If it's Tuesday, Michael Steele must be pro-life

Michael Steele, the pro-life pro-choice head of the Republican party, is trying to shore up his pro-life bona fides after admitting last month that he really think abortion is "an individual choice." This was the same interview in which Steele said he wasn't in favor of gay marriage, but wasn't going to get very upset about it either. Oops.

Now Steele is objecting to the appointment of Governor Kathleen Sebelius as HHS secretary because she's pro-choice. As if any Democrat or Independent cares that the 30% and shrinking Republican party is beholden to far right anti-abortion nuts. That's your party, that's not 70% of the rest of the country - or "real America" as we like to call it.

Of course, Steele is pro-choice, so he doesn't really care about Sebelius. Hell, he probably supports her appointment. But after his little run-in with Rush Limbaugh, and then the disastrous interview in which he admitted he was pro-choice and pro-gay, Steele now has to prove to Rush Limbaugh that he's just as captive to the far-right of the party as the rest of the party's leadership.
