HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The RNC just pulled off one the most funny, sad, pathetic, desperate, pitiful and/or cynical act they possibly could.

Today, they elected, on their sixth vote--it took them 6 tries--their first ever African-American leader of their organization (the Republican National Committee).

Hearing that, you have to just bust out laughing.

Did you see this group last summer, at their national convention?

Or again, did you see the audience at Senator John McCain's concession speech, the night of the election last November?

Both groups, one very large, one large enough, were almost completely, totally lily-white.

Not only that, if a poll were taken, it would very likely be shown to be at least middle class, and a great deal of them upper middle class.

So we got an African-American from the Democratic Party as President so the Republicans threw the American public--and the world--a desperate, pathetic, political bone, way after the fact, of another African-American, in an effort to make themselves look, however ridiculously and disingenuously, like an inclusinve, multi-race party.

We all know better.

I salute the new Chairman, Michael Steele's, ability to take advantage of this situation, betray his people and exploit this opportunity so totally and utterly.

Opportunism never looked so good.
