Dan Rather will be anchoring from Indonesia and the Navy released a photo of him on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln in his flight suit.

I find this hillarious after the way the left pilloried Bush for "wearing a costume" for his landing on the....ta da!....USS Abraham Lincoln! LOL!

The Lefties...the gift that keeps on giving.

[dansangel]

ACK! My *EYES*!

[johniegrad]

Strap his a$$ to the catapult and garbage away.

[cubreporter]

He can wear all the flight suits he wants but he'll never fill the boots of GWB! Dubya's the man. Rather is pathetic. Copy cat rather.

[cubreporter]

Oh, forgot to mention too that we are swooning... NOT!

[Radix]

I wonder if his name tag says "Bed Wetter" on it!

[NorCalRepub]

that would make Dukakis look like a brilliant tank commander

[Fudd]

What's wrong with the airlines? Other than losing your luggage and keeping you on an airplane for 28 hours, that is?

[KJC1]

Disgusting picture all around, and his mouth looks like a...well, I think it's obvious.

[handy old one]

Now how does this thing work?? Is it bullet proof, and will it make the Conservative right leave me alone??

[sticker]

Dan's trying to figure out why the life vest feels like it is full of bricks and why it is attached with a locked chain

[countess]

I'm sure the sailors have been hard at work on an appropriate nickname. Poor crew.

[add925]

"So, I blow into this tube to inflate my life vest....hey wait a minute, I just landed!"

[highlander_UW]

I wonder if his name tag says "Bed Wetter" on it!

That was probably his call sign and painted on his flight helmet.

[trisham]

ACK! My *EYES*!

*************

I second that!

[tracer]

"Reporting for doodie....."

[KC_Conspirator]

"Mission Forged"

[dansangel]

I wonder if his name tag says "Bed Wetter" on it!

ROFL - Either that or, "Drooling, liberal LIAR."

[EagleUSA]

What is that lying leftist doing on board an AMERICAN MILITARY VESSEL? --- kind of like the devil strapping on angel's wings in heaven (chuckle).

Losing bast***.

[Calpernia]

WHY isn't this posted in the Smokey Backroom?!!!

YUKKK!

[apackof2]

Oh Pleeeeeeeeeese, it been done Dan and by a better man than you!

[andyandval]

What the hell is the Navy giving this goober a ride for?!

[OpusatFR]

"I puked when we took off and I think it landed here."

[Rebelbase]

Notice he doesn't have a codpiece.

[add925]

"What the hell is the Navy giving this goober a ride for?! "

Our PC tax dollars at work.

Walk the plank Danno!

[malia]

What's that expression --- sows ear, silk purse, is still a sow?

[Arpege92]

"Reporting for doodie....."

LOL

[isthisnickcool]

A few hours later as Dan is being flown around:

AIRMAN IN HELICOPTER: "Yes, Mr. Rather, you can see much better if you lean out the open door a little more. That's good, just a little more. Just a tad more...."

RATHER: AIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

[Peach]

This IS a joke, right?

[Darkwolf377]

"I'm Dan Rather and I'm reporting for doodie!"

[Charles Henrickson]

Hey, at least he isn't wearing pajamas! :-)

[add925]

[E Rocc]

Did he personally criticize Bush for wearing the flightsuit? I don't recall. IIRC, it's mandatory when riding in a combat aircraft, and both the S-3 Viking (that Bush flew in) and the H-60 Blackhawk (in the background), qualify?

If he personally commented this is TFF.

[Charles Henrickson]

Dan's "Dukakis-in-a-tank" moment.

[hiredhand]

Ah...ya seen one wannabe in a flight suit, ya seen em all. But the CINC in a flight suit IS the CHIEF!

...seriously though...what's with Rather's "get up"?

I do believe that his being there constitutes FOD hazard, and he should therefore be picked up on the next FOD walk and tossed overboard. :-)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He couldn't carry W's jock strap.

[massgopguy]

That Flight Suit is fake but accurate.

[dansangel]

sows ear, silk purse, is still a sow?

Close enough. :-)

I need to cleanse my eyes:

*Much* better!

[Timeout]

Hey, at least he isn't wearing pajamas! :-)

Oh, just wait. If he ever thinks it will help his PR image....

Come to think of it, wouldn't it be a HOOT if he showed up on his last night in pj's and bunny slippers! It would be hisTORical!

[Timeout]

It's real, Jim.

[gakrak]

LOL! The Lefties...the gift that keeps on giving.
God I love that line. Can I use it in the future?
Great post.

[Peach]

Get OUT!

Holy moly. When is this little event going to happen? We have to have a party.

[DTogo]

"Sorry Captain, his flight suit got tangled in the netting of a relief package and Mr. Rather went out the Helicopter with it at 5,000 ft." ;)

[Peach]

Oops. Just went back to read it and the photo has already been taken it sounds like.

The left are a gift that just keeps on giving.

[Howlin]

Now, this is going TOO far to appear "fair and unbalanced"........OMG, I may die laughing.

[Timeout]

Use away!

Rush always said the Left is funniest when they're out of power....so true.

[N. Theknow]

I wonder if his name tag says "Bed Wetter" on it!

More like REMF.

Chair-warming SOB!

[Peach]

I am HYSTERICAL! My stomach hurts.

My husband came home from golf and told me he could hear me laughing from the GARAGE!
