Democratic Party leaders could hardly have come up with a better candidate than Michael Steele to head the RNC. This guy is non-stop magic happy pretty time:
Steele: I am very introspective about things. I don’t do — I am a cause and effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there’s a reason for it. Even, it may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there’s a logic behind it.
Lemon: Even with the current events in news–
Steele: Yeah.
Lemon: There’s a rationale behind Rush, all that stuff?
Steele: Yup. Yup.
Lemon: You want to share it with us?
Steele: Sure, I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest, I wanted to know who says they’re with me but really isn’t.
Lemon: How does that help you?
Steele: It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, you know, where the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are.
Lemon: It’s all strategic?
Steele: It’s all strategic.
Similarly, sometimes I empty a revolver into my foot to see which of my toes are with me, and which aren’t; which toes act like they’re attached to my foot, but are really willing to jump ship every time I blow them away.
Strategerific!

STEELE: I also like to mix my metaphors. Throw ‘em in the blender and see if anybody salutes the spaghetti when it sticks to the flagpole.
LEMON: You…uh…huh?
STEELE: Doing it on purpose kind of by accident, you understand. Checking out the lay of the troops across the dispensation of the status of my arrangement. I get a feel for the look and feel of the how things look and I act or don’t act accordingly. You say, ‘that juice has anti-oxidents,’ I say Hey. There ARE no oxidents. Etc.

“I meant to do that” is of course in the Wingnut’s Book of Daily Prayers to Self. It comes right before “I’m winnin’, Spongebob!“

haha! this reminds me so much of El Chapulin Colorado, who was a mexican live-action superhero, like the old TV batman, but more lowly (his name means ‘the red cricket’) and funny.
he always mixed his metaphors, like “a bird in the hand gets the worm”, and one of his signature lines, even as he completely bumbled his way into accidently catching the bad guy, perhaps by falling on him, was “all my movements are coldly calculated (“Todos mis movimientos están fríamente calculados”).
or another signature line, “they never reckon on my cunning!” (“¡No contaban con mi astucia!”, also delivered for laughs because, you know, he’s not. cunning. like michael steele.
unfortunately michael steele doesn’t catch the bad guy.

It helps me understand my position on the chess board
That “position” would be something like “bent over the kitchen counter, ankles flailing weekly over Teh Newt’s shoulders” right?

GOP, Political Party or Variety Comedy Hour?
“In a CNN interview, RNC Chairman Michael Steele announced he’s finished with efforts to reach out to President Obama.
Steele: Look, I like the president personally, even though I think he has got a little thing about me, that I haven’t quite figured out what that is.
CNN: You haven’t spoken to him?
Steele: No.
CNN: You’ve reach out?
Steele: Several times, and I’m done.
CNN: So there is no bipartisanship going on there?
Steele: Not, not that I know of.
CNN: Is there any professional jealousy?
Steele: Not on my part. What would I be jealous of?
CNN: He’s the president of the United States.
Steele: I’m chairman of the RNC, so, what’s your point? We both have leadership responsibilities and roles. I’m not equating the two. My point is: you are on your track. I’m on my track. You do your thing. I do my thing.”

Exhibit B,
“According to the New Yorker, former Vice President Cheney late last year portrayed then President-elect Obama to Israel’s leaders as a “pro-Palestinian,” who would not support Israeli efforts in Gaza.
In private comments, Cheney also referred to Obama as someone who would “never make it in the major leagues.”"
If I were Obama, I would have Cheney to the White House, and we would spend the day loudly yelling at Cheney over lunch, for four hours in the Oval, In the Movie Theatre, LBJ style. Cheney doesn’t leave until POTUS excuses him. It would be avery fun day for Dick. We’ll make it a Sunday.

Michelle Steal are the John Galt breakfast sausage of the LOL’r'us White American Male Jewish Protestant kosher deli armada and cheesecake task force base belong to us.
He’s *that* good.
I predict major sporting events with significant correlations in beer and pizza sales, accompanied by a mildly pejorative sense in the words hope & change when spoken by persons better off dead than read.
There are not enough kittens in Kip Winger spandothongs I R in UR nugget hammock chopped liver images to do this man, Mike Steele, proper injustice.

“Lemon: It’s all strategic?
Steele: It’s all strategic.”
Don’t you guys get it? The birth certificate, the ‘scandals’ involving Obama’s relatives, his current Clouseau-esque flailing about, it’s all been part of a diabolical scheme to learn ‘Obama’s’ real name so he can use the Death note on him. Everything is going exactly as planned.

I know this is a bit off topic, but I’m about to start working on my taxes (the 15th fast approaches), anyhow since I don’t plan on accepting any cabinet positions with the current administration, I figure I can get away with implemting any advice you all might have for me? You have any ‘forgettable’ income source tips that I could use? You know, since I’m a fat-cat with loads of money and all… I’d really like to eat TWO bowls of ramen noodles a day instead of just one. Thanks in advance for the advice!
