Steele's racially insensitive comment shows how out of touch he is

[Onlooker]

The comment would be offensive from anyone, but doubly so coming from him. No one should want anyone ever again to be forced to ride at the back of the bus. Rosa Parks must be turning in her grave.

From NBC's Joel Seidman
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, wearing a red baseball cap emblazoned with the words "Fire Pelosi," invited Republicans to join him on a "Fire Nancy Pelosi bus tour" Friday.

During remarks at the summer meeting of the RNC in Kansas City, Steele announced that the 6-week tour would commence after Labor Day.

Rallying the GOP to win in November and urging supporters to "get on the bus," Steele capped off his call to action by predicting that "Nancy Pelosi will be in the back of the bus."

2. "Ummmn Mr. Steele? Nancy isn't Black, she just Italian......"

Ya wonder if they think that way some days with the gaffes that come up.

5. "Also, Mr. Steele, keep in mind that YOU'RE black

and isn't the image of a black putting a white in back of the bus hypocritical on the grounds that it's what you claim Obama has done to white Americans?"

8. It seems like it ...

... or maybe Steele really is just a stupid man. That makes him no different than Bush, Reagan, or Palin, I suppose.

3. The GOP will fire Steele in the aftermath of the 2010 elections.

The GOP will not make sufficient gains to take back control of the House or Senate. So enjoy Steele's clownish behavior while we still can.

4. He was talking to a bunch of pasty, white Republicans

Trust me, they ate it up

6. The GOP platform is out of touch...

...with everything but privilege and prejudice.
