Reply #7: I have to admit that I haven't

[pipi_k]

been following this all that closely, but I do have some questions.

One of them has to do with the real or perceived overtones of racism in the whole incident.

For instance, giving Michael Steele the position he has, then turning around and virtually threatening him for "insulting" Rush Limbaugh...how and why would the GOP think that's a great idea, given that they don't want to alienate any more black voters than they already have? It just doesn't make sense to me. But then, a lot of what they do doesn't make sense, so that's nothing new, really....

Also, forgetting black voters, what about more moderate Republicans who think Rush Limbaugh is an embarrassment to the Republican party and are no doubt wincing in pain to think that he is representative of the Party as a whole...

I dunno...just seems to me that they're shooting themselves in the foot if the only people they're hoping to convince are the 20% or so who STILL think W was the greatest *Resident ever.

feh.

Whatever. It's still a hoot to see them chewing themselves to pieces, though.
