As if the Republican Party isn’t a laughing stock as is, their fearless new leader, Michael Steele, is really becoming quite an embarrassment. Steele, attemping to defend the anti-gay marriage equality sentiment of his party, said the following in a speech to Georgia’s Republican Party last week: “Now all of a sudden I’ve got someone who wasn’t a spouse before, that I had no responsibility for, who is now getting claimed as a spouse that I now have financial responsibility for. So how do I pay for that? Who pays for that? You just cost me money.”’
Using Steele’s logic, I guess we can safely assume the Emancipation Proclamation was completely off-base because surely it has cost so much money! And ending racial segregation in the public school system was so expensive that I assume Steele would rather see this reversed? PATHETIC!!! Watching the train wreck that is the Republican Party continue to implode on nearly a daily basis is really entertaining…Kieth Olbermann agrees:
