Head Of RNC Sounds Like An Idiot

[bigfilmhat]

To be fair the interviewer started the "ghetto language". It's still stupid from both of them.

[Reqrezentin]

Slumdog Governor? Racist

[revealer007]

Thanks Cenk, I listened and judged for myself. You are wrong! But "what else is new?"

[revealer007]

You criticized Michael Steele. Michael Steele is a Republican. Michael Steele is black. Why do you hate black republicans? You Cenk are a racist. Now we know.

At least you don't hide it.

Does this sound familiar, all you punk-assed liberal, ignorant Obama zombie viewers?

[revealer007]

You criticized Michael Steele. Michael Steele is a Republican. Michael Steele is black. Why do you hate black republicans. You Cenk are a racist. Now we know.

At least you don't hide it.

Does this sound familiar, all you punk-assed liberal, ignorant Obama zombie viewers?

[badger5566]

This guy is just racist because Michael Steele is black.

[genYprogressive]

Like in Beverly Hills Cop Michael Steele falls for the "Banana in the Tailpipe.

[stewart0312]

Careful Michael Steele, you will scare your base with that language.

[jtjr30]

Aw yea man, I'm giving some slum luv to my Gov man, he's frikin awsome man....LMAO

[game3525]

The Republicans are embrassing. Reagan is spinning in his grave!

[zereoue]

I watched this clip a half and hour ago and I'm still laughing!!

Republicans are too stupid to be taken seriously. Keep the train wrecks coming.

[playdrumsmofuxa]

slum love to my buddy gov

...

wtf

[jpbalkenende]

He does sound fake but I wouldn't want him to sound legit either.

I mean if we're going to have public officials using slang that would be a new low. It's just hilarious the way it's all happening with the GOP! My god hard to comprehend even hahaha!

The GOP elects a token brown guy to act as an awkward dad with a mid life crisis in the hopes to attract the youth. Rather than change their platform which might god forbid offend the core zealots of the party who are no longer politically relevant.

[PlayT0E]

Steele trying to use "hip hop" language ... proves he has NO idea how to be cool.

And he sounds ridiculous.

and what he says is ridiculous

and he is ridiculous.

Should be gotten RID of.

[carl1212]

nah, hey, hey, ya know, hey, Bobby Jindal is doing a f-f-freakin aw-awsome job.

ahhah one of the fakest things I have ever heard.

[takomaguy]

Michael Steele is fake, as well as weak. Limbaugh turned his ass out like a prison bitch.

[DblOSmith]

Nicely said.

[gargantuen666]

friggin awesome job

[blachubear]

Jindal saving Louisiana? You better read the local Louisiana newspapers, this guy is a disaster just like you Steele & the rest of the GOP.

[Nihlstorp]

Do you have any article about that? I would really like to read that.

Thanks!

[ProserpinaFC]

Wow, whoever was hosting that radio show is effing socially retarded.

Pointing out a person's ethnicity is, like, the most annoying thing ever. X) Everything you say sounds either racist or like you are trying to hard to seem like you "understand."

Damn. Crazy-ass white dudes need to quit acting like they gotta point out fucking skin color.

[jpbalkenende]

@Prosper

I actually thought it was a liberal baiting Steele but it turns out to be a clueless conservative :p

[ProserpinaFC]

lol....

These people are trying too hard. It's too hard to watch.

[fdub187]

I'm waiting for him to say '' I'm gettin jiggy wit it." What a sell out Uncle Tom. That's the "friggin" truth. keep rippin these phony crooks.

[Oban2006]

Cenk your so funny in this.

[MixesCrystalz]

Would Steele be head of the RNC if Obama was not president?? No way, .... to counter a black man.. gottta use a black man and that is the Republican logic...

[jshooper]

if anyone has ever seen the office they probably know the scene where michael is trying to talk "black" and darrell makes up street lingo for him to use....this is what steele reminded me of...a completely uncool loser just going along with whatever made up terms someone tells him to say....what a tool....i bet he gets made fun of by all his racist country club buddies

[DillonX]

This is the best guy the GOP could find to head the RNC?

Seriously?

No, this is the best guy the GOP cculd find?

Really?

You be kidding?

[lakeviewviking]

You're calling a black man an idiot? RACIST!

Oh, he's a republican? Well, that doesn't count , then!

[oxus72]

Piercing analysis, really. Just like we all know the reason Cenk ripped Chris Brown like he did isn't bcs Brown is a sick abuser - it's for Brown's undying support for the GOP. The "Obama or Die!" shirt was just a prank, duh!

