Me too! Dammit, I'm gonna spend all of 2009 being shocked and appalled.
When the MSM questioned him about Paul Shanklin's music, he merely should have said "no comment, this is not a RNC product" and left it at that.
Apparently, one of the gift recipients didn't like the Shanklin album and leaked the story about the Salsman gift to the MSM. Whoever did the leaking should be forced out together with Duncan.
The 2008 (and 2006) election was a wake-up call for the Republicans to stop trying to out-pander the Dems. That's where they went wrong, and this clown Duncan seems to have no clue, and seems to think we need to just pander more and pander harder. Until they party gets back to appealing to all potential voters on the same basis, it'll continue to have damaging internal fights and continue to lose elections.
As long as we hear talk of appealing to groups, and bringing in new categories of people, we'll know the party is becoming even weaker instead of stronger.
Uh, Mr. Chairman...can we parody “Chocolate City” by Parliament instead? Or maybe “Jigga What Jigga Who” by Jay-Z? Or how about...well, just about anything by Eazy-E and/or NWA? Because I’m all about the community outreach.
We need a second one....
Another RINO that just doesn’t get it. And now it is time for him to go and make way for someone interested in our country and not just making nice.
“The chairman of the Republican National Committee said he was “appalled” by a song called “Barack the Magic Negro” on a CD distributed by one of his political rivals.”
How old is this child???
This guy is an example of why the Republican party is such a failure today. Reach out? I think I want to barf. The sooner we get rid of these RINO creeps the better.
Did the moron end his statement with, “See how politically correct I am?”
RNC Chairman Mike Duncan
How fortunate for the severely shocked and appalled Mr. Duncan that he didn’t injure himself rushing to media outlets to get out his statement about how shocked and appalled he is at these hilarious parodies of the appallingly hypocritical antics of folks in the political limelight.
Somehow I doubt he’ll grasp the irony of his action considering all the truly appalling things happening in politics these days.
Oh yeah, Mike Duncan.
Sarah Palin, if she chooses to run in 2012, should seriously run as an Independent or on the Constitution Party. If she runs in the GOP primaries, all that's going to happen is Dems are going to cross-over and once again nominate the weakest Republican. I sadly predict that the GOP is going to get behind Romney, Huckabee, or Giuliani and kick people like Palin, Rounds, or Sanford to the curb.
this is the first time I have heard about this
but the comment from Rush about look to Clinton Inc instead of him if there is a need for more secret service...well..

true ‘dat
I wish we could end the RINO infestation of our party.
” Also Saturday, Peter Yarrow, who co-wrote “Puff the Magic Dragon,” called Saltsman’s decision to distribute the parody tune “offensive,” and “shocking and saddening in the extreme.”
“It is almost unimaginable to me,” Yarrow wrote in a statement sent to CNN, that Saltsman “would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree.”
Yarrow, a member of the 1960s folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, was a contributor to Obama’s presidential campaign.”
Peter Yarrow, is John Kerry’s longtime friend and godfather to one of Kerry’s daughters.
Yarrow is also a convicted child molester.
Who was pardoned by Jimmy Carter.
But, he’s the good guy and Shanklin and Saltsman are the evil ones.
