Extreme Makeover, GOP Edition

After the drubbing the Republicans took in November, particularly by black and Latino voters, it's obvious they need to do something to increase the diversity of their party (did you see the monochromatic RNC convention?), but I didn't expect it to be this funny:

Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party's principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.

Does this mean that we can expect to see GOP leaders like John McCain and Jim Boehner pumping Lil' Wayne in their tricked out golf carts? I sure hope so.
