Michael Steele and his book teevee tour, boy howdy! Here’s another quote to archive: “But that’s what’s gotten us into trouble, when we walked away from principle. Our platform is one of the best political documents that’s been written in the last 25 years. Honest Injun on that.” LEAVE BOBBY JINDAL ALONE! (Second sentence is actually funnier.) [Media Matters]

I don’t get it- why is this offensive? I mean, we only genocided them.
[re=489061]mumblyjoe[/re]: Honestly.
Oh Gawd another MS?
OK I would say their new platform is the best political document since Nikita Khrushchev’s 7 year plan in 1956. Didn’t Nikita once work for a similar “Man of Steele”?
Honest Injun, Brother still here
now let me make this perfectly clear
I’m the hip-hop head of the RNC
people pay big money just to listen to me
I say moo, baby, moo
I’m a cow on the tracks
and I’m proof that Republicans
don’t hate blacks
feel free to add
HANNITY: ….the Republican Party to be successful, they’ve gotta quote be more modern.
STEELE: No, no! But that’s what’s gotten us into trouble…
Their whole governing philosophy makes sense now.
What does that even mean? Is it some kind of ’70s jive?
You racists would not be making fun of Michael if he weren’t a proud black man.
He is a man, isn’t he? With these GOP Nancy Boys, it can be hard to tell.
And I won’t hear any more negative comments about Michael moving his “buckin’ and winging” routine into the Men’s Room.
Hit IT!
I’d say Steele was scraping the bottom of the folksy vernacular barrel, except that I’m sure he’ll find something stupider — and maybe even more offensive — to say very, very soon.
What does “honest injun” even mean?
Only a lyin’ nigga would say ‘honest injun’. Word.
Next up – Michael accuses Piyush of being an “Indian Giver” since he actually took back the Government stimulus money he said he wouldn’t.
[re=489095]Berkeley Bear[/re]: Wouldn’t that be a reverse indian taker?
I liked The Black Republican better when he was teamed up with The Chicken Head-Biting Geek and The Bearded Lady in the sideshow.
Microphone check…1,2,3
I’m the titular leader of the R.N.C.
cold mackin’ my book on the publicity tour
tricked out like a $20 truckstop hoor
Check me on Hannity
Rockin’ the Insanity
Stayin’ away from profanity
Endangering the manatee
I’m battlin’ the lefties
like Mario fights Wario
they know my bulge is hefty
The air was thick with Oreos
I’m like the new cigar shop Injun
Straight’ out of Thomas Pynchon
What Up was my invention
I spit rhymes in full declension
Bling, badda bing
truth don’t mean a thing
the crazy I can bring
till your eyes begin to sting
let’s get to the point
my speaker fees the max
got more benjies in my joint
than Fox Network’s got facts
In da house
in da hizzie
bald patch a little frizzie
when I throw down my rap
the fucking hippies have a tizzie
Now I’m chillin’ in the country club
where a brother couldn’t get to
it’s’ my job to win seats
since the party’s in the ghetto
Got riches
bitches
don’t get up in my bizness
cold holla when you need me
like Jesus is my witness
elections in the bag
mad addin’ seats in bunches
maybe not in oh-ten
at least that’s what my hunch is
(ad nauseum)
P.S. I detect the presence of several non-Steele posts on the main page. Please rectify.
Yet another Repubatard book with the same tired crap. Who the hell is buying this Kool-aid crap? Ship jobs overseas, start pointless wars, let Wall Street and banks run wild, no ‘bortions, cut taxes for top 5%, drive economy into hole, let people go homeless and jobless. I’m rapidly losing my snark.
Has he referred to himself as “Stainless Steele” yet? And I thought the PC term is now “Trustworthy Buffalo Jockey”.
[re=489090]DemmeFatale[/re]: We so twisted reality in our history that every Native was assumed naturally untrustworthy (even though we were the ones breaking treaties left and right) so lots of novels/depictions suggested you’d have to get one to swear to their honesty on nay little thing. Children of a more openly racist time – say, Mark Twain’s era through Michael Steele’s youth – took to swearing “Honest injun” like “cross my heart” or “pinkie swear.”
[re=489070]gurukalehuru[/re]: I’ll bring the fried chicken.
[re=489090]DemmeFatale[/re]: What does “honest injun” even mean?
It’s what the white man replied when asked by an Indian, “You will abide by the terms of this treaty, right?”
Which tells you all you need to know about the veracity of Steele and the party he fronts for.
