I had the esteemed privilege to be the first student to speak to Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele as he stepped out of his sport utility vehicle when he arrived at the football game Saturday afternoon. His eyes filled with enthusiasm when he heard my first question: “Will you be the man to clean up Washington corruption if you go to the Senate?” He beamed a smile and answered with a response that sounded almost word for word like what his first ad stated, “stop the lobbyist revolving door … reform the way contributions are given.” “Well,” I responded curiously, “why did you accept money from over 120 registered lobbyists in the first quarter alone,” in reference to the tens of thousands of dollars Steele has received from lobbyists. Steele paused with a faint gasp. Upon hearing this, his campaign manager bolted in front of me and pushed me aside in an attempt to shuttle Steele away. Gary, a student who had informed me he went to Harvard University and is heading up “Students for Steele,” and the other Steele campaign members began physically blocking me from even being within sight of the Republican candidate for the Senate.

Why are cons against free speech?
And then the writer flung an Oreo at him. No wait, it was a whole bag full of Oreos. The air was thick with them.Hit Steele right in the face. Or one rolled up against his shoe.
Why can’t you liberals show a little civility?
“Students for Steele”? What a joke. I wonder how many of those “students” actually went to MD public schools and then to a MD State college. My guess, none.
