Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent RNC members a special Christmas present this year. While Saltsman, who served as Mike Huckabee’s national campaign manager during his “upstart bid for the White House,” is by no means a political newby, his goofy Christmas CD says otherwise.

Dubbed over in the classic Saltsman baritone many have come to love him for, one song entitled, “Barack the Magic Negro,” stirred up a bit of controversy.

A cover of the once-popular “Puff the Magic Dragon,” Saltsman’s rendition is downright offensive for a number of reasons. While people like Conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh defend the song, others (Republicans) are blaming the media for blowing the situation out of proportion. Regardless if the song is ingenious political satire or a cheap racial epithet, Chip Saltman’s candidacy for RNC chairman doesn’t look too hot right now.
