White tiger attacks W. Va delegates. Two dead, one eaten.

For his assignment covering the convention in Boston, the Daily Show's Stephen Colbert -- not wanting to actually sit through the thing -- pre-recorded his reports ahead of the time and spent the convention partying back at his hotel room. However, he made sure he covered every contingency, taping reports on quicksand on the convention floor and an incident in which a polar bear kills scores of delegates.

He may need to do something similar in New York, and this time he may turn out to be prescient.
