Party Leader
 

Another gem from Michael Steele:


Steele told the audience that "no one knows what the hell it means"
when the GOP refers to itself as a "big tent."

So he offered another analogy: The GOP is a hat.

Some people wear a hat frontwards, others cocked to the left, he
explained. Some wear it backwards, he added, echoing a past statement,
"because that’s how they roll." But "the strength of the party is in
this: ... the fact that you’re willing to put the damn thing on... The
problem we’ve had as a party is: too many of our friends, neighbors,
colleagues are taking the hat off, because we’ve decided we don’t like
the way they wear it... The GOP is not about how you wear the hat, but
the fact that you want to wear the hat."



Big hat, no cattle.
