But Who Will Teach the Republican Delegates How to Dance?

POSTED BY: Eric March

Looking out on the RNC delegate assembly, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing.

Hm. Portly beflagged gentleman and elephant hat lady — check.

Politically incorrect symbols of past national disgraces worn defiantly — check

Oh, that's right.

Only 36 of the 2,380 delegates seated on the convention floor are black, the lowest number since the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began tracking diversity at political conventions 40 years ago. Each night, the overwhelmingly white audience watches a series of white politicians step to the lectern — a visual reminder that no black Republican has served as a governor, U.S. senator or U.S. House member in the past six years.

No black people at the RNC? I guess, to be fair, it's hard to fit being proud of America into your schedule when you're running around all day doing secret Muslim stuff.

"It's hard to look around and not get frustrated," said Michael S. Steele, a black Republican and former lieutenant governor of Maryland. "You almost have to think, 'Wait. How did it come to this?'"

  2. Jon Stewart is NOT funny at all… if he wants jokes for his one sided communist show he should just look in the mirror. He will see the biggest joke on television.

    As for Colbert… funny, you just have your head up your ass. Liberalism is a mental disorder. If Democrats had brains they'd be republican.

  4. Honestly, though, from the clips the DS showed, the democrat delegates weren't very good dancers, either.

    And we all know Obama dances like Rick Astly

  5. Dancing is verbotten at the RNC, leads to sexual promiscuity & teen pregnancy.
