I love Michael Steele. Can't stop watching him. Track his word-droppings all over the intertubes. He is my favorite daytime sit-com, which is why I have dubbed him the "super-genius". No one embodies the cynical, crypto-racist stupidity of the Rethugs than Steele. He is the textbook definition of the gift that keeps on giving.
Well, after his bang up job with GOP.com. Steele is on to bigger better things. His brilliantly edgy blog "What Up", was dashed by the man who changed the title to "Change the Game". That's right Steele, "don't hate the playa, hate the game, my man". (OMG I can't stop the jive avalanche!)
Well, Steele is out on the TV's spreading the new Rethug meme: Healthcare reform is a train that's left the station and we rethugs are not gonna jump on board". Well Steele likes nothing more than a good juicy metaphor. Here he is, like a chihuahua with a chew toy goin at it.

Appearing on Fox this morning to talk health care reform, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele offered two contradictory -- and somewhat baffling -- metaphors for bipartisanship.
I'm not trying to be an obstructionist here. To the contrary, I'm saying, Can we all get in the room and have a Rodney King moment?" he said. He was referring to King's famous "Can we all get along?" line following the 1992 Los Angeles race riots sparked by the acquittal of the police officers who beat King.
Well, I'm the cow on the tracks. You're gonna have to stop that train to get this cow off the track to move forward," Steele said. "They told us in June that there would be a health care bill on the president's desk on Aug. 1. I think our efforts helped change that dynamic, and our efforts this fall will continue to change that dynamic."
Michael Steele is a cow. A cow on the train tracks. Take a moment out of your day to ponder the abysmal depth of this statement, uttered in response to one of our nations most pressing dilemmas. "I am a cow."
Wow.
