GOP Website As Successful As GOP

“The RNC’s big relaunch of its website has not gone so well today. In the last hour or so, the site has been crashing periodically. The Obama campaign’s former online guru, Joe Rospars, tells TPMDC: ‘You know your web program is in trouble when your site can’t even handle the traffic bump from people making fun of your web program.’”

-TalkingPointMemo

It seems the GOP has redesigned their website, and, well, let's just say it's not pretty. Wonkette has been having quite a time with it, which should come as no surprise, but even fact-bots at ThinkProgress have been leveling some snark.

RNC’s New Website Reflecting Steele’s ‘Urban-Suburban Hip-Hop’ Riddled With Errors, Widely Panned


HA! ThinkProgress has never made a joke in its life! Sure, that headline isn't a joke exactly, but it makes me smile! So--joke!

I'm hesitant to search this Gop dot com virus enabler too much for fear of my computer 'sploding, but, oh, hi there lil guy. What do we have here? This lil nugget shows up in their blog roll.

Feeding the Machine is the more tech-minded blog from New Media

I assume this is the blog that posts the question, "How do you run a website/political party?" Also, "Feeding the Machine"? Come on, Gop dot com, isn't that a little...1990s-ish? And does that mean that the political party behind Gop dot com considers itself "the Machine"? Ha! Losers!

OH AND HEY LOOKS AT THIS REAL QUICK! Hahahaha, this page is fucking great. It's the "jobs" page. I'm looking for the job application for the position to "Crack Olympia Snowe on the base of the skull with a black jack," but I can't find it yet. (Not that I want to do that, but the Gop dot comers don't care for her right now!) So what does it take to get a gob at Gop dot com? Here's one section!

So, hey, all you perverts with a webcam can now sit on the Ways and Means Commission or whatever.

Oh, there's also this:

You forgot my favorite part of the launch, which is that when you clicked the "Future Leaders" link on the website, you were directed to a "404: not found" message. Priceless.

Either that or Michael Steele's blog being named What Up?

I know! There was too much to cover. Also, Wonkette had already had some fun with the "What up" Steele blog.

I can't wait until they try to fix it and it just becomes a pron site or something.
