Steele and Tyson

Great post by Steve Gilliard on the teaming up of Mike Tyson and Michael Steele:

You know why I haven't had to photoshop pictures of Steele since last year?

Because of sh*t like this. He can whine that bullsh*t about me working for the Dems all he wants, but on God's green earth, I would have NEVER thought of putting Mike Tyson in a Steele shirt. He's getting the endorsement of a convicted rapist. I know he married his sister, but come on, Tyson scares criminals, forget honest people. When you have such rich materials like this, why create fiction.

But what is totally infuriating is the contempt [Steele] has for the black intellect. Mike Tyson hasn't been anyone's hero in a long, long time. In fact, his pathologies scare a lot of people. And the GOP tosses yet another criminal in our faces as a indicator of black achievement.

Where is the black GOP Barack Obama or even Harold Ford? They don't f*cking exist, because while the GOP allows a quick route up, people of character usually avoid them. Blackwell, Swann and Steele are an embarassment to politics. They could never be as inept as they are and survive Democratic politics.
