In addition to imitating white Republicans like Eddie Murphy and creating a blog that was briefly called “What Up?”, RNC chairman Michael Steele also became the first major political figure to use the Wayne’s World “Not!” catchphrase as a debating tactic on Sunday (via my friend Ben Fritz):

STEPHANOPOULOS: When you hear Governor Kaine talk about it, [the health care bill that passed the House] sounds pretty good…

STEELE: Well, it sounds good…

(CROSSTALK)
STEPHANOPOULOS: … only one Republican voted for it.

STEELE: … Not! No, look, you know, Teddy Roosevelt probably didn’t have this in mind. And certainly, this would have been one of those things he would have hunted on the big — big range and shot dead.

Maybe the RNC should consider bringing in Dana Carvey or Mike Myers (they’re available!) — it’s hard to imagine them doing much worse than Steele.
