says at 9:49 am, October 14th, 2009

    Don’t blame the playa, blame the game!

  17. stratonike says at 9:49 am, October 14th, 2009

    I don’t think Michael Steele is getting memos from the GOP anymore.

  18. loquaciousmusic says at 9:50 am, October 14th, 2009

    That’s a lot better than Trent Lott’s suggestion, “Notes from the Field (Negro).”

  19. 4tehlulz says at 9:50 am, October 14th, 2009

    Ten bucks this is a random image from Photobucket.

  20. Hopey dont play that game says at 9:52 am, October 14th, 2009

    Today we are all blacker than Michael Steele.

  21. ManchuCandidate says at 9:53 am, October 14th, 2009

    This mess won’t end will it?

  22. Behind the scenes at the GOP, the white Southerners are plotting like heck as to how to dump Steele without seeming like even bigger racists than they already appear. Or conversely, they could be letting him distract us with superficial things while they get on with the hard core business of trying to ruin the country to the benefit of the political donors and the super rich.

  23. HandsomePete says at 9:57 am, October 14th, 2009

    Oh, we no longer have a miniature Michael Steele greeting/dancing for us on the home page anymore. Damn!

  24. ForTheTurnstiles says at 9:58 am, October 14th, 2009

    Wait, is this even a website?

  25. ForTheTurnstiles says at 9:58 am, October 14th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Let it never, ever end.

  26. freakishlystrong says at 10:00 am, October 14th, 2009

    catsquatch: Fo’Shizzle Welcome to our GOP Dizzle…

  27. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:01 am, October 14th, 2009

    4tehlulz: Yeah or Getty Images–the same place where they get those neat photos for wallets & picture frames. Uh oh, I just gave Michael Steele an idea.

  28. Buzz Feedback says at 10:02 am, October 14th, 2009

    Bestest website ever.

  29. I heard they booked Vanilla Ice for their upcoming youth rally…until they found out he was both white and homeless.

  30. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:04 am, October 14th, 2009

    Zadig: My personal favorite: Republicans WIPED OUT THE KLAN but the Democrats BROUGHT IT BACK. Thus, Democrats hate teh blacks 4Evar.

  31. PlanetWingnuta says at 10:05 am, October 14th, 2009

    by the way anyone gone to the “why are you a republican” part of the site…i’m way tempted to go and write “Why am I Republican: In what other party can I: 1)Cheat on my wife with people of different genders. 2) Take bribes from insurance companies…I mean campagin contributions. 3)Say No the interests of my constituents so they’ll die early but as long as I can have their vote today. 4)Say abstentince is the way to go, but have my daughter get preggnant out of wedlock and parade her on the national stage. 5)Blast the Democrats for adultery and other moral failings and when I get caught say it’s time for forgiveness and its time move on. 6) But say that Homosexuals are the real threat to traditional marriage, meanwhile I’m ‘Hiking the Appalachian Trail’ with my very best friend and leaving my 4 sons without daddy on Father’s Day. 7)And hey there’s that great C house…and we know what the C means! Rhymes with Bunt, Wink wink nudge nudge.”

  32. digibal235 says at 10:05 am, October 14th, 2009

    1. The GOP faces should be more representative, i.e., Klan members, Timothy McVeigh, etc.

    2. This wouldn’t work with the Democrats, you can’t substitute a black person for the “N” in DNC.

  33. Hey, what the fuck? They took away all the hip hop, and went and smoothed it all out on the R&B tip!

    This is some bullshit!

    What a sellout you are, Michael Steele. You disgust me.

  34. couchbound says at 10:10 am, October 14th, 2009

    He is running out of Wire allusions

    Well, there’s always “the cheese stands alone”

  35. teebob2000 says at 10:10 am, October 14th, 2009

    ForTheTurnstiles: It’s not even a website.

    Upon refreshing the homepage 10 times, only ONEST did it come up with a white male starring as the “O”. Is this what the Republican party is coming to? The party of teh coloreds and womans??? Lemme out!!!

  36. Johnny Zhivago says at 10:10 am, October 14th, 2009

    “Differn’t Strokes” By Michael Steele

  37. teebob2000 says at 10:12 am, October 14th, 2009

    …and shouldn’t his “whaaaazup??” first blog post be mroe properly called, “Lemme aks y’all sum’in” ?

