Clueless? Too nice a word

CNN.com has an article by Rebecca Sinderbrand about the controversial CD issued by a party chairman candidate:

Republican Party reaction is divided over the decision of a candidate for party chairman to distribute a CD that features the parody tune Barack the Magic Negro, with the majority of Chip Saltsman's political rivals criticizing the move. Saltsman, a former chair of the Tennessee Republican Party, was a top adviser to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and managed former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign.
The song, set to the tune of the 1960s folk song Puff the Magic Dragon, was first played on Rush Limbaugh's radio show in 2007. Its title was drawn from a Los Angeles Times column that suggested Obama appealed to those who feel guilty about the nation's history of mistreatment of African-Americans.

Rico says lessee, the guy was an advisor to Frist and managed Huckabee's campaign... And anybody's surprised by his taste in music? But the GOP's gonna have to back away from this one real fast if they hope to survive as a viable political party.
