Republican Superstars

TPM got a copy of a very special invitation that proves the Republicans are all about racial reconciliation:
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has a party fundraising event coming up in August that is scheduled to feature a very special guest: Conservative media activist Andrew Breitbart, according to a copy of the invitation exclusively obtained by TPM.
The fundraising event, billed as an “Election Countdown,” will take place from August 12-14 in Beverly Hills, California, and will also feature other politicians such as California Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, and Nevada Republican gubernatorial nominee Brian Sandoval. Steele and Breitbart are scheduled to co-headline a welcome reception on the first evening, August 12.
I find it hard to believe any political party ever would have wanted this malignant nutcase to headline a GOP confab and fundraiser, but it’s slightly surprising to see they haven’t canceled it since his latest antics. They probably figure having Steele there to vouch for him will wipe the racist sheen from his reputation, but it’s far too late for that.
It’s at 6pm pm the 12th at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
