You stay classy RNC

The race for head of the RNC is a tough and hard fought battle. After all, who doesn't want to preside over a party that just got it's head handed to it in two straight elections, is being blamed for the worst financial crisis since the Depression, and doesn't seem to have any ideas beyond filibustering and whining about the liberal media. That's why you need to win over as many RNC voters as possible, to show them you're a mature adult, ready to lead the party back to semi-relevance. That's why Chip Saltsman, Mike Huckabee's campaign chair, is sending out Christmas greetings with music. Everyone loves music, right?

RNC candidate Chip Saltsman's Christmas greeting to committee members includes a music CD with lyrics from a song called "Barack the Magic Negro," first played on Rush Limbaugh's popular radio show.

Saltsman, a personal friend of conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, sent a 41-track CD along with a note to national committee members...

...The CD, called "We Hate the USA," lampoons liberals with such songs as "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish banner."

Several of the track titles, including "Barack the Magic Negro," are written in bold font.

It's a comedy tour de force. Ken Blackwell, black guy running for the RNC position on the "Shouldn't we have a black guy running things too" banner, immediately rushed to defend Chip. I guess he's so used to being rushed out to defend Republican positions, policies, and statements directed towards the black community that it's just a reflex action at this point. Mike Duncan, another RNC candidate, released a statement saying "I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate as it clearly does not move us in the right direction." Well said and well thought out, too bad it probably ensures he'll lose terribly.

Ah well, Chip pissed some liberals off so I guess he's the top candidate to take over now. Thanks for not learning anything RNC. Keep it up.