Ah. The best is to come when the Native Americans insist he apologize, and the Limbaughs scream: don’t you dare! What’s a Brother to do? Especially with his head spinning like Linda Blair.
Michael is trying to save the Republican party. It has come to his attention that the tea baggers have armed themselves with underwear bombs and intend to destroy GOP cohesion by splattering the remains of the genitalia all over the political process and he means to preempt them by resurrecting the zombie corpse of Ronald Reagan to protect the party. Brilliant strategic move by the man of Steele.
Now taking bets on the number of hours until Steele makes reference to “jewing” someone down at the local Cracker Barrel.
[re=489090]DemmeFatale[/re]:
It means “Dishonest!” or as the Wikitionary puts it “(humorous) One who is honest.” Irony: multiple messages for multiple audiences. One audience hears something odd or innocuous or en suite, the other hears…their Har Har, in this case. (I don’t think Steele is qualified for irony. Perhaps irony is like a native authentication mechanism in human speech [demonstrating those who should command in a crisis, regardless of those having power de jure during peace?]?)
Relax, whities. Like it’s OK for brotha Steele to call a fellow black dude “nigga,” it’s cool for Steele for say “honest injun” ’cause I heard he’s 1/2 Seminole.
What’s that? “Semen-hole?” As in male Republican?
Oh. Never mind.
“Honest Injun” is like “No tickee No Shirtee”. Indians didn’t speak the language very well, having one of their own they were fluent in, but they had a strong sense of personal honor, ” My words are stone” would have been better translation from Cherokee, for example, but their was a shortage of English dictionaries in the Cherokee Nation.
Some settlers were Republicans (small minded bigots) and made fun of them for calling themselves “honest Injuns”.
What was notable here was not that the black man was making fun of the red man, he is after all a Republican, it’s that he claims “Hell to the NO!” is the finest political document created since Thomas Jefferson penned the first rough draft of the Declaration of Independence on Sally Hemmings jiggling rump as he was “slave driving” his way into history.
Interesting fact: The original document contained a reference to “brown sugar” and in a deleted portion explaining why African men were not considered among those men who were “created equal” it also contains the first documented use of the phrase “baby got back”.
It’s true, look it up!
Can we just declare Michael Steele a national treasure? Wonkette Nation, at the very least.
The brother is an embarrassment to his species.
Oh, Michael Steele! You’re so awful, it’s adorable!
[re=489113]Mr Blifil[/re]: Awesome.
HONEST INJUN – “from Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, has been traced back to 1851, but it is probably much older than that. Originally it was probably an expression of sarcastic derision – ‘as honest as an Indian.’ But later it came to mean about the same thing as the British ‘honor bright’ or the American ‘scout’s honor’ – a pledge of truth and honesty.” From “Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins” by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).
You know what other word Huck Finn used a lot?
i’d like to comment but up here in northern mn we’re too busy nigger rigging our vehicles to start in – 11 temps to give a shit.
Steele later added that Congress needs to spend money like “a bunch of Jews” instead of spending money like “a bunch of drunken Irishmen” and that the Republicans lost the previous two elections because they were “lazier than a bunch of Mexican migrant workers.”
This reminds me of the Lying Blackfoot and Truthful Whitefoot conundrum aka The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever, and I hate that thing.

[re=489194]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Bravo
What do you call a black person who pretends to be a white person who pretends to be a black person? MICHAEL ‘folk-hero’ STEELE.
[re=489070]gurukalehuru[/re]: [re=489113]Mr Blifil[/re]: Both could use more bitches’n'hoes, but they’re also perfect as they stand. Oh, except for “ad nauseam”–I doubt MS knows Greek.
When someone knows they’re selling you a piece of shit … THAT’S when they resort to phrases like “honest injun.”
Yes, the Republican Part Platform (“*slurp slurp* REAGAN! *fap fap fap*) is a literary treasure of Our Times. Makes the Declaration seem piddling.
[re=489113]Mr Blifil[/re]: Destined for Wonkette Greatest Hits Package That Never Was 2010. Nize.
Well, I’m sure that once Michael Steele excepts Christianity instead of whatever Injun Earth Mother Goddess Dark People relgion he is a member of, he will find redemption and fogiveness.
The big question is, did he call “No Backsies!”?
And does this mean that everything else he said was in fact a lie deep from his Redskin heart?
Looks to me like there’s an ethnic in the woodpile…
Boyhowdy, is that one dumb darkie!
