The latest in Michael Steele's open-mouth-insert-both-feet-and-a-fist-too ramblings is almost too over-the-top to believe. How bigoted can one person be against their own culture?
This is a short and sweet diary, not much can be analyzed or pondered. I just wanted to share a small bit of the GOPs continuing fall into irrelevance. Behold:
To lure African-Americans into the GOP, Steele is offering "fried chicken and potato salad."
What, no watermelon too? Why not offer a free trip to the corner barbershop for some gossip and cornrows?
The above quote was said in an interview with Republican blog Hoosier Access. Did Steele think that this would not get out? Does he really not give a shit about his party's deteriorating image among all groups (other than white religious male)? It boggles the mind. And this is their party head. Of course, this IS the party that just elected an outright racist to head their Youth division. Disgraceful. I hope he was kidding, but based on the things he's said in the past, I think..... well, shit, I have no idea what he could be thinking. Or maybe he's just not. Maybe he's the most socially inept person out there. Or maybe Steele is just a racist trapped in a black man's body.
