In a stunning and wholly unforeseen development this afternoon, New York Senator Hillary Clinton announced her conversion to Christianity. While the intimate details of the provocation of her decision remain largely unreleased, such developments are certain to have a drastic impact on the 2008 presidential race, and more importantly, on Christian talk radio.
In a press conference from her home this evening, Senator Clinton answered the inevitable but nonetheless daunting question on a potential party realignment head-on saying: "I will announce my realignment to the Republican party tomorrow morning."
After being pulled aside by one of her congressional aides and having a short message whispered in her ear, the Senator returned to the podium to say: "Nevermind, I have just been informed that tomorrows announcement will no longer be necessary as I have just made it."
Providing the only details as to her reasons for the conversion and party affiliation, Clinton said simply: "After having realized the error of my previous ways, I have decided to give my life to the Pope, Jesus Christ."
After yet another short conference with her aide and subsequent apology, the Senator continued: "Having read the Good Book, 'Your Best Life Now', it has been made clear to me that God said that no true Christian can be affiliated with the Democratic Party. And I quote. God. Thank you."
While many people were undoubtedly left speechless with surprise, the real surprise came when TV show host Bill O'Reilly had nothing to say on the issue. O'Reilly's lack of comment has led to rumors of parades and a speech at the Lincoln Memorial commemorating the event.
