RNC: "There was no attempt on my part to diminish his (Limbaugh's) voice or his leadership."
“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

5. Interesting that Steele sees Limbaugh a guide and leader over himself & the GOP..
Is that not what he just said? ;)

I love it when the truth finally comes out...

2. The Republican Party is led by a junkie talk show host.
Say that 3 times fast, and then LYFAO. :rofl:

This is almost too good to be true.

9. Not even a talk show host
The repukes are led by a Disk Jockey. A radio puker. A huckster.

And a druggie pedophile to boot.

4. So the CHAIRMAN of the party apologized for diminishing the leadership of a radio show host!
There you have it! :rofl:


I must admit ... when Obama brought up Limbaugh's name the first time, I thought, "WTF is he doing?!" It seemed silly and even a little petty. I was wrong. It was freakin' BRILLIANT! A pure stroke of genius! :patriot:

11. Perhaps Limbaugh should take over the RNC and Steele can do a radio show!
:P :crazy:

I wonder if that jackass Steele even realizes that he just made the Dems' case for them. He handed them proof on a silver platter ... and then gift-wrapped it, LOL!

Lately, I can't shake the feeling that I fell asleep ... and woke up in The Onion! :rofl:

17. I find this really sad and pathetic.
They elected/appointed Steele because of his skin color and watching him crawling like a kicked dog is just painful.
