Republicans Pare Down Convention Agenda To McCain’s POW Experience
(9/1/08 Live From the Floor*)
In an attempt to get out the central idea that convention goers, right wing radio hosts and Fox News will be able to comfortably digest and regurgitate, convention officials have announced that they will limit all speeches to 3 minutes and only pertaining to the 5½ years Republican Presidential nominee, John McCain, spent in a North Vietnamese prisoner of war camp.
“With Gustav fast approaching we had to make some quick decisions as to what we could fit in and still stay on message,” said Republican National Committee Chairman, Mike Duncan. “As a consequence we felt it was important to schedule only those speeches that bolster John’s tortured resume.”
“Former Senator Phil Gramm will speak of the economic burden his POW ordeal placed on McCain and his future wife,” said Duncan. “Senator Lieberman will say kaddish for those POW’s who did not return and Governor Palin will speak of her agonizing pre-school reaction upon learning of John’s capture.”
“Clearly, we will take any attack on our convention as an attack on John’s war time captivity,” added Duncan.
