The PU Convention

Now live from beautiful Fewmit, North Idaho.

It's the:


Plaid Union Party Presidential Nominating Convention!

Good evening America, this is Harvey Tippleflipper with the HBC Network bringing you all the pageantry of the PU Presidential Convention.

And I'm Buzz Haberdasher. It's a beautiful day here in Fewmit as the delegate(s) arrive for the convention. Harv, what's planned for the opening ceremony?

Well Buzz, We are here at the beautifully restored Fewmit grain silo and convention center where minutes ago, the convention was officially gaveled open.



It only took three whacks to force the door. Now delegate(s) from all over the County are pouring in to watch the colorful opening ceremony before the main event - the roll call vote to nominate Don Lewis as the official PU party Presidential Candidate.

That's right Buzz. The convention stated off with the traditional faith-based demonstration. Gospel tunes were sung by the Flaming Sisters of St. Castrado. A local favorite.



No kidding Harv. When these nuns hit those high notes, it sends a shiver right through my coccyx.

As well it should Buzz. The gay music was followed by an invocation from the PU parties official chaplain, Doctor Highly Solastic.




Let's talk a bit about the convention center Harv. Security is much tighter than at previous conventions isn't it?

Too true Buzz. If you recall, during the last convention delegates were subjected to massive short-sheeting, terror-wedgies and cotton weevils. But with new check-in procedures,



and the latest in high tech security wrist bands,



the PU Party Officials believe these problems of the past can be minimized.

So Harv. What's on today's agenda?

Buzz, Originally we were going to get a Key-Note speech by the candidates' wife, Mrs. Lewis. But at the last moment, she slipped out of her security band. So The Candidate himself will be taking the podium.



Well, that's all for now. Tomorrow, we will be taking an in-depth look at the potential running mates for Candidate Lewis, prior to Friday's announcement and the roll call vote.

This has been Buzz Haberdasher and Harvey Tippleflipper for HBC at the PU Party Convention. Now back to the studio.