Hey, Chris - haven't you heard btw, Rihanna voted for OBAMA! I guess you amended an "Obedient or Die" doctrine to your original policy.

[Basta11]

Exactly! =)

[erfans22]

LOL i love your immitations !!! fucking gold!

[livingonradio13]

Michael Steele should give some Slumlove to one of the ladies working the corner and catch the clap; now that would be "Freakin' Awsome".lol

[ILoveGoodFellas]

This is painful to listen to, as a black person, this is straight insulting - He throws in a few yos and fake rap and "nahs" and "Freakin" - Uurrgh.

[matthlowder]

i fuckin love cenk's jindal impression! love it love it ! please do it every once in a while. i literally laugh out loud!

[Ian7570]

Jindal had me laughing so hard. "Hello, boys and girls!" I thought it was friggin awesomely hilarious.

[DillonX]

In most of the other 120 countries of the world when people speak of "slums" the folks don't have running water, indoor toliets, or electricity.

We don't have those kind of "slums" in the USA but we certainly have poor people & many seeking employment now.

Let's hope & pray Barack can get our country turned around.

[cobraman96]

Well hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first!

[Lorenzo312]

Hilarious Jindal impression

[ibwilliamsi]

There are slums in the US. Except we call them "Homeless Camps" or "Reservations". If you think that the American Indians aren't still living poor on the crappiest scrap of land out there, you've never been.

[DzillaR]

there are slums, you cannot deny that. check every area of your town, or the closest urban city. there are slums in L.A. i've been out to Chicago, and there are slums there as well.

[DzillaR]

what the hell is slum love though? cheap love?

[tico8007]

steel looks a lot like Carl Malone

[DEREKinNYC]

The Republicans are desperately trying to re brand themselves as hip. It's going to back fire of course. The best thing Michael Steele can do is not play into expectations that because he is a man of color he must know hipness. This BTW is why the republicans are taking a back seat for the next four years.

[cheeseybacon35]

Dude if you keep you hopes up, maybe you'll be the next Keith Olbermann. I'm rooting for ya!

[sidvidle]

Ok, is anyone else deeply disturbed by this? I mean beyond the sheer irrelevance and stupidity of this attempt at bravado (or machismo street cred, no clue what the point was really...), it's just creepy! Nobody likes old ppl saying non-existant slang to sound ''hip'' w/the youngsters, we don't even get it so please stop it!!!

[Sheogorath64]

Mike Malloy is better than ALL the young turks.

[olivia4490]

There are no slums in the US? are you serious?

[jaroncreed]

Cenk u naive little man, The US has plenty of slums! Somebody should take Cenk out of LA for a week or two to see the U.S. even though he's been here a long time it doesnt seem like he knows that much outside of California

[dubdub911]

you need to get outside the us trust me there are no slums in the US, not like in other places ive seen slums and i have never seen anthing close in the US

[Eric8542009]

dubdub911, How can you say there are no slums in the US? You obviously haven't been here, I don't know if have.

But there are alot of people in America that are struggling and living in poor conditions.

[dubdub911]

first im american and serced in the us marine corps

im from louisiana and have family members who lived in some of the worst projects in new orlean where the average income is from 9 to 18k a year

while in the marines ive been to places where people live in a tin shack and no running water and its like 8 people and they all live off like $500 a year

so are there bad places in in the US yes but if you whent to other countries they would switch in a heartbeat but not the american

[tico8007]

or camden nj

[realrocky8591]

Cenk was correct, there are no "slums" in the U.S. If you've been to any foreign countries, there are plenty of people who live on $50 USD a year literally, or have families of 40 live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

[rockdiga]

You shouldnt be arguing if there are slums or not..you should be arguing why do we have anything even close to slums in the United states of America...

[fishbait888]

fuck obama

[utubefavorsdems]

Steele owns Muslim.

[oxus72]

I've got my eyes on this ghetto homie - the minute he lets go another slum fist jab, I'm gonna call his muslim gangsta chairman's terrorist ass out, brother.

[mesonephros]

dude, your anything but a tightass

[laughingfurry]

Wow. Only wannabes talk like that. I've heard that kind of talk only from those who think they are "street".

Hearing stuff like "slum love" makes me question ones ability to comunicate.

Your right, he sounds like an idiot.

[qanazir]

Trying to be "cool" while parroting conservative values.

That does indeed end in failure.

