Nearly a month ago, Stephen Colbert invited Michael Steele, the RNC’s
new chairman/hip-hop impresario
, to come on his show. Steele
accepted Colbert’s offer in
the press
but never bothered to show up for the rap
battle. While he couldn’t make it in person, that didn’t stop The
Colbert Report
from remixing some of Steele’s whackest lines into a hip-hop flow that overwhelmed Colbert’s funny, faltering freestyle.
