    I think the beginning of the end was way back when the Repubs and Microsoft bragged about their "hi-tech" collaborations, guaranteeing it wouldn't work very well and would cost and arm and a leg.

    This article really doesn't reveal that when Steele's talking about a "web site", he's really referring to the Republicans dope new twitter account, twitter.com/gopfoshizzle. The wallpaper's going to be blinged out, yo!

    Are they really referring to him as 'Chairman Steele'? In the tradition of the great Mao? When is he going to publish his little red book?

    How about this: goodbye GOP. Hello GNP (Grand New Party). I think that cosmetic marketing change should solve all their problems.

    Have you ever looked at someone's profile who JUST discovered Myspace? It's always covered with surveys, animated graphics, and glittery shit galore.


    I can't wait for this new site.

    Conference call between web designers and prominent Republicans


    Michael Steele: Hey baby, how's that supa dupa fly new websicle hangin'?


    Techie: Well, we're still-


    John McCain: DOES IT TWITTER, HENNGH?


    Steele: Have you wigeted the zing frames for maximum badass-itude?


    Bobby Jindal: Hi, everybody! Ahhm Bobby Jin-dal!


    Techie: You see, the thing is…


    Steele: What about the avant-garde social networking functions for one-armed midgets, my beezies?


    Rush Limbaugh: Did someone say SOCIALIST networking?!?


    Sarah Palin: Hey there, are you pallin' around with terabytes?


    Techie: No, that's not it at all. We were thinking-


    John Boehner: Whatever it is, the answer is NO.


    Techie: There are still some bugs in the-


    Jindal: Well gee golly corncobs! The spirit of the Lord COMPELLS you OUT, foul computer demons. See, ahhm helping?


    Palin: In what respect, Bobby?


    McCain: WILL IT GET MY TROLLOP DAUGHTER TO STOP WHINING ABOUT HOW NO MAN WILL TOUCH HER, HENNGH?


    Steele: My fellow homedawgs, I'm afraid this may just not be off the hook enough to rock a house party at the drop of a hat.


    Limbaugh: GOOD, I hope it FAILS, you GAY MEXI-CUNT.


    Boehner: What would Barack Obama do the opposite of? No? The answer is no, isn't it.


    Techie: Frankly, it's been difficult to-


    Jindal: Is it them gosh-darned bureaucrats holdin' you back? Would it help if we lowered the capital gains tax?


    Steele: Oh snap, our time here is up. I'm hope this has been helpful. Let me know how soon you're ready with a website so dope it'll make us shit our brains out all over the box we're so far outside of we can't even see it, ya dig? For sheezy, word up.

    And the content is going to be exactly the same: smaller taxes, less government, fetuses are to be cynically exploited at every opportunity, and no gays!

    The most challenging design issue will be the creation of the virtual bootstraps each visitor will be required to use to pull up the site.

    45 days. HA!


    I love the gem about "ideal client will have a CMS that is already built out and ready to plug into the system, so the only programming time will be building the outward facing presence."


    Yes, RNC, I have been building your website for the last year just waiting for this RFP. Everything is ready to go. All we need to do is slap a skin on this bitch and add a Flash intro. Suck it Obama nerds!

    This simply, truly, awesomely can't be real.


    A client who wants a website in 45 days, yet will be part of the design process the entire time, ensuring specification compliance? Project management 101: FAIL.