  38. One Yield Regular says at 10:13 am, October 14th, 2009

    So they’re changing from “Pong” to “Hungry Hungry Hippos”?

  39. AggieDemocrat says at 10:13 am, October 14th, 2009

    bureaucrap: Bravo.

  40. yo steele, wuz up wit dat?

  41. Aflac Shrugged says at 10:16 am, October 14th, 2009

    Hold on, GOP.com. This woman is not (a) a general; (b) a professional athlete; (c) Michael Steele. I feel certain a by-law’s being violated here.

  42. PlanetWingnuta: Too subtle.

  43. TubeCity says at 10:21 am, October 14th, 2009

    That young woman is smiling because she is so happy when rich people can still benefit from the Bush tax cuts. The happiness, it trickles!

  44. P Drizzle says at 10:22 am, October 14th, 2009

    couchbound: Oh but there are so many:

    Yo Uncle Harry, tickle my (truck)nutz!

    and of course there’s Sen. Clay Davis (aka fake-Charlie Rangel):

    Nazi Pelosi wants to hype the public option? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

  45. V572625694 says at 10:22 am, October 14th, 2009

    catsquatch: Are you one of Dr Jampf’s babies? I’m sorry, Tyrone.

  46. hobospacejunkie says at 10:27 am, October 14th, 2009

    stew: And that “youth rally” sounded vaguely East German-ish. And because Vanilla Ice wouldn’t change his nom de jiggy to Vanilla Supremacy Ice.

  47. DNC should retaliate with an image of an unshaven white man in an confederate-flag trucker hat and skoal-bulged cheek leaning out of a pick-up truck window, to spit. This would roughly cancel out Steele’s latest web-inanity.

  48. digibal235 says at 10:32 am, October 14th, 2009

    Fingers crossed! Apparently you can upload your own picture for the GOP faces beta… or (hopefully) not your own picture, and 128 generous characters on why you’re a Republican. I already used Tim McVeigh, DIBS.

  49. catsquatch says at 10:37 am, October 14th, 2009

    V572625694: One of Jampf’s disciples. I spent more years than I would care to recall examining CS-US relationships.

  50. chascates says at 10:37 am, October 14th, 2009

    What it IS!

    What it AIN’T.

  51. poopsmith says at 10:38 am, October 14th, 2009

    Has anyone noticed the “Accomplishments” picture of Howard University? Its a modern day picture (with a late model car in the foreground) that they turned black and white to fit in with the others.

    I’m not sure they pay their interns enough for this.

  52. comicbookguy says at 10:41 am, October 14th, 2009

    So the GOP plan is…

    1) Alienate all but the old southern white folks
    2) Reinvent themselves as a young hip-hop urban party
    3) Profit!

  53. hobospacejunkie says at 10:44 am, October 14th, 2009

    Oh, you can be sure they’ll be collecting underpants in there somewhere. Also.

  54. PlanetWingnuta says at 10:44 am, October 14th, 2009

    poopsmith: pay their interns not with money but with old wrinkled cocks !

  55. El Pinche says at 10:45 am, October 14th, 2009
  56. mackensie says at 10:55 am, October 14th, 2009

    Hmm… I do notice something different:

  57. El Pinche says at 10:59 am, October 14th, 2009

    My old wrinkled cock isn’t even trying anymore:

    http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/2/22/2334311/rnc_campbell.jpg

    I’m done.

  58. queeraselvis v 2.0: What are they citing for that? Grant? Grant stayed sober just long enough to sign that law, not to actually enforce it.

    Terry: I don’t think they’re worried about looking racist for firing Steele. I mean, thirty seconds of video should be enough to justify that to anyone, Steele’s dog included. What they’re really worried about is that if they fire him, for being dumb, everyone might notice how cynically racist it was to hire Steele in the first place.

    All the bitching that racist conservatives do all the time about affirmative action, and the VERY REAL THREAT that an underqualified black man might be hired somewhere, ANYWHERE, based on the color of his skin? They are looking back at the chairman elections and realizing that is precisely what they did. Don’t want to alienate the base!

