Department of Embarassing Adults

Following on the heels of Mitt Romney's highly successful "Who let the dogs out" outreach to the "urban" community last year (which you need to watch if you've not seen it), newly elected RNC Chair Michael Steele decided that the Republican party's downfall is not a lack of ideas or the fact that it's in thrall to a 300 lb barbituates addict, but that it's not "hip-hop" enough:

Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party's principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.”
The RNC's first black chairman will “surprise everyone” when updating the party's image using the Internet and advertisements on radio, on television and in print, he told The Washington Times.


Having been elected to the job that the Bush White House and its political guru, Karl Rove, once denied him, Mr. Steele is running the show his way. To those who claimed he can't make the trains run on time, he has this message: “Stuff it.”
