THE NEW GRAND OLD PARTY?

I can't be the only one who hears Michael Steele promising to give the "Grand Old Party" -- it's literally called that -- an "off the hook" makeover to help it better compete in "urban-suburban hip-hop settings" and immediately imagines Michael Steele, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, and Newt Gingrich filming the "Wasssssssssup" commercial, can I?

"Hello?"

"Yo Boner."

"Steel man!"

"Wussup?"

"Nothing. Just voting no on economic recovery and cutting some taxes."

"True."
