"Mystery" GOP Senate Candidate Who Slammed Bush Now Calls Him His "Homeboy"
Michael Steel, who slammed George Bush anonymously to reporters and was outed for it yesterday, is now looking to repair relations with Bush by referring to the President as his "homeboy." From the Associated Press:
Republican Senate candidate Michael Steele on Wednesday called President Bush his "homeboy," reversed course on having the president campaign for him and said he was joking when he described his Republican affiliation as a scarlet letter.The Maryland lieutenant governor, under fire for his comments, told WBAL radio that his remarks were supposed to be off the record with a handful of reporters...
"I've been quoted as calling the president my homeboy, you know. And that's how I feel. ... It's a term of affection and respect for his leadership of our country in a difficult time," Steele, who is black, said in the radio interview.
That should patch things up.
