"this (GOP) change is being delivered in the form of a teabag" -- Michael Steele just now on CNN.

[Lex]

The GOP is coming back, baby! Because Michael Steele just said so in a speech.

OMG, you can't make this stuff up. :rofl:

[Occulus]

1. They really *don't* know what teabagging really is, do they? n/t

[Lex]

3. They are clueless. He's giving a speech carried by CNN

right now. Talking about how the GOP is coming back. Offering NOTHING new. Just whining about Obama.

I guess Limpballs vetted Steele's speech first.

[Parker CA]

20. MSNBC also carried the entire thing, followed it up by one repub toolshed talker, then switched

topics entirely. Nice librul media fawning over the Obama admin, huh? LOL

[Happyhippychick]

2. I was just about to post this, you beat me to it!

:rofl:

[underpants]

5. People may not not like the taste of that in their mouths

:bounce::bounce:

[Lex]

10. LOL

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

15. Sadly, the repubes wouldn't even understand your statement.

[underpants]

32. Would they understand this emoticon?

8:- )

or should it be

:-8)

[Happyhippychick]

37. Uh...

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

4. "We will be there for you America" (with tears in his eyes)

Oy

[Lex]

8. America: Yeah, um, no thanks. You all just about killed us

with the last 8 years.

[hatrack]

12. Like an abusive husband telling his wife he'll "wait for her" . . .

:puke:

[OHDEM]

6. He also claimed they were going to battle Obama...

with class that the left didn't show Bush.

When exactly will they begin to exhibit this "class"?

[Patsy Stone]

7. Their ideas couldn't even fill up a teabag.

"I'm back, baby! I'm back!" :rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

9. LOL! Michael Steele is George Costanza!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

13. It seems Steele is ready to move on the Feats of Strength.

Because this was clearly the Airing of Grievances. :)

[Lex]

19. .

:thumbsup:

[Arugula Latte]

31. The Republican Party has experienced drastic shrinkage.

They were in the pool! They were in the pool!

[Patsy Stone]

36. Norah O' Donnell just asked some guy if he was concerned

about Republican shrinkage! LOL!

Norah, are you reading DU?

[underpants]

11. "Speaking in 23 states over the last 100 days, from Oregon to Idaho, from Wisconsin to Indiana, ...

from Florida to Georgia"

Uh wow that isn't exactly coast to coast now is it Michael?

[underpants]

14. "... and that's a wonderful thing" *APPLAUSE*

:bounce::bounce:

[Happyhippychick]

17. He didn't even get applause for his "in the words of Reagan, it's time to saddle up"

I think the "applause" sign guy fell asleep.

[Lex]

18. the audience reaction seemed tepid in general

confusion reigns in the republican party

[OHDEM]

21. It did and wasn't it a group of state party chairs? nt

[Happyhippychick]

22. A tepid response from his "supporters" - that doesn't bode well.

[11 Bravo]

23. He just forgot to say, "Come on now, give a brother some love."

The gang of old, white, men would surely have gone wild had he remembered to say THAT!

[snooper2]

16. so they are going to teabag people for votes?

:rofl:

[libnnc]

24. that seems rather labor-intensive

:hide:

[RJ Connors]

25. I think it is coming back more in the form of a Gasbag. n/t

[Vinca]

26. Wow - what a speech.

It will give Big Ed material for Psycho Talk for weeks to come.

[rd_kent]

27. Steele is one of the best things to happen to the GOP

He joins a short list of shrub, dick, don, albert, and others, who are the best thing to happen to the GOP in a long time. Hopefully we will see the demise if it due to these folks. Go Mike!

[BR_Parkway]

28. Please, won't somebody think of the children!?

[Occam Bandage]

29. So the GOP is inviting people to suck its balls.

Sounds about right.

33. No more apologizing for the GOP's mistakes.

From now on they'll take pride in their fuck-ups.

[Enrique]

34. Change you can taste! n/t

[Javaman]

35. in the face of overwhelming embarrassment, the right never backs down.

they define the new standard for stupidly stubborn.

[riverdeep]

38. "Teabag right on your behind!"

Let's see, it's Tuesday, so Michael Steele must have said something stupid. Yep, there it is, like ole Faithful.

edit: how could I not get the quote right the first time, I have it embroidered on my throw pillows.

[DS1]

39. Well, a lot of them are wrinkly enough to look like balls

[cherish44]

40. Wondering what to get that hard to shop for wingnut relative for Christmas?
