Fly Boy ?????

Bush 41 is not the albatross that many think. The media tell you that
he lost the election (a close one) because of a recession and a war
that turned out badly (in that Saddam remained in power). What they do
not tell you is that Ross Perot got 15 percent of the popular vote.
Where would those votes have gone if Perot had not been in the race?
And do you see a Perot on the horizon today?

The Democratic Primary is a quagmire.

I rather doubt Bush 41 was the youngest USN pilot of WWII, though he
was certainly just a boy. No doubt there were many young men who lied
about their ages and who became pilots.

A lucky fellow, either way.

Gosh, I don't know.

Lessee. He became ambassador to China, head of the Central
Intelligence Agency, president of the United States ...

No, nothing in there would explain why anyone would be more interested
in him than in, say, Art Kramer.

I didn't realize that Bush 41 came so close to being eaten!

He also never met Monica Lewinsky!

He was one short swim away from an island that was populated by soldiers led by
officers that felt eating the liver of an enemy was beneficial to their health.
That belief didn't explain eating other body parts, notably the thigh meat,
but the bottom line is that Bush paddled out - the other airmen paddled in, not
knowing that their choice was fatal.

Bush escaped death and so did Kennedy. But you don't win wars that way. You win
wars by attacking the enemy and burning his black heart out leaving his nation
a smoking burning ruin. Screw the "heroics" of the politicians. I'd rather hear
the stories of the men who got the job done, many who never came home. The
exploits of both Bush and Kennedy are weak tea when compared to better men who
helped destroy the enemy, many who now lie in foreign graves..My friends among
them.
