From Salon.com:
Newsflash: Sometimes, when you make really, really obvious and very ham-handed attempts to be cool, they backfire. No, seriously. Now, if someone could tell the GOP?
Two quotes, both taken from one session at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, illustrate this point perfectly. First, from Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele:
"Tonight, we tell America: we know the past, we know we did wrong. My bad. But we go forward in appreciation of the values that brought us to this point."
Maybe it's just me, but I think dismissing the GOP's recent faults with a simple "my bad" isn't exactly the way to win voters back.
Still, at least what Steele said was less cringe-worthy than what someone else at the panel said about him. Here's Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann:
"Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man!"

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Curtis Sliwa: I gotta call for a little Jay-Z play to give you a little hand here -- so that you can go out with that (Jay-Z music playing).
Michael Steele: There you go, playa.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
