Republican Party to change image by translating it "urban-suburban hip-hop settings"

[CptStern]

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says his party is going to launch an "off the hook" public relations campaign that will update the GOP?s image by translating it to "urban-suburban hip-hop settings."

?We need messengers to really capture that region ? young, Hispanic, black, a cross section?? he said in an interview published Thursday. ?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.?

He added, jokingly, that ?we need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.?

hahahhahahahahahahahahaha. how can this possibly fail?

Steele described the new multi-platform PR offensive as ?avant-garde, technically. It will come to [the] table with things that will surprise everyone ? off the hook.? Asked whether that meant cutting-edge tactics, Steele demurred. ?I don't do 'cutting-edge,?? he said. ?That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge.?

Yo dawg, I heard you hate the shit we talk, so we put hip-hop speak in our policies so you can hate us while you hate us.

Government trying to be hip is like me trying for a football team. It just doesn't work.
