The New Face of Cool, Baby

That’s right, baybay. Michael Steele, RNC Chair, is one hip dude and he’s bringing it to the Republican Party. Do I sound stupid talking like that? Of course I do! I’m old and not hip and I know it. Michael didn’t get the message. However he is getting ready to launch a public relations offensive aimed at bringing the young, the hiphop and the cool, especially young black and Hispanic voters, into the folds of the Republican Party “by applying the party’s principles to urban-suburban hip-hop settings.” Say what? You’re gonna what? And how’re you going to do that Michael? But he dodged the question:

He stiff-armed an attempt to get him to elaborate on his public relations effort, saying he would be an idiot to give his opponents too much information, but indicated the Republican Party needs to break out of being considered a regional party.

That’s right. Because the Democratic party doesn’t attract young, hip voters so we don’t want them to learn your secrets and figure out how to get some of them!

So, good luck with that, Michael. Capital gains tax cuts never looked so groovy, baby!

Maybe Steele can play this at the next CPAC clusterfuck to get the white ... errr .... homeboys shakin’ and movin’ bumpin’ and grindin’ ... it’s what all the cool kids are doing these days, so I hear.

I hope we are treated to a reunion of Rapmaster Karl Rove and his band o’thugs including David Gregory. They were the shizit. Did I use that properly?

I think it’s shiznit, but I’ll have to check that out.

Ain’t Rick Cantor fly?

LOL, could be shizit or shiznit. All in the context I guess. (What would I do without Urban Dictionary?)

Now I have to go look up “fly”. But if it means something you swat I’d have to agree.

Somebody at Kos wrote about this in the context of the “Poochie” episode of The Simpsons—the one when “Itchy and Scratchy” introduces the skateboarding dog to make the show more “hip.”
