RNC Michael Steele discuss Spending, Stippers and Race

This is how RNC's Michael Steele spends your money

Lord, Michael. You should have known this was a dumb move, besides being Black and in the RNC, but I digress.

Anywho, look at this fool's lavish spending habits:

While Steele has not purchased a plane, he continues to charter them. According to federal disclosure records, the RNC spent $17,514 on private aircraft in the month of February alone (as well as $12,691 on limousines during the same period). There are no readily identifiable private plane expenses for Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine in the DNC’s last three months of filings.

The RNC explains that Steele charters jets only when commercial service is unavailable, or when his tight schedule requires it. “Anytime the chairman has taken any private travel has been a either to a route that doesn’t exist or because of connections and multiple travel to where he just wasn’t able to do so,” Heye said. Yet Steele’s office repeatedly refused to explain in specific terms the circumstances of the February charter flights.

Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent [update: the amount is actually $1,946.25] at Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex.

RNC trips to other cities produced bills from a long list of chic and costly hotels such as the Venetian and the M Resort in Las Vegas, and the W (for a total of $19,443) in Washington. A midwinter trip to Hawaii cost the RNC $43,828, not including airfare.

Strip clubs, Vegas, Lesbian Sex... Those are values I can believe in.

President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize

Wow, this is good to wake up to... and somewhat shocking and out of the blue as well.

Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee countered that it was trying "to promote what he stands for and the positive processes that have started now." It lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen the U.S. role in combating climate change.

The peace prize was created partly to encourage ongoing peace efforts but Obama's efforts are at far earlier stages than past winners'. The Nobel committee acknowledged that they may not bear fruit at all.

"He got the prize because he has been able to change the international climate," Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said. "Some people say, and I understand it, isn't it premature? Too early? Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now. It is now that we have the opportunity to respond — all of us."

Not everyone is happy about this, but there will be haters.

Michael Steele had this to say:

"The real question Americans are asking is, What has President Obama actually accomplished?"

Trick, 'what have you accomplish?' is what you need to ask yourself, Steele. And don't put this as "Americans", we all know it's mostly you and your cronies.

Anywho, congrats, President Obama.

Interesting Quote: Michael Steele

"Now all of a sudden I've got someone who wasn't a spouse before, that I had no responsibility for, who is now getting claimed as a spouse that I now have financial responsibility for.

So how do I pay for that? Who pays for that? You just cost me money.You don't have to wear your pants cut down here or the big bling,"

Silly Steele claiming that Gay marriage will hurt America's wallets.

Fool, please!

Is that the best y'all can do? I guess Gay marriage will melt the polar ice caps and stop time.

Is Michael Steele Up to Something?

Okay, bare with me as I go into conspiracy mode. Michael Steele may be on to something.

His statements in GQ mag...

"I'm not gonna jump up and down and beat people upside the head about it and tell gays that they're wrong for wanting to aspire to that, and all of that craziness… [Y]ou just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black.'"

was the obvious sugar to the GOP's Hate-o-rade. Many of them was upset and screaming for him "to pack his knives, and go", but let's stop for a second...Is this a plan?

Could Steele be a mastermind for something bigger? This is why I'm thinking this. His new statements could his movement to an open and more inclusive GOP. Realizing the failures of the past and the shift in the cultural war, why not try a different stance. Steele can say, as the new Chair RNC, that he issued 'change'. He's trying make a better GOP that's real and true.

And that, could make him as the perfect GOP candidate for President. He changing the old school ways (to some degree) and he's challenging his party. It's like he setting up his role. The GOP can't get rid of him because it will heighten the belief that they are out of touch. And if they keep him, Steele could be their Ace in the hole.

That my weird theory today, but I feel Steele is a very smart man.

Interesting Quotes: Michael Steele

Steele had plenty to say yesterday.

"I am pro-life, always have been, always will be."

and...on if homosexuality is a choice:

"Oh, no. I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there's a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black.'"

This was said yesterday in a GQ interview, now the GOP is mad at him.

Steele, Man Up!

Head of the RNC, Michael Steele needs some balls. After Rush boasted his power at the CPAC this weekend, Steele was challenged about his leadership.


Then the Kingpin said this:
"So I am an entertainer and I have 20 million listeners because of my great song and dance routine," Limbaugh said. "Michael Steele, you are head of the Republican National Committee. You are not head of the Republican party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the Republican National Committee...and when you call them asking for money, they hang up on you. I hope that changes. It's time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of being some talking-head media star."

Okay, so I thought Steele would tell him he's poison to the GOP and they don't need his help. But no, Steele said:
"My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."

What? Leadership? Rush is not seen as a leader in the real world. He's a joke and an embarrassment to the human race. Steele, are you going to let this man mess up any chance of a comeback? Because if folks follow Rush, the GOP is doomed. He brings NOTHING to the table, however Steele, you might. Man up and handle your business.

Rush has not made any strides from GOP party and he never will. So save your party from total destruction, and show everyone who's the true leader.

GOP Chair Michael Steele Thinks Civil Unions are Crazy to Consider

Michael Steele is not taking the progressive steps as the new GOP leader. Just this Sunday, he went on Mike Gallagher's radio show and stated his views about civil unions.

GALLAGHER: Is this a time when Republicans ought to consider some sort of alternative to redefining marriage and maybe in the road, down the road to civil unions. Do you favor civil unions?

STEELE: No, no no. What would we do that for? What are you, crazy? No. Why would we backslide on a core, founding value of this country? I mean this isn’t something that you just kind of like, “Oh well, today I feel, you know, loosey-goosey on marriage.” […]

But don't take it from me, you can hear it here

Introducing the New GOP Chair, Michael Steele

This is why you lost, BTW

Black Love in the GOP

Michael Steele is chairman of the Republican National Committee after receiving the final ballot by a margin of 91 to 77.

Very interesting, considering the drama of the butthole, Chip and his racist CD. I guess the GOP wanted their own history making event, since they failed to make Moose Mess Vice President.

But with hatin' aside, congrats to Michael Steele.