[bigbad169]

I agree that Michael Steele shouldn't lower himself and talk in that ebonic slang that idiots use when trying to be with it, Like Oprah does and Hillary attempted to do. I've been all over this country and guess what, There are friggin slums in the U.S. .The host should get to the movies to realize the movie reference in Sliwa's comments. Espn announcers sometimes try to use ebonics and mangle the english language when they report on the NBA or NCAA games. very demeaning to African Americans

[hpso12xu]

no slums in the U.S.? wtf is wrong with you? are you that out of touch?

besides, superficial BS like using slang is not worth noting. it makes you look petty. you sound like a cry baby. who cares?!?! it doesn't matter!

[Wilbo23]

Michael Steele needs to stop trying to be cool. Obama is living proof you can be a black politican and a nerd at the same time. In fact, in order to be a politicans you more likely than not HAVE TO BE a nerd. Or a wignut. I would rather vote for a nerd than a baller or a hipster.

[eliosh]

I got a news flash. All politicians are fake.  You can't pay for a successful campaign on hopes and dreams and you don't get millions and millions of dollars in campaign contributions with sincerity. Also, man has landed on the moon.

[Swordsquire]

Yes, the party that pushed Nixon's "Southern strategy' so well, the buddies of the KKK, the party of stoking white middle class anger...

...the party which had one or two token dark people up on stage at their recent conventions, but nearly none in the audience...

...that party is so desperately clutching at straws that they are putting "tokens" in Leadership positions.

Bwahahahahahhahahah!

[mrlukehtown]

im black and steele is the biggest house nigga ever

[Swordsquire]

LOL! Totally and completely!

[Voodooray007]

I'm a African-American and I'm not gonna do the Michael Steele is a "House Nigga" or "Uncle Tom" band wagon I'm better than that. Michael Steele is just so damn fake. the GOP is trying to hard to impressed African-Americans. They just don't get it. GOP needs to start to LISTEN, UNDERSTAND, BE REAL, and BE A HUMAN BEING! The GOP will never learn this.

[iptfan45]

Very good comment!

[hollywoodartchick]

Good insight. What the marketing forces behind the GOP do not get is that we are tired of having their pro-wealth policies wrapped in packages with pictures of women and people of color on them. They sell image to people who don't know any better, but the average American is suffering too much to buy an image with no substance right now. If they got REAL, they would have to admit that their policies transfer wealth upward. That would cost them the entire cracker vote.

[Voodooray007]

thank you hollywoodartchick and iptfan45.

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

I think Steele is mocking people who talk like that, and thats a lot.

[Frackin64]

Slum love? WTF?

[calimar28]

As a conservative independant, and after watching Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Michael Steele, and Bobby Jindal speak as the leadership of the party, I can say that the GOP is in serious trouble.

[Sheogorath64]

that is what you get for letting your party get hijacked and taken into war for another country. suckers.

[melowar78]

Cenks impersonation of Jindal cracks me up everytime! Its sad that the Republicans think that getting minorities to speak for them will help their party. I find it almost offensive actually. I think they really believe Obama is pres just because he's black. I'm sure there were those who voted for him for that reason but I think most voted for him because he was obviously the better choice.

[iptfan45]

Another good comment...

[skynet329]

This must be part of the RNC's "Hip-Hop" campaign.

[TW0man4RMY]

Wow, they must be digging really far down into that bag of tricks.

[znotty]

Living on the other side of the world & only seeing the media it looked like some parts of detroit looks are a slum & New Orleans suburbs they looked a bit rough as well.

[PlayT0E]

The RNC found a black guy who just isn't cool.

As for Steel & Jindal ... if they keep this up we can expect to see them trying to plant watermelons on the white house lawn.

[xblacklacx]

fake ass nigga

[DillonX]

Two Words:

Uncle Tom.

[saadasim]

Head Of RNC Sounds Like An Idiot because they are trying to appeal to their base.

[kreskinkun]

What an idiot. He really said friggin'? Does he realize which party he's the head of? So many old prudes would be upset with him. People like my dad think frigging is vulgar, probably because the word refers sex or masturbation. It's a small compromise away from saying fuck, really only in terms of how socially acceptable it is and what movies and tv would rate it.

I mean, I don't fucking care if he says it, but religious conservatives might.

[stafax]

After this interview, Michael Steele immediately went home, turned the tv on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for notes on ebonics.

[theoneandonlyroelle]

lol, jokes!

