Thanks to Gustav, President Bush will not be at the Republican National Convention personally, but will be speaking tonight live via satellite. And the RNC’s website is really touting the president’s address.

The website says:

The 2008 Republican National Convention today announced the program of events for Tuesday, Sept. 2. The program will feature speeches by U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson. Their remarks will reflect the convention’s overall theme, “Country First,” and the theme for Tuesday’s events, which is “service.”

Then the site goes on to say:

Among the other speakers announced today are President George W. Bush (via satellite), First Lady Laura Bush, U.S. House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio), U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.), and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.).

It’s a fun night of headlining “aww shucks” politicians, followed by a discreet satellite appearance by the president of the United States, this monkey.
