3. Oh, please, Michael Steele! Don't go hip-hop on us! It'll be the end of the Democratic Party if
you unleash your Republican fight in "urban-suburban hip-hop settings."

12. I guess all Republicans aren't racist,
Are all Republicans racist?

mebbe not.

Some are just imitating Stepin Fetchit



Although one difference is that ol' Stepin didn't have many choices if he wanted a Hollywood career.

13. This guy reminds me of Bob Hope doing the last of his TV specials.
Desperately trying to seem relevant and hip. Failing miserably.

15. He is not really ready for national office.
He's never been elected to any local or state-wide office and now (because of his race) he's been given the leadership role for the party.

"Role" in the same sense that he's the face of the GOP, like Reagan was.

21. Michael Steele needs Hip replacements
He is so un-hip, it's a wonder his pants don't fall off.

26. ROFL yea good luck with that.................
I'm sure their base will love that makeover, however as far as music goes the GOP could use something new besides Hank Williams Jr and Ted Nugent.
