C-SPIN WJ: Mikie Steele...
Let's see what "pearls of wisdom" he has to spin this morning. Gotta be sure he's gonna walk back his "the GOOP can't retake the House" and "the GOOP isn't ready to lead" lines he said the other day...

2. I Could Always Count On Ya...
But then I swear you must have several sets going at once to follow things as thoroughly as you do...

3. What was crass about Rachel Maddow inviting Steele
in her show. That was one stupid comment by that jackass of a host.
Callers are about to tear him a new one.

4. Coming in late (turned from Morning Schmoe). What's been the tone of the questions?

7. He's Playing the "Victim" Card...
Talk about walking a high wire act. Here's a guy who we all can agree is a self-serving assclown, but to the teabaggers, he's the uppity black who was supposed to be their toadie. Gotta give this predator credit...he is making the most of his 15 minutes.

I honestly can't see the big money boys club accepting his calls.

Of course his corrupt party isn't popular, but this week the corporate media is fixated on how the Democrats are the ones in trouble. That's fine with me...maybe this may energize the party later this year and drive Mikie back to chasing ambulances.

8. Playing to the tea bagger crowd as well
That last caller said they were against Bush's illegal war but Conservatives for Ron Paul - apparently he knows that the base is stupid and gullible.

9. It's Actually His Worst Nightmare...
The caller nailed it when they said many of the teabaggers are Paulbots. These were people who were ready to bolt from the party last year and aren't Mikie's friends. If anything, it's a parasitic relationship as the GOOPers like Armey and Steele are taking advantage of their frustration and pretending they support the party on the whole. They don't.

We should start having some good laughs once primary season starts rolling and the division between Rubio and Crist will put Mikie right in the middle...try to weasel his way to suck-up to whatever side comes out victorious. He wishes the Paulbots are more pissed with this administration and willing to be good "rushpublicans". A fatal flaw as they have no use for him.

6. Typical C-SPIN Game...
One rushpublican, one independent, one rushpublican, one democrat...

It's the usual bullshit...plays "empathy" and then goes direct to the talking point.
