Michael Steele, recently elected chairman of the Republican National Committee is toast.  A goner.  Kaput.  Over the last several weeks, Mr. Steele has famously proposed the Republican's need to go "off the hook" and translate their message for "urban-suburban hip-hop settings."  He also went toe to toe with Rush Limbaugh, which ended in an embarrassing smooch on Limbaugh's butt. 

Now, news today of Mr. Steele's views on abortion:

I am pro-life, always have been, always will be.

I tried to present why I am pro life while recognizing that my mother had a "choice" before deciding to put me up for adoption. I thank her every day for supporting life. The strength of the pro life movement lies in choosing life and sharing the wisdom of that choice with those who face difficult circumstances. They did that for my mother and I am here today because they did. In my view Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided and should be repealed. I realize that there are good people in our party who disagree with me on this issue.

Dude, are you sure you know what party you belong to? 

And the icing on the cake.....Michael Steele on homosexuality (from an interview with GQ):

Question:  Do you think homosexuality is a choice?
Steele:  Oh, no. I don’t think I’ve ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there’s a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can’t simply say, oh, like, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being gay.” It’s like saying, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being black.”

Aw, come on.  He's just trying to get fired now.

A dollar a square.  I put my money down on tomorrow and the 24th of this month.
