Wahhhhhhh

It's silly to waste two posts on Michael Steele, who's about to lose his race for the Senate in Maryland to Ben Cardin, but he's turned out to be the whiniest candidate I've ever seen. Now he's making people apologize to him for using accepted English words. And fools like Steny Hoyer go ahead and do it:

A ranking Democrat in the House of Representative is apologizing for saying an African-American Senate candidate "slavishly" supported the Republican Party.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said he meant no offense when he made the remark about Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, the GOP nominee for the seat being vacated by longtime Democratic Sen. Paul Sarbanes.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Hoyer said, "I should not have used those words."

Hoyer was speaking to a largely black audience at a campaign event for Steele's Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Ben Cardin, when he made the comment.


So now we can be offended by DERIVATIONS of words? Are you kidding me? If I call Michael Steele a blackguard, does that get me in trouble? If I say he would darken the door of the Senate with his conservative views?

What a whiner. Meanwhile this is the guy picking up the endorsement of Mike Tyson and Don King, a convicted rapist and a convicted murderer, but he's offended by words.

Go home, dude.
