Putting the Undecideds in a Headlock

"The WWE is nonpartisan. I am not."

Pro wrestler John Bradshaw Layfield just endorsed Bush at the convention. Why does he love Bush: No Child Left Behind. I kid you not.

OK, so he was introducing Education Secretary Rod Paige, and probably had to say education, as opposed to Bush's kickass sleeper hold. Still, the image of a professional wrestler talking about the importance of education is perfect. Whoever's running this convention has a Vulpine sense of irony, and I love it!

George Prescott Bush, who followed Paige, is pretty lousy, however. Just made a lame joke about how his uncle is working so that in 50 years you won't be more likely to see a UFO than a Social Security check. It's morning of day 3, and we already have a winner for biggest non-sequitur of the convention. I suppose the Bush mojo hasn't passed on to the fourth generation. Or maybe it's just the lingering effects of that Anglican wedding.
