Still entertaining

When George W. Bush left office, I must admit that a little part of me was dejected at the prospect of a less ridiculous political climate in the U.S. Happily, I am wrong.

The new chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, recently spoke to The Washington Times and demonstrated that the Republican party is the gift that keeps giving.

In the article, Steele promised a public relations strategy that would be "off the hook".

"We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings. (W)e need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets,” said Steele.

Urban blacks and white liberals would both be offended if they weren't laughing so hard.
