The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Ghoulish Delight]

A lot of dems have been giggling with glee over Michael Steele cowing to Rush Limbaugh. They are happy to see the 'pubs defer to a bumbling oaf that no one of importance takes seriously anymore.

But if that doesn't pan out, Steele looks like he'll make a perfectly fine substitute bumbling oaf:

From an interview with GQ's Lisa DePaulo (L)

L: How much of your pro-life stance, for you, is informed not just by your catholic faith, but by the fact that you were adopted?
M: Oh, a lot. Absolutely. I see the power of life in that. I mean, and the power of choice! The thing to keep in mind about it, uh, you know, I think as a country we get off on these misguided conversations that throw around terms that really misrepresent truth.
L: Explain that.
M: The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life. So, you know, I think the power of the argument of choice boils down to stating a case for one or the other.
L: Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?
M: Yeah. I mean, again, I think that's an individual choice.
L: You do?
M: Yeah. Absolutely.
L: Are you saying you don't want to overturn Roe v. Wade?
M: I think Roe v. Wade--as a legal matter, Roe v. Wade was a wrongly decided matter.
L: Okay, but if you overturn Roe v. Wade, how do women have the choice you just said they should have?
M: The states should make that choice: that's what the choice is. The individual choice rests in the states. Let them decide.

Uhhhhh....
