Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele and "The Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley"


"...Bootylicious homegirl Michelle and your two shorties" "I thought it was highly inappropriate. It is stupid. It’s not something that furthers the conversation." - Michael Steele

There's a bit more dust-up between former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele and talk show host Rush Limbaugh over the "The Official Obama Critizer" bit after questioning on Rob Redding's Redding News Review talk show.

Redding asked Steele about the bit in which a "so-called staffer" at the Rush Limbaugh show, Bo Snerdley, gives an Ebonics translation for the hood criticizing President Obama.

Michael Steele responded to the bit by saying, “I thought it was highly inappropriate,” as told to Redding. “It is stupid. It’s not something that furthers the conversation.”

Here is the Ebonics bit and Limbaugh's response to Steele's comments: Please note how Limbaugh attempts to marginalize "DJ Hughley" and the "Redding News Service" from Redding, California


You may recall in 2009 Michael Steele criticized talk show host Rush Limbaugh when CNN's D.L. Hughley referred to radio host Rush Limbaugh as "the de facto leader of the Republican party."

Steele immediately responded, "No he's not. I'm the de facto leader of the Republican party." The RNC chief went on to call Limbaugh a mere "entertainer" whose show is "incendiary" and "ugly." A couple of days later an apology followed with this statement: "My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."

Will Michael Steele be offering an apology on this one as well?

Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
