Steel made everybody LOL on AMJoy!

[Hekate]

6. Steele is a very interesting character to me. Some months back I caught him on CSPAN...

...talking to a bunch of GOP interns in D.C. That's when I learned he'd been a seminarian. I think he is deeply principled, and deeply conservative. But the Gospel he lives by is rooted in compassion, love, and above all, intelligent self-reflection -- my words, not his.

One of the youngsters asked him something about the GOP and moral authority (mind you, with a straight face). Steele burst out, "OH HELL, NO!" and words to the effect that the GOP had spent decades telling him and everyone else who they could love, how they could love, what was evil, etc etc etc, the whole catalog of their hypocritical moralizing -- "So DON'T TELL ME" -- my gods, the man was passionate.

So we should ask ourselves this: Who better to talk to young Republicans? They sure won't listen to any of us.
