This left the Kerry/Edwards campaign as the primary suspects, and we were
not to be disappointed.

As soon as we were inside the FBO, the Kerry/Edwards "Real Deal" Boeing 727
plane rolled in. John Edwards was making an appearance in Des Moines, and
we were lucky to get in when we did -- cuz the ramp was slammed shut, tight
as a drum, as soon as he arrived.

anywhere near him.


hmmm. you found the nicest words ...

If this is what we have to look forward to under a
Kerry/Edwards presidency, I fear the worst is yet to come.


what happens with the current administration?
what have you wished? a TFR for Edwards?
in 'days like these' this was the best that could happen to you as a pilot.

As we climbed out I laughingly told my kids that this was "your tax-dollars
at work." I then closed my eyes and wished fervently that 9/11 had never
happened...

I think that this also happened before 9/11.
