Navy One heading to museum

It's the first time a sitting President made a carrier trap. And the first time a USN aircraft had the call sign "Navy 1". Air Force One you know about, and Marine One is the President's helo, hence the Navy One for that S-3.

One of Ike's Army 1's lives at Ft Rucker, too

Bush's eight month drop from that Guard was indeed NOT unusual. What was unusual was his twenty-two month blow-off when he split for Alabama to "help on a re-election campaign". He was ordered to report to an Alabama Guard unit while there and didn't bother. The all-American Action Hero was AWOL. Didn't even get his hand slapped. How odd, to use your words. Politicians and sons of politicians, don't you just love them? Don't they just suck?

I keep hearing that story but I have yet to see any actual ecidence of it. It seems more of an urban legend than fact.

has anyone ever wondered why people consistently vote people into positions of power who they normally wouldn't even allow into their own homes?

If sense is so common, why do so few people have it?

Who said that the only people who would run for public office are, by definition, unfit for it.... (I'm probably paraphrasing wildly)

Sounds like Will Rogers or Mark Twain might have said it... I really can't recall.

Interesting. I wouldn't vote for Bush for the same reasons but them I'm a Texan. The alternative? Damn tough call. Can't remember when we had two sorrier choices for any public office.

Just my opinion.

You can go to urban legends and check it out. Try a google search.

Mostly what I find is the ramblings of left wing nuts. You would think if there was hard evidence someone could produce it. Or aren't the lefties that smart?

I don't know. It would seem to be up to the indiviuals making the accusation to provide some hard evidence. Not just empty finger pointing. That seems to be the big problem with wing nuts on either side. Conspiracies where there are none.

Damn. Bush did that too?

Don't forget Hillary's book...unless you think she's just riding the hype to rake in some cash...

"Smart" would entail avoiding logical fallacies like the ad hominem commentary you've offered.

If you want to refute the evidence presented on those pages, then maybe you should do that. What does the political stripe of the author have anything to do with anything?

Maybe I just don't get the whole 'Cult of President' thing.

That's okay. We Americans don't get the 'Cult of Royalty' thing.... ;)

Not to mention the "Cult of Mass Murders)" which dominate many parts of the world. :-(

Typical reactionary blowtrap. If you can't find something substantive to say regarding allegations about Bush, bringing in a straw dog like Clinton and taking shots at him impresses nobody (except perhaps typical reactionaries.) I don't really care a whit about Clinton--he's made is place in history, and it's not all that attractive. Nor do I really care whether Bush ducked part of his Guard service--many fine upstanding patriots voted for him with full knowledge of that, and if the issue didn't bother them, why should it bother anyone? At worst, it's indicative of a certain crass immaturity that afflicts a lot of young people. I was crass and immature at one time; the issue is whether we grow away from that kind of behavior, whether it's blowing weed in Nam or buying ooze while underage or drag racing on city streets. Jesus Christ has yet to run for president, and I bet you he wouldn't get all that many votes if he did, cause 3/4 of the electorate wouldn't even know what they had.

I'm sorry if I interjected a rational argument on your behalf--most likely you would have done so if you were so inclined in the first place.
