"Good riddance." :spew:

CNN) — A heated Michael Steele told CNN Tuesday longtime Republican Sen. Arlen Specter essentially "flipped the bird" at the GOP leadership with his decision to bolt from the party he has been a member of for more than four decades.

Speaking to CNN's Kyra Philips, the Republican National Committee Chairman said it was "not only disrespectful, but downright rude" of Specter to make this decision after the national party made it clear it would stand behind him in a contentious primary fight.

" Cornyn went out on the line for this man," he said. "For the senator to flip the bird back to Senator Cornyn and the Republican Senate Leadership, a team that stood by him, who went to the bat for him in 2004, to save his hide is not only disrespectful but down right rude,"

"I'm sure his mama didn't raise him this way," Steele added.

Steele, who said Specter had not given the party leadership a heads up about his decision, also expressed confidence the Pennsylvania senator would either lose a Democratic primary in his home state or the general election to the eventual Republican candidate.

"I seriously doubt he'll have a scot-free ride on the Democratic side no matter what kind of deal the trial lawyers and Democratic Party have made," Steele said. " Gov. Ed Rendell may not run for the U.S. Senate, but a lot of congressmen will look at that seat — this is an open seat for the Democrats."

"If Sen. Specter survives in the fall — get ready to go to the mat, baby, because we're coming after you and taking you out," added Steele.

1. Specter kicks them in the butt, and Steele is essentially saying

Please sir, i want some more.

[IntravenousDemilo]

2. "... the trial lawyers and Democratic Party..."

Gee, haven't heard stuff about those nasty "trial lawyers" in a while. Gotta keep that meme going, eh? Hey, how about "gay trial lawyers" or even better, "gay Mexican trial lawyers"? That should be even better.

7. gay Mexican trial lawyers who drink lattes and blame America first

and...yeah the point was done gotten back at lattes I think. Burn the books!

3. So, if Steele is Mr. Bluster, who's Clarabelle, the Clown?

Michele Bachmann???

4. Bachman is more like Pennywise the clown to me.

5. "I'm not one to be caught flat-footed" Ha ha ha

Actually, Steele, I think Specter both "dissed" you and caught you flat-footed.

[ProfessorPlum]

6. "Part of your core belief system"? Ha ha ha

Steele makes the mistake of believing that Specter has a core belief system.

8. yes this is why he tried to pretend he was a Democrat

when he ran for Senate. Steele would jump off the ship in a second but being one of the few black people in the whole GOP advances his career so much more than if he was a Dem, because he couldn't cut it in our party.
