Oh snap, Michael Steele’s new joint hits the streets today. Not that you haven’t had the bootleg since October (before it was even conceived, most likely). It is a creative approach, here, to equate your potential audience with alcoholics in need of a recovery itinerary. How are the literary tastemakers responding to this pre-ordained failure [...]

Uh oh: Certain people who care about such things have caught wind of Michael Steele’s semi-successful Michael Steele-impersonation grift! Charging speaking fees is not even “outside the game” or “what up,” but this did not stop a disgruntled couplet of former RNC chairmen from slagging off on Steele in the Washington Times today.

Every single thing on the RNC’s newish web site is eventually removed, in shame, 12-24 hours after it is introduced, so it is sad but unsurprising that GOP.am—that’s GOP.com’s fashionable “conservative URL” handle—has been incinerated, kind of.

Oh golly a new RNC web ad. Who cares? Well, it is part of Michael Steele’s new post-Scuzzlebutt RNC strategy so kidnap all the teabaggers and make them Honest Republican canvassing slaves: “At a press conference yesterday, RNC Chair Michael Steele announced plans to tell all of America how hard his party is working to [...]

Oh come on, RNC, they were fun! And funny! Michael Steele cold goin’ nuts, baby. Oh well. Screen grabs were taken, in case we’re ever allowed to use them. [Odell Photos]

Look what a little birdie has discovered in a secret corner of the Internet: Michael Steele in various wacky poses with RNC interns. So hilarious, yet so copyrighted! Enjoy. UPDATE: Round Two. [Odell Photos]

The RNC is considering making all Republican politicians take a ten-question Ronald Reagan-themed purity test! According to Daily Intel, “If someone disagrees with three or more of the policies, the resolution’s supporters want to withhold party money and endorsement. The 80 percent threshold comes from a famous Reagan quote: ‘The person who agrees with you [...]

Whenever absolutely anything goes wrong, immediately fire the nearest communications director. This is a law, in our politics. It would follow, then, that Michael Steele would have already gone through all the communications directors on Earth, multiple times. Well! This recent RNC communications director, Trevor Francis, had only been at his job since March but [...]

Here’s the RNC’s fancy new web ad arguing that Ben Nelson or any other moderate Democrats would be hypocrites if they didn’t filibuster a motion to proceed on a health care bill. They claim that this would be akin to John Kerry’s famous “for it before I was against it” line on Iraq funding in [...]

In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE has pledged to recycle smear campaigns and political spin! Yes, MICHAEL STEELE has finally done it! He’s bringing back all your favorites: “flip-flopper” … WILLIE HORTON … “cut and run” … “Why did the Democrats flip-flop and let Willie Horton cut and run?” [...]

Michael Steele was so enraged by RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s original endorsement of Scuzzlebutt, the Maoist “moderate Republican” candidate in the NY-23 special election, that he has killed that Michael Steele and invented a new Michael Steele to dress up and run around on television as. This Michael Steele despises any semblance of moderation and [...]

Oh look: Michael Steele went on Lawrence O’Donnell’s Try To Make Everyone Laugh Using Just Your Clothing show. Lawrence O’Donnell’s like, “Michael Steele, on a scale from total failure to total failure, how would you rate your involvement in the NY-23 race?” Michael Steele, gloating and beaming as if his mouth has never met the [...]

Okay you guys, Michael Steele has been doing some Googling. No one panic. It’s just that, well, you’ve probably already heard about her, but… this Olympia Snowe lady? “I say, Welcome. Welcome. Each member of this party has a unique footprint. And it’s different from region to region. I can’t win in the Northeast with [...]

Sure, you can’t prevent any old dingbat from loading a “fan foto” to your Facebook fan page. But my oh my, what fans the RNC has! [Raw Story]

Looks like the RNC is still trying to give this “Internet” thing a go: “With an ever-increasing number of Czar appointments by President Obama, it has become clear that no position is too absurd. In an effort to assist in adding another cumbersome bureaucratic layer to government and to help properly ensure the basic human [...]
