At least that's what we think Sophie B. Hawkins said. Slate, why must you tease us so?

That's Steele's response to assertions Pelosi has made, that the GOP's been taking foreign donations. "Disclose it, Nancy," he said on Meet the Press, meaning "evidence." Kinda nasty, but gender-neutral. Clearly he must've seen our complaint about "manning up."

Last night, The Daily Show asked the key questions of the RNC sex-club scandal: "Have we become so politically correct that a party operative can no longer use political donations to [fulfill] his or her thirst for hot simulated bondage?"

A glimpse into the sexual proclivities of California Republicans: "Eyepatch" underwear, a post-gay-club drunk-driving incident, and now, "a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex," with Michael Steele on the RNC dime.

A new purity test for Republicans seeking party support asks if potential GOPers support of the Defense of Marriage Act, are against government funding for abortion, and are ready to bow down and fellate the ghost of Ronald Reagan.

"GOP leaders, in a private meeting last month, delivered a blunt and at times heated message to RNC Chairman Michael Steele: quit meddling in policy." Remember, Michael, they just want you to stand there and look black. [Politico]

As expected, within a day of Jimmy Carter blaming racism for "an overwhelming portion of the intentionally demonstrated animosity toward Barack Obama," politicians — including many Democrats — began rushing to rebut the notion.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele writes in a Washington Post column today that he will protect senior citizens from health care reform and "prevent government from dictating the terms of end-of-life care."

• The Justice Department is asking a judge to dismiss the stupid lawsuit trying to prevent Hillary Clinton from serving as Secretary of State because she served in Congress. Clinton is the only former elected official in the Cabinet facing such a lawsuit. [Huffington Post]

• The Federal Elections Commission dismissed a complaint about the use of campaign money to pay for Governor Sarah Palin's clothes, so she's in the clear on that one. Now about donating them... [Anchorage Daily News]

RNC's Michael Steele just now: "Too bad the chattering classes are too busy... to notice that a change is coming... this change, my friends, is being delivered in a teabag. And that's a wonderful thing."

• Ben Affleck's Congressman character in State of Play was based on his friendship with New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, except for the part about boning a young staffer. Weiner's dating Clintonite Huma Abedin. [NY Times]

Politics can be so boring some days, with people still talking about Rush Limbaugh and Obama's budgetary maneuvers, so instead we'll focus on Beyoncé, basketball and John Edwards' reported baby mama.
