CONVENTION SURPRISE
By Stockton
In an era where political conventions hold few if any surprises, the Republican National Convention delegates were jarred out of their catatonic state by First Lady Laura Bush.
"It looks like she's going to endorse her husband," said an excited Raul Santiago, a delegate from Florida. "It was touch and go there for awhile, you know, given the booze and coke, but she was pretty supportive last night."
"This means a lot," said Andrea Milliken, from Michigan. "I think the entire country was waiting to hear which way Laura would go. Now we'll just have to wait and see if George accepts the nomination again. I've got my fingers crossed."
In other Convention News, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took to the podium last night to help boost the President's standing among warm-blooded mammals. Schwarzenegger was positive and upbeat as he talked about his immigrant experiences and what the United States has done for him.
"I've hat so many trials und tribulations before becoming governor," said Schwarzenegger. "It vas a long hard road. I vas zee first man to ever become pregnant, I found my long lost twin, I even had to go undercover in a kindergarten, not to mention hunting for Sarah Connor. Now I ist governor. Vhat a vunderful country."
Schwarzenegger speech emphasized the President's security credentials and Bush's firm resolve to ensure that computers do not take over the world.
Vice-President Dick Cheney is set to deliver his speech tonight at the convention. Aides say he will be closeted away for most of the day rehearsing his speech and performing blood sacrifices.
