Michael Steele has changed the name of his blog. "What Up" is gone.

I don't know if it was because of the Think Progress article:

Happyhippychick's DU thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6765946

or Olberman mentioning it, but the RNC chairman's blog over at http://www.gop.com/index.php/chairman_steele/comments/let_me_ask_you is now called "Change the Game".

At least one commenter over there has noted the change.

...nobody coming to this blog page right now will know that just two hours ago the title of this blog was "What up?"...

Unfortunately, it appears that Google did not cache it. But it is well documented.

Too bad. Maybe the next time they publicly make asses of themselves (and there will be a next time) we should all keep our mouths shut and leave them clueless. :rofl:

1. lol he's such an asshole

word to ya mutha, mike. :rofl:

2. I'm convinced Steele is looking to get bounced from the RNC.

No one in his position can be that clueless as to how the "What up" blog would be perceived externally (by us) or, more importantly, internally (by them). This had to have torqued off all kinds of 'sensible' Republicans who must be wondering why Steele is turning their premier political website into an object of ridicule.

Maybe he wants to get fired....and then sue the bejesus out of them on grounds of violating his civil rights. The bad press this would create would be something to behold. Think of the discovery phase of such a case....lots of closets with skeletons over at the RNC. Could be a big payday for Mike to get him to just "go away".

6. Could Mikey be a Mole?

Maybe the DNC planted him in the RNC to embarass and further degrade them?

3. The Sarah Palin response in the energy forum is a classic!..lol!

Hello all my fellow Republicans

I think it is important for the GOP to embrace global warming as a very real and viable threat to our way of life.
As the planet temperatures continue to rise it is my view that we take real action to combat the causes rather than bickering over weather it is real or not.
Consider some of the potential risks to Alaska alone. If all the snow and permafrost disappears completely our way of life would suffer enormously. Todd would have learn a new sport for me to talk about, such as skateboarding, since snow mobile racing would be limited to an indoor sport, and I would have to buy infrared sights for my rifles as the moose wouldn't stand out as much as they do in a snowy back drop.

But i digress.

In 2012 the republican party should run on a policy that has served us so well over the past years, by embracing our core ways of thinking and applying them to this troubling issue.

1. Ask God to fix it.
God has always looked after the Republicans and i believe if we all ask him nicely he will be nice enough to fix it for us. By us of course i mean Republicans, any democratic states will have to put up with global warming still until they see the error of their ways.
I find it always helps to embrace Gods love of Republicans, when preying, to think of God in a Glen Beck T-Shirt and Jesus sporting a semi automatic and a tea baggers hat, but thats just me.

2. Eliminate the threat.
As you will have seen on the news, America has just bombed the moon. NASA will tell you this is to try and establish whether there is any water on the moon. I can tell you now this is not the truth. This was the first attempt to try to combat rising sea levels by blowing up the moon and thus removing its affect on tidal waters... sounds simple when you put it that way. As out great scientists have proved we now have the ability to bomb on an interplanetary scale. Therefore I will be pushing for legislation that will divert tax payers money to develop the "Global Warming Bomb". As recent history has shown us threats to the American way of life as best solved with large bombs, and I believe global warming is no exception.

3. Wholesale reduction in carbon emissions
I have discovered that the average human exhales 913Lbs of CO2 a year. There are also about 20 million illegal aliens in the USA at present. Therefore if we eject all these people from the USA we will cut our carbon emissions by 9 million tons per year.


I think these small measures will pave the way for a brighter future for the GOP.

I love you all


Your Sarah.
