The same liberals who are embracing Chris Christie’s anti-GOP crusade gleefully embraced Steele’s stompy-footedness:
Good for him. RT @sheshego: #inaug13 Michael Steele: Shame on Republicans who "had to leave town" and didn't join us today.—

Several wondered why Steele continues to associate himself with the GOP:
@utbrp Michael Steele really needs to hang up his GOP skates and embrace his Democratic soul.—

Particularly when you consider the GOP’s platform of raaaaacism:
When is Michael Steele going to walk away from the Republican party. Conservative is fine; racist/homophobic no. Look at your bedmates Mike.—

Even when he was the GOP man. RT @GRYKING: LOL. RT @reecyKup: Michael Steele ain't invited to secret GOP meetings. #whitepower—

That also probably explains why some Republicans decided not to attend the ceremony, right? Clearly everyone else thought it was a momentous occasion.
