Default Glider Pilot Running for US President

I just checked the FAA databases, and it shows that John Kerry has, among
other ratings, a Gilder Aerotow Only rating.

I'm not voting for him unless he gets his ground launch restriction removed.

Very true as I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Kerry out at Estrella one
fine day in April several years ago. Not fond of his politics but he
thermals well which counts for somthing.

Is that because he is used to being around a lot of hot air?

His opponent, W, was never much of a pilot, but reportedly did know how to get high.

W's opponent is a war hero, but he can't remember where he put all the medals
he was awarded. I remember, do you?

No need to be cute. He was a rich-kid chicken**** who hid in the Texas Air
Guard, not a fighter pilot.
