Steele accuses The Baltimore Sun of racism -- Biting the hand that feeds
Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who has been harshly critical of the The Sun, renewed his criticism this week by accusing the paper of a "racist, ignorant attitude about African-American males." Steele, who made the remark Thursday in an interview with a Washington radio station, was responding to an editorial in that day's paper that was critical of his speech before the Republican National Convention. The editorial also rejected the accusation he and Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. made that the Democratic Party is "racist" in its message to blacks."I only have one thing to say to theBaltimore Sun. I apologize so heartily and sincerely that I left the plantation and I refused to come back. Sorry," Steele said in an interview on the Kojo Nnamdi show on WAMU 88.5 FM.

Governor position in MD is not an elected position. Ehrlich used him as a campaign prop. It didn't work as he received less than 10% of the Black vote more ]. Like Issac (Pictured above) he's just happy to be in the room.
