The GOP's brand-spanking-new website calls Jackie Robinson a "GOP Hero." That's true! Also true: baseball's first black player said the 1964 Republican convention gave him an "understanding of how it must have felt to be a Jew in Hitler's Germany."
You really must check out the brand-new GOP.com, which was unveiled today. It doesn't work, of course. (It's actually called "GOP beta," which is a rich metaphorical truth.) But if you keep clicking "reload," and if you're lucky, you'll actually bring up the page and be shocked to find a tiny, adorable little Michael Steele walking across your screen and addressing you directly, in the fashion of a Princess Leia hologram, to beg for "Republican coders" to help make the site actually work, which it doesn't.
