— George H.W. Bush is going to celebrate his 85th birthday Friday in style. Bush Sr., is a veteran skydiver has made some tough jumps especially as a 20-year-old Navy pilot in World War II when he was shot down over the Pacific. But the sky dive he will make on his birthday should be a lot more fun with Headline News anchor Robin Meade strapped to him for a tandem jump. I guess this will be George’s ‘Private Stimulus Package.’ In return Meade will get to interview Bush Sr. before they make the jump.
“It is both a thrill and an honor,” Meade said in a release. “Anchoring four hours of live television is an adrenaline rush most days, but this tandem jump with President Bush will be a new level of excitement, I’m sure.”
And George’s wife probably won’t be too jealous as the cast of playhouse production of “A Chorus Line” were invited to the Bushes’ private vacation home in Maine yesterday to celebrate Barbara’s 84th birthday.
And if the chute don’t open it will be one helluva way to go, talk about making two into one and its not even adultery. I guess George Sr. has really thought this out well.
41, sir, you sly dog you. Well played, Mr. President. Well played indeed.

lol!
I’d hit it!
I wouldn’t jump out of a plane regardless of who I was tied to.
No reason Robin can't absorb most of the (very minimal) impact. Jumping a civilian 'chute is about like stepping off a 3 or 4 foot tall platform. I think Robin can handle 'em both.
We slid to a stop on the grass....Was akin to sliding into second base.
Easy!! And loads of fun..!!
Planning on going again....but by myself this time.
