Hey, gang! Remember Trey Radel, former Congressman from Florida (natch)? Remember how he lost his jerb because Obama, libruls, takers, the 47%, commies, feminazis and, oh yeah...getting busted for cocaine possession? Well, you can't keep a disgraced, coke-sniffing ex-Congressman down. No, sir!
Radel, yer standard Teabagger douche-cannon, called himself the 'hip-hop conservative' (no, I don't know either). As Radel told buzzfeed:
Unlike most young, white teenagers growing up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, my favorite musicians were hip hop artists, including rappers such as Eric B., Big Daddy Kane and Chuck D of Public Enemy.
As a young man listening to hip hop in the late 80s and early 90s, I was exposed to what was happening outside of my world of finely manicured lawns in the ‘burbs. Before I bought my first Public Enemy cassette tape (kids, you can Google “cassette tape”), exotic food was Taco Bell and my exposure to different cultures came through the television. Now, I have backpacked, worked or lived in almost 50 countries and speak three languages. I owe part of that passion, love of people and different cultures directly to hip hop.
And that, kids, is how you become a conservative GOP asshole...wait...what?
Anyhoo, the dimwitted Radel has bounced back with a PR firm called Trey Radel Media Group. TRMG promises:
Highly personalized training to message & manage media
Intimate, exclusively tailored crisis management
Persuasive American-style English for non-native speakers
Preparation to present, testify or advocate before Congress
What exactly 'persuasive American-style English for non-native speakers' entails is anyone's guess: dealing with incoherent foreign coke dealers, perhaps?
According to Radel and his two co-twerps (both sporting tragic facial hair):
We’re in the business of helping others help themselves.
Legal and political battles are no longer in courtrooms or Congressional committees. Wars are fought and won in the media, driven by foot soldiers in social media. The battles are no longer even fought with facts, figures or logic. They’re fought with emotion.
It’s not what you say. It’s how they feel.
How very true that is. And apparently,
they felt that Trey Radel was surplus to GOP requirements and gave him his walking-papers.
So, chin-up, coke-fiends! If you get busted, Trey is there for you; he will explain to your friends and family why you're now unemployed, facing jail-time and sniffing constantly.
Remember the name: Trey Radel Media Group--when there's absolutely, positively nowhere else to go.
