Update: 3/3/09

Steele apologized to Limbaugh saying, “My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

I am sure if Rush Limbaugh thought he could call RNC chairman Michael Steele “boy” and get away with it, he would have done it today on his show.

In response to the statement that Michael Steele made on CNN’s D.L Hughley show last Saturday night, Limbaugh said Steele should do what he is being paid to do.

During Hughley’s conversation with Steele, the TV host referred to Limbaugh as “the de facto leader of the Republican party,” and Steele replied, “No he’s not.  I am the de facto leader of the Republican Party, he is a mere entertainer.”

On his radio show today, the drug addict nut job called Michael Steele a “so-called Republican,” and said the RNC “need a little leadership.”

Limbaugh said, “So I am an entertainer and I have 20 million listeners because of my great song and dance routine.  Michael Steele, you are head of the RNC, you are not head of the Republican Party.  Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the RNC, and WHEN YOU CALL THEM ASKING FOR MONEY, THEY HANG UP ON YOU.”

“I hope that changes,” the radio host said. “It is time, Mr. Steele, for you to GO BEHIND THE SCENES AND START DOING THE WORK THAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO INSTEAD OF BEING SOME TALKING-HEAD MEDIA STAR.”