  59. proudgrampa says at 11:13 am, October 14th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: The G :-) P — the gift that keeps on giving…

  60. teebob2000 says at 11:16 am, October 14th, 2009

    digibal235: OK, I’ll take Eric Rudolph. That should go over great, since we all know how the Republicans really HATE HATE HATE the US socialistic “one-happy-world” Olympics idea.

  61. proudgrampa says at 11:20 am, October 14th, 2009

    proudgrampa: Nuts. The face was supposed to be between the G and the P.

  62. poopsmith:

    Modern day Howard University is a well know bastion of conservatism.

  63. catsquatch says at 11:22 am, October 14th, 2009

    El Pinche:

    Take all the time you need. We have your back.

  64. PlanetWingnuta: She was at the DC Teabagger event, serving lemonade and minding the chilluns.

    I have seen her face on a box of pancake mix, also.

  65. user-of-owls says at 11:29 am, October 14th, 2009

    So, What Up is down?

  66. twoeightnine says at 11:41 am, October 14th, 2009

    You down with GOP? Yeah you know me.

  67. EggplantParm says at 11:46 am, October 14th, 2009

    From the “Who we are” page: “For a long time Republicans have been known as the “G.O.P.” with party faithful believing it meant the “Grand Old Party.” But apparently the original meaning (in 1875) was “gallant old party.” When automobiles were invented it also came to mean, “get out and push.” That’s still a pretty good slogan for Republicans who depend every campaign year on the hard work of hundreds of thousands of everyday volunteers to get out and vote and push people to support the causes of the Republican Party.”

  68. user-of-owls says at 11:50 am, October 14th, 2009

    Terry: No lie. Just last year, the winning number in Howard’s annual step-dance competition was “Stompin’ to the Right: A Tribute to Barry Goldwater.”

  69. Next he’s going to steal a line from Curb Your Enthusiasm: “Who’s your caucasian?”

  70. WestEdEd says at 11:56 am, October 14th, 2009

    It’s not a party until Skoal Rebel is the O

  71. Bucky Katt says at 11:57 am, October 14th, 2009

    What’s ironic about the list of “Republican accomplishments,” which is mainly from the 1800s, is that it tries to make it look that, deep down in their heart of hearts, Republicans are really Democrats. I mean, can you imagine the current Republican Party creating Yellowstone National Park? Or for that matter, enacting the 15th Amendment?

  72. user-of-owls says at 12:07 pm, October 14th, 2009

    WestEdEd: Report to Dean Pinche’s office immediately!

  73. PlanetWingnuta says at 12:10 pm, October 14th, 2009

    i wanna know why no one has put a KKK member with a hood in that 0 place…im serious…get on that shitz :)

  74. HopeyDope says at 12:14 pm, October 14th, 2009

    Did anyone notice how they have the “minority” folks posted more than once on the “Why I’m a Republican” page? Sheila’s little thumbnail pic showed up in three different places.

  75. Do they honestly think they can fool people into thinking that what the Republican Party is and does hasn’t changed radically in the last century (give or take a decade)?

    Come on, Republicans, don’t even PRETEND that you want to claim Lincoln as your own. I mean, even if we ignore the whole “not being a dick to black people” thing, Lincoln firmly established the dominion of the federal government over the state, which I am pretty sure that you guys are still mad about. And Roosevelt? He interfered in the free, unfettered action of the SACRED MARKET, you guys. Dammit, stop acting like these are men you actually look up to.

    In the impossible event that Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln rose from the dead, and the even more unlikely that the shambling undead presidents actually WANTED to join the Republican Party, they would be promptly drummed out as hippy-dippy pansy socialist fascist liberals. They would lose the Republican Primary to literally anyone, including post-Watergate Richard Nixon and Mitt Romney.

  76. El Pinche: Sweet Jesus! What have you done to our skoalrebel?

  77. Urbanachiever says at 3:32 pm, October 14th, 2009

    Bucky Katt: Maybe that’s why they stole the ad slogan from 1800 brand tequila?

  78. thefrontpage says at 4:13 pm, October 14th, 2009

    Yo, what up, Steele, you got game–change the game, bro.

  79. This game have any rules?

  80. AnSnarkist says at 6:28 pm, October 14th, 2009
