I just read the most remarkable thing. Michael Steele, the newly "elected" chairman of the RNC has found a cure for what ails his party of old white men.
wait for it....
HIP-HOP!
YEAAAAAAAH BOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
</B-Boy stance>
The Huffington Post is on the case and it is glorious:
Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, in an interview with the Washington Times, says he's planning an "off the hook" public relations offensive to attract young blacks and Hispanic voters.
:
Asked if this venture will be cutting-edge, Steele replied, "I don't do 'cutting-edge.' That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge."
You have got to be kidding me. This is what they're bringing to the table? Hip-Hop? I see how it works, Obama was elected because he was hip and black. If the Republicans follow that model, they'll start winning elections again in no time!
Excuse me for a second, I need to vomit.

There. That's better. Where was I? Oh yes, the comments at HuffPo are hilarious:
Could this man be any more white? He makes John McCain look like Kayne West.
Q. Did you run this plan by Rush Limbaugh.
This is a prime example of "when keeping it real goes wrong"!
etc..
The really funny thing about all this is that as one other HuffPo commenter reminded me, the Daily Show already did this.
Let us now take the time and thank the RNC for putting Michael Steele in charge of their party. He'll bring the pain.
Mama said knock you out!
