- Michael Steele informed the Republican National Committee last night that he would seek a second term as RNC chair, causing committee members to choke on their mint juleps and then beat their Rentboys with riding crops as they whispered to themselves “that Negro!,” over and over and over again. Moments later, Steele appeared on Greta Van Susteren’s variety show, to explain why the Republican White Establishment hates him so dearly. “I’m much more of a street guy,” Michael said, meaning that he’s black. “The party needs to get outside its comfort zone.” Michael Steele is our favorite.

McDonald's said private information that customers supplied…
fuck, I thought my life on the web was questionable…
If you have a log in for McDonald's, you should probably take a step back and do a self-evaluation. Then place the pistol in your mouth and pull the trigger.
Michael Steele will win. The RNC still needs a very, very urban president of its own.
Nothing original outta those guys. We had Hillz, they had $arah. We had Hopey…
After all the signs and statements from the base GOP base, I think Steele might very well have them by the proverbial balls. But then again, I sometimes think that people would not be so stupid as to totally go against their own principles and self-interests at the same time.
Riding crops and negroes and julips, oh my! Lindsey most definitely approves.
And president-presumptive Haley Bahrbooohr.
Upon hearing the news, Miss Lindsey was forced to retire, experiencing the vapors.
Apparently the /b/ board kids thought Captain Crook was a parody of Julian Assange.
Fuck. I'm a lily white gal and I crap "street" bigger than Micheal Steel. Oh, and you ARE outside your party's comfort zone.
Michael Steele grew up in a decent part of DC, attended a well respected Catholic high school, and did his undergrad at Johns Hopkins.
That's the kind of background that fuels hip hop songs, surely.
It just screams "MC Lyte".
I'm thinking backpacker hip-hop.
If Steele gets passed over in the Chairman's race, he'll be joining the Rhymesayers Crew, performing under the name POLITIX.
I anticipate a recording of the time a nun rapped his knuckles with a ruler.
I'm blacker on the inside that this pussyfart is on the outside. If you have to tell somebody you are "street", then you fucking ain't. I've known suck-ups like him all my life. They do their best to work both sides of the street. There's no "there" there.
Whoa there, Riley, let' not jump to conclusions. It could also mean he's homeless or a mime.
Or that he likes hookers. Wait a minute…
It's not cheating, it's mime.
It just looks like he's doing it.
If Michael Steele is a "street guy", Vladimir Putin is a singer.
Like many of his predecessors, Mikey believes that deficits do not matter.
Now, everybody will know the Arches mix their Special Sauce with their special sauce.
Michael has been working on his tap routine, he's a shoe in…
And the banjo lessons.
/groan
As I think I've suggested before about Mr S…
What we need here is a good 'ole n****r workin' song, you know…
"Oh de Campdown ladies sing dis song…"
Don't know that one, huh?
Now the world might find out what the mystery meat, McRib really Mc is.
The McRib is made from free-range unicorns that have died of old age. That's why there isn't enough supply to offer the sandwich as a permanent menu item. It's also why they are soooo tasty!
Alternate theory: You can put barbeque sauce on a rock and that rock will taste gooooood.
Unless it's gneiss. That shit is nasty.

Y'know, that story always confused the ever-loving fuck out of me. See, what a lot of security experts recommend is that as your answer to those "forgot your password" prompts, to have a question and answer that seem casually related, but are either patently false answers or off-hand non-sequitors that you can personally remember later when given the prompt.
And the thing is, those two things are basically Sarah Palin's brand, making it doubly bizarre that she didn't do this.
Poor Mikie. Caught between the country club GOP establishment and the neo-racist Teabaggers. Good thing Maryland is not so far from DC.
I got my Gawker e-mail; I never knew I had an account. I do know I don't have one at McAnusBurger, though.
Michael Steele represents GOP ideals – he works against his own best interest for perceived personal gain, has a sordid sex life that he finances with other peoples' money, and has an insatiable lust for power even though he doesn't know how to wield it.
Who does that remind you of?
Alaskunt, of course!
She has a sordid sex life? Are there videos?
Now, to clean the vomit off my keyboard…
That’s why she had to quit…
Did it, by chance, involve bestial necrophilia with a caribou killed on her TV show?
On second thought, no, don't tell me.
Frankly, the GOP doesn't need another reason to hate Steele other than his street-ness (translation: race), but this is rather amusing. From his wikipedia bio:
From 2003 to 2007, he was the seventh Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, the first African American elected to statewide office in Maryland. During his time as Lieutenant Governor, he chaired the Minority Business Enterprise taskforce, actively promoting an expansion of affirmative action in the corporate world.
This doc cited as source material: http://www.issues2000.org/Domestic/Michael_Steele…
That's right. The head of the RNC is an active proponent of affirmative action.
I just felt a great shift in the Force..
Forget it, Terry. It's the People's Republic of Maryland.
The People's Republic is actually just Takoma Park. The rest of us are just leaning toward being pinkos.
As the former chair of the Greenbelt Recycling Advisory Committee, I fully understand. But Maryland’s pretty blue, Charles County notwithstanding.John Fahey rulez!
Charles can go blue if the right Jarboe is running things. It's those crazy chicken farmers on the Eastern Shore and the insane people up in western Maryland who vote for Roscoe that screw things up.
Maryland has a strange history regarding race; Spiro Agnew was a Republican advocate of civil rights as Governor, then turned around and became one of the biggest pushers of the Southern Strategy when Nixon tapped him for VP. It's almost as if the guy was completely unprincipled.
Beware of Greeks bearing grifts.
Going back even further, I've read that southern MD in particular was filled with Confederate sympathizers back during the Civil War and that the state came close to joining the Confederacy.
Why do you think they resent him so much? Why do you think white liberals also resent him with equal fervor?
I don't know many guys with "street cred" that most frequently get compared to a muppet.
Full disclosure: I don't know many guys with "street cred."
"Christopher St. cred." Take another look at the picture.
The GOP has sealed up the Lesbian dominatrix vote for sure!
First Gawker and now I just got an email from linkedin.
http://www.centernetworks.com/linkedin-forcing-al…
The intertubes parasites suck.
Their moms need to cut off their Mountain Dew until they stop hacking things.
I got the Gawker email too, & I didn't even know I had an account with them. (Makes me wonder if I drunk commented over there one night.) I know I have a LinkedIn account but haven't heard from them. Yes, the connected tubes can be a pain in the ass.
Our original Wonkette commenter accounts were with Gawker, until The Great Split occurred.
Thanks. Good to know I haven't completely lost what's left of my brain cells.

