This sounds like a job for...
Bernard L. Madoff.
Only he can get anyone to believe they will get anything back for their money.

The only way to achieve your goal of including minorities is to stipulate a 5% workload to MBE/WBE’s.
There are no firms under you Boo Chit news release that have the size to do your project, under your pretend requirements...
Yup, a consortium of Merle’s Software and Bait, Millie’s Code Cabana, and assorted (read: diverse) small companies. That’s the ticket!
They omit "competence" as a qualification.
Me! Me! I could screw the thing up for well under $100 million!!
Wonder if you will have to use Internet Explorer to access the new sites?
Planning for failure.

An affirmative action hire.
Well isn’t that just ducky !!!!!!

It is not the website that is broken you stupid Obama people. It is the freakin law!
Turn it over to a Walking Dead of Affirmative Action hires.
Yeah, THAT’LL fix it! /SARCsarcsarcsarcsarcsarc
Jesse Jackson Jr is taking a course in programming while in prison... I think he would be perfect for the job, and is due to be released soon.
Minor glitches, I would have to up my bid to about $225 million. Flaming failure, that’s cheap!
Who’s next on the kickback list after Moo’s old college friend?
