Days after McDonald's announced they would pay rappers for mentioning Big Macs, the GOP revealed their own efforts to promote the conservative agenda through rap lyrics.
RNC Chair Ken Mehlman said their most successful partnership thus far is with the rapper Cam'ron, who agreed to promote traditional family values by popularizing the GOP-conceived slogan "no homo."
According to Mehlman, "Cam'ron receives $5 whenever the phrase is heard on TV or radio, and in what has proved the most lucrative part of the deal, he gets $1 every time "no homo" appears in an internet weblog."
Without revealing details, the RNC chair confirmed that further alliances are in the works. "When we tried similar deals with certain reporters and columnists, that pesky 'journalistic integrity' thing kept getting in the way. But integrity is clearly not an issue with these rappers, and we plan to take full advantage of that."
In related news, disgraced columnist Armstrong Williams now hopes to pursue a rap career, and has signed with Koch Entertainment to release his debut album entitled "Licensed to Shill."