[Reqrezentin]

Hahaha

[Ruckus2thaLADIES]

UNCLE TOM

[rollsthepaul]

Steele was patronizing and ingenuine.

[ARom101]

Being black, this is offensive.

[athews1976]

Fake corny ass Michael Steel trying to be hip.

[bleepmaster23]

You're being a tight ass. The slum love thing is retarded but you are making a mountain of a molehill.

[crowdaddy13]

i think any black man or minority for that matter that can be a sellout and be republican is an idiot in my book

[Stormwern]

not a big deal

[john6echo]

Cenk. You are a RACIST against BLACK republicans.

[MikeRoch6969]

dude, he is trying to appeal to the youth but like a typical republican he has only empty words and he fails misarably looking like some old fart who is trying to be hip.

besides, you don't hear obama say shit like "slum love" nor him calling his wife his "hoe"

[Banghouse]

Racist against Black Republicans? lol, that doesn't even sound intelligent. Perhaps you meant bias.

[bananagraveyard]

This isn't important or interesting at all. 1 Star.

[HEYBUDD]

Slum Love is what you give your mama Cenk.

Palin/Jendal in 010!.....whoo hoo!

[lamborger]

to HEYBUDD

"Palin/Jendal in 010!"

That is going to be a little tough, considering the fact that there will be no election in 2010, the election will be in 2012. LOL, but the good news is you are still smarter than Palin and Jindal combined (it doesn't take much)... yayyyyy!!!

[Spentastic]

Go easy on HEYBUDD he's from Texas y'know.

[crowdaddy13]

hey im from texas too!!!!!

about the only liberal in these parts LOL

[worldsavy]

that was more awkward than a white guy acting black.. Steele is an oreo working in an oreo city

[TheTriumph]

lol Slum Love = Slumdog Millionaire reference

[Bubba186]

republicans think so little of the public that they actually expect to pull the wool over their eyes by strutting out steele and jindal, what a pair of clowns...

[Daybreaq]

I couldn't figure out why the Republicans thought Jindal was their next great hope: at least they seemed to before his speech. Now I get it! They thought, "Oh this movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is really popular and it's about Indians. The American people are in love with Indians now. Let's get that guy who has Indian parents to make the GOP response speech! They'll love him 'cause he's just like those people in that movie!" It sounds totally absurd; but I bet that's what they were really thinking

[medaa25]

Dam you might just be right about that!

[darealdjnutz]

These people are clowns. They are going to be extinct soon.

[p12psicop]

I have loved everyone and everything with all my heart every minute of every day of my entire life.

[Gilgamesh387]

even giant ass warts????

[p12psicop]

Will you be my friend?

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Steele is AN IDIOT! He is Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin will make a SUPERIOR chair of the RNC because she is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Steele! She is also MORE MAN than he is. Steele wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants. When Palin runs in 2012, she will make Steele get down and kiss her feet and SUCK HER PACKAGE! Steele will help Palin PWN Obambi to victory and 8 years of the GREATEST Presidency of ALL TIMES!

[Bubba186]

I'm torn, Steele is indeed an idiot, but then, so are all the rest of the republicans...

[TheTriumph]

Indeed

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Yes, the GOP is full of idiots with one BIG exception, SARAH PALIN!

[Bubba186]

every comic iin america hopes she runs, lol

[ERAUPRCWA]

eh, what can you say, it's the Republican party... They don't know how to interact with the American people. That's pretty obvious by their lame attempt with choosing a "real" American like Sarah Palin, glorified Joe The Plumber, Bobby Jindal talking to us like 3rd graders and Michael Steele a black Republican head of the RNC to bring in 4% of minority voters... c'mon you have to do better than that

[quirrelhello]

Cenk - i love you man. I can't wait to see you take over the news networks! You're just way more insightful and entertaining than everyone on there now.

[ArtemisMS]

Omg. If they even watched Slumdog they'd know that calling Jindal a "slumdog" is like a major insult.

[rell127]

I love how people on the right try to appeal to minorities like me by appealing to the stereotypes. Whats amazing the have a man a head of them that never won an election lol.

[PharaohessSetsume]

Jindal+Steele+Sarah Palin+GOP = EPIC FAIL!

I'm gonna say this again WHERE THE F*** DO THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE DX!? GOP is digging it's own grave. Good for us i guess:D

[ViciousGX]

Omg.

I SWEAR

they elected him so he could appear on "Urban" and "Surburban" Radio and shows. I SWEAR that has to be the only reason xDDD

[HulkSmashPunyHumans]

Michael Steele and whole "hip hop" GOP thing is fucking hilarious.

