"Michael Steele, you be da man!" That was Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) dishing out mad props to RNC chairman Michael Steele at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) meeting this weekend.

Steele calls for the GOP to go "hip-hop" and "off the hook," and Bachmann, who is exquisitely, painfully vacant in the head, delivers in a big way.

The new GOP is having a hard time with the image thing. Steele says he wants to wheel out the hip-hop makeover, then Bobby Jindal goes for the Gomer Pyle, and now Bachmann seems on the verge of doing the robot. This is totally awesome. But how do they top all this? Newt Gingrich shows up in drag with Rudy Giuliani to lay down rhymes about 9/11?

One hopes they don't come to their senses.
