2. Rushpublican Desperation...

We saw this follow the '08 election...when the GOTB thought they could negate their "black problem" by selecting Mikie Steele as their party chairman. Ya see...they have a "colored fella"...so they must be able to relate to the "homies". Problem was when Steele actually tried to reach out, he was slapped down and eventually kicked out when he no longer served the party's purposes. Now they're seeing how far behind on the Hispanic vote they've fallen so they need someone who has a Spanish sounding name and figure if he can spew the talking points in Espanol that should fix that problem. Make Mucus the "savior" of the party...the Cuban who Mexicans will fall all over themselves for (if you know anything about Hispanic culture, you know that ain't about to happen).

For decades the rushpublicans have had these "leadership school"...one of the more "popular" is the one operated by sleezemaster Morton Blackwell...they look for minorities they can mold and then trot out in front of teevee cameras or run for public office. Call it rushpublican "affirmative action"...and it hasn't worked. If anything, these antics backfire as Hispanics, just like blacks and other groups who have been patronized to, won't be fooled with the bullshit...
