I'm still amazed that the Bush-in-flight-suit photos caused such a flap. First of all, Bush had actually flown jets in the National Guard, so he wasn't just some Walter Mitty getting dressed up; secondly, the suits are probably mandatory for anyone flying in one of those planes. It's not showing-off, it's just SOP. Hence I'm not put-off by Rather also wearing a flight suit.

What really infuriated the Dems about Bush in the flight suit was that he looked like he belonged in it, it looked just right, unlike Dukakis in the tank and Kerry throwing a football.

Hi Dan, here's your parachute. It's fake, but accurate.

Whew, thanks for posting that pic.

Dubya in flight suit had women of all political persuasions swooning. Even the male talking heads looked a little warm.

I can assure Dan, he won't have to worry about millions of women doing the same for him.

If Dubya really wanted to make me happy, he'd wear that suit for his Inaugural day.

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

Well, it does give a whole new meaning to "Poopie Suit"!

"Kerry with the soccer ball. Kerry on the windsurfer. Kerry kissing his wife. Kerry breathing..."

Not to mention Kerry's convention stunt of "reporting for duty" with a military salute.

Why is this moron not in jail for effort to affect elections by using forged documents? Where is the investigation who forged the government/ military documents?
Hmmm?

Bush has been pounded for a year and a half for wearing that flight suit on the aircraft carrier,

President BUSH had the right to wear a flight suit, he was a military pilot, landing on a carrier, as Chief of the military.

Dan Rather is wearing it because even the passengers on a ferry ride (jet hop to carrier deck) are required to wear it.

Rather is not trying to pull anything (in this case), and it has none of the meaning that the wearing of it did for President Bush.

One must know what the crew and pilots on the LINCOLN went through, before they returned to port and were PRAISED by President BUSH, to understand the meaning of MISSION WELL ACCOMPLISHED (more like WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY), and why the President FLEW and LANDED on deck in a jet, when he could have comfortably ridden in a helicopter.

None of the MSM covered what happened with the LINCOLN during the freedom of Baghdad. (PBS had a special show on it, I must have been the only one watching it)

Maybe Rather decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Except that Rather will never be anything but Dukakis in a tank compared to a real Commander In Chief flying in to address the troops.
