Someone please tell me that Michael Steele’s “blog” on the newly redesigned GOP website isn’t really named “What Up?”

And even worse, the new website violates one of the cardinal rules of web design: web pages should never make sound without the visitor’s consent. The GOP home page has a little Javascript-animated Michael Steele who comes walking out and starts talking, like one of those incredibly annoying advertisements you see on cheesy websites.

It’s the political party with a website that’s not safe for work.

UPDATE at 10/13/09 10:38:52 am:

And at this time, the entire website is offline.
