GOP Sensitivity Training- "Successful Communication with Minorities and Women"

The Burwell family of Virginia were among the “First Families of Virginia” in the Colony of Virginia. They also happened to own several plantations — and slaves.

So naturally the GOP would host lawmakers eager to learn about “successful communication with minorities and women” in a room named for those plantations.

I wonder what the rest the agenda looks like? Probably something like this:

11:15 Opening Praying- Pat Robertson

11:20 Presentation of Confederate Colors

11:24 Recognition of Minority and Female Republicans

11:25- Roundtable discussion on reproductive rights and the media (MEN only). Rep. Todd Akin

11:55 Mexicans: They're not just for cutting your grass. Rep Steve King

12:25 Blame Obama

12:30 LUNCH

1:30 Blacks: Everything You Wanted to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask. Herman Cain.

2:00 Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature: Updating your vocabulary for the 21st century. George Allen

3:00 Closing Prayer- Jerry Fawell's rotting corpse.

And they had better be deferential and only make eye contact when spoken to.
