Last week, Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, in an interview with the "Washington Times," said he was planning an "off the hook" public relations offensive for the RNC.

"We need messengers to really capture that region -- young, Hispanic, black, a cross section ... 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."

Steele also referred to the stimulus package as just "bling bling."

Colbert has latched on to this hip-hopification of the GOP and challenged Mr. Steele to a freestyle rap debate about core conservative values.

I used to think that Ward Connerly was the most embarrassing black Republican, but Steele makes Connerly look like Al Sharpton. I cannot believe Steele's ignorant use of language.

I just realized that Michael Steele is channeling a movie, Bullworth. He should rent it and watch it. It would point out a few problems in applying the concept to the GOP.

Oh, please, get the mentioned Senators and Representatives in pants hanging down their butts with 'da look!!

Maybe rap would be easier for them to pick up than we realize. They can't get a thought across with so-called normal language..­.this could actually help them. -:)

Is it me, or is Steel make him self out to be a stereotypical character that sets African Americans back sixty years. Do you see any other congressional leaders using the words bling bling. Why doesn't he top it off with some soft shoeing.

Steven's got it's,
the bling,
Shinning down on Shine,
like sick sun on steel
cooking Republican gem's
upon the grill.
