Celebrating Diversity Through Lazy, Half-Assed Copywriting

From the Republican National Convention website:

President Bush has appointed one of the most diverse cabinets in the history of America.

His cabinet includes several firsts, including the appointments of Colin Powell, the first African-American Secretary of State; Condoleezza Rice, the first African-American woman to serve as National Security Advisory Advisor; Elaine Chao, the first Chinese American to serve as Secretary of Labor; and Gale Norton, the first woman to serve as Secretary of the Interior.

Also holding key cabinet posts are: HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson (former HUD Secretary Mel Martinez); Secretary of Education Rod Paige; Secretary of Transportation Norm Mineta; and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.

President Bush has appointed a number of minorities to high-level positions throughout his administration including SBA Administrator Hector Barreto; GSA Administrator Steve Perry; Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona; NIH Director Dr. Elias Zerhouni; White House Counsel Judge Alberto Gonzales; Roger Ferguson, Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve; Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission; Kay James, Director of the Office of Personnel Management; and Steve Perry, Administrator of General Services (GSA).

Did we mention Steve "General Services Administration Administrator" Perry? How about Advising National Security Advisor of the Advisory NSA Advisors, Condoleezza Rice?

And what white-bread genius wrote this gibberish:

Unlike the Democrat's [sic] quota system, the Republican Party's open process has garnered a percentage increase 4 times greater than the percentage increase of minorities at the Democrat Convention since 2000.

In comparison, the well documented Democrat Party quota system and slight increase in minority representation at the 2004 Democrat National Convention (as compared to 2000) also illustrates that minorities are connecting with the Republican Party.

If those paragraphs don't shake Bush's belief that every child can learn, I don't know what will.
