RNC Chairman Michael Steele, tumbling disoriented through space with various iconographies
Speaking Monday at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas—a place that has absolutely no resonance with the civil rights struggle whatsoever—Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele opined that Martin Luther King, Jr. would disapprove of America’s elected officials. “Dr. King would be disappointed in the political leadership of this country for failing to address the least of us,” he said, before turning to a large red man with horns and a goatee and demanding, “There—are you happy now?” Subsequent eyewitness reports suggested that that second part didn’t really happen. The first thing, though—yeah, he actually said that.