That's the email. Would burning my computer help?
Thanks. Ugh…not even sure why I keep my LinkedIn account these days.
Same here. i had a friend invite me back when they first started. I never did much with it and I think I last said that I was working on a perpetual motion machine. No requests for interviews yet.
I'm gonna quote the bad guy from Avatar on Mikey Steele: "How does it feel to betray you own race?"
First I felt bad about our own Wonkette not being worthy of the hackers' attention, but then it dawned on me that this may be one of the very few sites that they might consider vaguely funny.
Wow, what I just learned from that Wikipedia article is that there's an ariport that claims to be the only place in England where Elvis presley ever set foot, and honors that fact with a special lounge and a plaque.
OK, after reading that reply, now I really want to know what the Hell was in that deleted post.
"Twitter said only a small share of its 175 million users were affected, though it didn't know how many."
If one actually used the Twitter, this statement would be extremely scary, and not just because of the grammatical error.
OK, ya got me. What's the grammatical error? It's not "its". I suspect it's "affected". But it's gotta be "175 million" when they meant "175", because there can't possibly be more people frittering away their time on twitter.
A small share was affected. 175 million self-absorbed morons were affected.
"I'm the gift that keeps on giving"
-An actual thing said by Michael Steele, in actual real life, for realz.
He may be a scheming, conniving, duplicitous, smarmy, arrogant opportunist, but imperceptive, he's not.
What I like about Steele is that unlike Clarence Thomas, he is willing and HAPPY to take advantage of every aid open to him to get where he wants. Thomas is willing and ANGRY, but still has taken every hand out offered while bitching and moaning the whole time. What a maroon!
Was he having sex at the time?
McDonald's is a fast food place; what reason is there for people to sign up with them online? You just go in there, order cheap shitty food, and eat it; it's not like they deliver day-old anus burgers to your house or do anything else that could conceivably benefit from online services.
You know what this means, don't you? RNC RAP BATTLE!
You been served!
Michael "T-Cup" Steele vs. Ron "Ice Cream" Christie!
If Mikey-Mike doesn’t get a second term, we’ll be able to look back and say that he was the RNC’s Obama.
Hope and change, Grandmaster Steele. Or maybe just hope.
Michael Steele and John Boehner….man someone needs to come up with a sitcom about these two and call it "Banger and the Boner". With street cred like Michael Steele's and the evenglo orange tan of the Boner…don't see how that isn't a ratings smash!
I got yer campaign song right here, Mike. With sincerest apologies to Orleans:
You're Steele the one who can scratch my itch.
Steele the one, and I wouldn't switch.
We're Steele having fun, and you're Steele the one
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
Steele crazzzy.
After all these years….
Does anyone else think Michael Steele is really some kind of Nigerian email scam using photoshopped pictures of Larry David?
Michael Steele, the Pewee Herman of Black Folk.
Nice try racist scum, but Michael Steele led the GOP to historic victory in mid-term elections. The secret to his success? Irresponsibility, the hallmark of today's Repubican Party. (I just don't wanna be around when the grown-ups get back.)
Steele's a shoe-in: he may suck at the skill-testing questions, but none of the other contenders can touch him when it comes to the swimsuit competition.
"causing committee members to choke on their mint juleps and then beat their Rentboys with riding crops as they whispered to themselves “that Negro!,” over and over and over again."
So that's what the kids are calling it these days, eh?
Great news!
Now I don't have to change my avatar.
Welcome to the Republican Party, Herr Steele, where the hazing and initiation of minorities never end. They'll make sure you leave one way or another; you're only extending your grief by letting this play out. Some of them (though, increasingly less) will smile in your face, forever, but you'll never be one of them. You could belief every last one of their policy positions, but you're still an "other" to them.
The sad thing is that Michael Steele was once party of the sanity wing of the Republican Party when it came to a lot of public policy. If he was a Democrat, he'd be my favorite quirky uncle; I genuinely kind of like the guy's enthusiasm.
He's kind of the Theresienstadt of the GOP's new world order, donchathink?
Well said, Oblios.
