On Meet the Press yesterday, taxpayer-subsidized liberal Tavis Smiley described Michael Steele as a “colored face.” I’d file this away for the next time a white male (especially Southern white male) uses a dated expression:

SMILEY: I’m glad, David, that Michael Steele is there. I could never imagine 10 years ago that we’d have two parties, both headed by black men. But it’s important to understand two things, very quickly. Number one, it’s about the policy, not the personality. You can’t put a colored face out and think that black people and brown people and women are coming just because you got a colored face out front. Number one, it’s about the policy. And number two, all this infighting I think still underscores this party doesn’t know who they are, where they’re going or how they’re going to get there.