It reminds me so much of Vanilla Ice claiming to be "from the streets" or some college white kids trying to freestyle rap about their "gats, ho's, and dead homies."

Steele is like the world's first black wigger.

[GrownupPhan]

Yeah, Steele is trying WAY too hard to sound "street."

[yujinishuge]

America has slums. Ghetto = slum.

[sgw94]

Vanilla Ice sounds blacker than Michael Steele. God that guy is a joke. Someone tell him the 90s called and they want their lingo back.

[Swordsquire]

Republicans tryin' to be street = EPIC FAAAAIIILLL!!!

But in all honesty, can these guys be anymore , what's the word...? Oh yes, pathetic?

[njb444]

Michael Steele is a friggin idiot.

[hash1212]

slum love?

what the fuck is that?

because Jindal is indian? I dont get it? Thats just stupid.

[larsontic]

No slums in America Cenk ?

[blasphimus]

sure we have "slums" in the US. But , the guy was making a reference to the movie slumdog millionaire. The poverty in India makes US poverty look pretty appeasing.

[elitemathlete]

He sounds whiter then me! No really, he literally does!

[nolimitposer]

Friggin'? Really?

[velocity246]

LOL @ friggin' awesome!

[naughtygirlga]

Even their best republicans SUCK!!!!

[Panamaschild]

Even the Black republicans are out of touch, lol

[MikeNobodyIsBack]

I think it's a requirement for membership.

[DameDiabolique]

I think Slumdog Millionaire is a Bollywood movie that is really popular; I think?

[menthol5]

Republicans have reached rock bottom and are starting to dig . . .

[hypnofan35]

Mr. Nerdly Steele

[201curzonst]

I have said this before: Michael Steele must be banned from any kind of urban colloquialism or slang term when speaking in public/ on broadcast media. He is the archetype of a loser-uncle and it gives me the creeps when words like 'hip-hop' or 'baby' cross his lips.

[upabittoolate]

in all fairness, he's from petworth in DC. i haven't spent too much time there but from what i understand, it's grimy. this is kinda like when gen powell caught a little jig & people got uptight (but powell had some style, steeles looks to be fumbling through some kind of attempt to 'reach out'). i don't care if he uses slang because be a republican doesn't make his upbringing disappear. BUT, the dude is corny. i admit that

[Richardgwm]

Michael Steele is epic fail.

[robhagle]

@ 2:45 love the Jindal impression.

[josh22922]

seriously? slum love. Just because he's Indian....Or his parents are Indian. He's not even Indian, he's probably more white than your average American.

[Smackdown5]

You are so full of shit! If your parents are Indian, YOU are Indian! Doesn't matter where you are born, you are an Indian with US passport. So he is Indian and a slumbdog failure! lol

[upabittoolate]

no. goverenor jindal is an AMERICAN with immigrant parents. no middle ground there. he may have an ethnic sense but he's AMERICAN. his skin color does not exclude him from his inalienable rights. don't do what so many wing nuts have done in trying to defame obama. respect his citizenship & his nationality

[Smackdown5]

Yes I was referring to the ethnic sense. And PLEASE, DO NOT put Obama and Jindal in 1 sentence. Obama OWNS Jindal for life. Jindal is an Obama wannabe! Its pathetic!

[upabittoolate]

i feel you on that. and you have no disagreements on how much jindal sucks balls over here. i just want people to be mindful of the mean spirited & baseless rhetoric that plagued the blogosphere about president obama. i'm black but i'm american. i don't want our side doing what the lowlifes on their side did. feel me?

[chefawkes]

to be fair, the host was the one that mentioned.

[MikeNobodyIsBack]

To be fair, they're both tools.

[chefawkes]

fair enough.

[JimboSlicer83]

"Some slum love to my buddy gov" hahahahhahahah who the fuck is this guy?

[sunnyallthetime]

For me, the goofy looking red beret has always said enough.

[widgit007]

That was "friggin'" funny. I look forward to many more laughs from the new "off the hook" , "hip hop" GOP. Every time i think the Republicans can't get any crazier, they prove me wrong.

[Chubearishere]

...Young Turks, Love it.

[gordongekko83]

He's trying to make a back-handed comment because Jindal is Indian. He's making reference to Slum Dog Millionaire and the slums of India. That's what it sounds like.

[baddmanaz]

this is the headof rnc?

[Fudgey123873434]

Yup he's the head, what a douche.
