Political Commentary: "What had happened was..."

I'm reaching back to the 80s for this phrase, "gag me with a spoon"! Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has apologized to conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for his comments regarding Limbaugh's sweaty tirade at the final of the The Conservative Political Action Conference last week.
"We had a nice conversation last night," Steele said in a statement sent to CNN. "We are all good." That wasn't the case when Steele appeared on "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News". Steele called the windbag's speech "incendiary" and "ugly". Steele also insisted that he is in charge of the GOP, not Limbaugh as some may think.
The next day, Limbaugh went off on Steele during his daily show which caused this Uncle Tom to go quivering back to massa. Steele told the online journal Politico that he "was maybe a little bit inarticulate." Steele went further with his boot lickin', "There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership," adding, "There are those out there who want to look at what he's saying as incendiary and divisive and ugly. That's what I was trying to say. It didn't come out that way." In the words of Rihanna, "eh, eh, eh, eh..."
Riddle me this Batman: why does every Republic bow at the feet of this weighty windbag? Steele for a time served as the Lieutenant Governor of my state of Maryland so I have been following him for a while. I initially appreciated that he stood firm in his convictions, even though they differed from a majority of our state. So why fold like a flimsy set of cards on your first fight? That got me thinking. I have to admit that I was a little perplexed and skeptical when he got the top seat the RNC following Barack Obama's historic election. Was this RNC's attempt to reach across the racial aisle to show the world that its not the inclusive party that it's known to be? Or, was their move some "strategery" aimed at putting a black political figure against another black political figure? Who knows the RNC's motives, but I can tell you that Michael Steele's flip-flop steeze, is not the business. If he can't even stand up to Rush how is he going to represent on the "playground"? Mr. Steele can you dig in closet, find your "brother box", blow the dust off, reach in and pull out some big brown ones please? It's obvious you have lost yours!
