So Embarrassing…
Admitting to this is like admitting that at one time in my life I would only eat steak if it was covered in Velveeta. Yes, I am a Midwestern girl who grew up a Republican. However, after watching this video from the Daily Show, I can now say with no regret, that I am no longer a member of the Republican party. As I now realize that steak is better without Velveeta, I now realize that my Grand Old Republican party will never return and has been completely hijacked by idiots.

Daily Show: The RNC’s new website features an American flag with hydraulics and Michael Steele’s blog, “What Up.”
GOP Confused: Steele Compares Obama to Nixon
I’m seriously wondering how much longer the Republican party can sit there and watch this guy drive the party bus into the ditch. If nothing else, it’s great comedy for the rest of us. Michael Steele’s throwing out more enlightened comments in a radio show he did two weeks ago. The Huffington Post reports:
The RNC chair agreed wholeheartedly with a caller who compared the Obama administration to that of Richard Nixon.
“I’m going to tell you something,” Steele replied. “You make such an important point, because I had a conversation earlier this week about the very point you just made about the Nixon administration. What you are seeing here, folks, unfold is nothing short of the Nixon administration played out in a different era and a different style. But the results and the effects are the same. You have H.R. Haldeman and Rahm Emanuel, these guys, the master manipulators, the master controllers in the background, moving and shaking the pieces, creating an enemies list, putting together the targets on our side. The whole strategy of demonizing Rush Limbaugh, which has been exposed now…”
Alex P. Keaton is in shock right now.

Colbert Challenges GOP Chair to Rap Debate
Colbert helps put the GOP’s current obsession with hip hop culture into perspective. Michelle Bachmann added, “You be da man!“
Most Asinine Debate of the Year
At a time when the economy has cratered, unemployment is rising, home sales are down, businesses are going under and the world continues to grow more dangerous, the GOP has focused all it’s attention on the most pressing issue of our time: what slogan should replace “drill baby drill.”
Yes, really.
“Drill baby drill” has become so passe that even Governor Sarah Palin has stopped using it.
Some highlights from the Politico article detailing the serious, time consuming, debate that has engulfed the GOP as they try to come up with a new slogan:
“This year, everyone’s thinking maybe they’ll actually come up with grown-up things to say,” said Republican energy lobbyist Michael McKenna, president of MWR Strategies. “‘Drill, baby, drill’ impeded the conversation. We energy guys hated it.”
All eyes are now turning to new Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who coined the phrase, and some lawmakers hope he might crank out another infectious slogan.
In the meantime, some House Republicans aren’t waiting around for a Steele brainstorm.
Good to know. That could take a really, really, really long time. See Steele’s interview with George Stephanopoulos in which he insists that Government jobs are not “jobs”.
More from Politico:
“A more accurate depiction of the Republican message is ‘all of the above,’ rather than ‘drill, baby, drill,’” Lamborn told Politico. “It shows Republicans are sympathetic to the need for alternatives and renewables to be developed further but absolutely must not neglect conventional energy resources.
How about: “Think baby think!” It seems to be something the Republicans have forgotten how to do.
