Head-On Collision With Irony

Michael Steele, the esteemed chairman:

"[Obama] was not vetted, because the press fell in love with a black man running for office. 'Oh gee wouldn't it be neat to do that?  Gee, wouldn't it make all of our liberal guilt just go away?'" 

I tried touching this one, but I think it's better you raindancers just enjoy the irony inherent in this statement (Hint: Republicans beaten by black man having lost every minority voting bloc, grappling with "guilt," without enough time to vet...)
