The wit and wisdom of Michael Steele

Michael Steele, RNC chairman:

Steele told the audience that "no one knows what the hell it means" when the GOP refers to itself as a "big tent."

So he offered another analogy: The GOP is a hat.

Some people wear a hat frontwards, others cocked to the left, he explained. Some wear it backwards, he added, echoing a past statement, "because that’s how they roll." But "the strength of the party is in this: ... the fact that you’re willing to put the damn thing on... The problem we’ve had as a party is: too many of our friends, neighbors, colleagues are taking the hat off, because we’ve decided we don’t like the way they wear it... The GOP is not about how you wear the hat, but the fact that you want to wear the hat."

The guy is priceless, even when at his most incoherent.

on US soil. So far the Republican response has been next to nothing.

..... popped collar.

Or better yet ..... a pair of sagged pants. :)

the guy is an excellent representation of what's wrong with the repubs these days. The stupid comment just keep coming from Steele.

comedy gold, this guy!

The part about, "The GOP is not about how you wear the hat..." That's exactly what the GOP is about - judging others based on their appearance and lifestyle, which is why so many, "... friends, neighbors, colleagues are taking the hat off..." (which he got right). For a while, the GOP hat-wearers all got along because they were able to rally around their hatred for people not wearing their hat, and it was all fun and games, but eventually, certain segments who wore their hats one way decided that other hat-wearers weren't as good as they were and started going after them, and once they left, it happened again and again and again. That's why only 23% of the population will admit to being hat wearers, and nobody knows who's wearing the grand poobah's hat.

I'll give you wearing a hat. Wear a hat right on your behind. Craziness!!!
