Think Philadelphia
Think Mayor Goode

Think again before you burn down a neighborhood to rid it of the cockroaches.
Found a link. My memory of this was a bit off. President Bush did not have the training hours needed on the F-102 plane:

Retired Colonel: Bush Volunteered for Vietnam
A retired National Guard officer now living in East Tennessee is weighing into the debate over President Bush's service record.
Volunteer TV's Eric Waddell says the man who swore then-Lieutenant George Bush into the Air National Guard, is rising to the President's defense from his Blount County home.
Retired Colonel Ed Morrisey served in the Air National Guard and is familiar with the President's record since the beginning of his service.
Opposite a portrayal of a soldier not performing his duty he describes a flyer, near the top of his class.
Retired Colonel Morrisey has trained, developed and commanded lots of soldiers over a distinguished career.
He also swore in one very notable officer.
"George W. went to pilot training, seated well, being selected to be a fighter pilot, which is at the top of the line in the Air Force selection process. Came back to train in the F-102 at Ellington. He stood alert like anyone else," says Colonel Morrisey.
According to Morrisey, then-Lieutenant Bush more than fulfilled his guard requirements.
Morrisey says in the six years the President served he never failed to meet participation point requirements.
"Bush averaged 176 per year. In no year did he have less that 50," says Morrisey. "He was rated by his commander, Col. Maurice Udell in the top 5 of his pilots."
One of the criticisms leveled at the President is that he sought guard service to keep him from serving in Vietnam.
Morrisey says, "not so."
"The Air Force, in their ultimate wisdom, assembled a group of 102's and took them to Southeast Asia. Bush volunteered to go. But he needed to have 500 [flight] hours, but he only had just over 300 hours so he wasn't eligible to go,” Morrisey recalls.
Despite that, Lieutenant Bush stayed busy.
"He flew in active air defense missions, training missions. Day, night, regardless of inclement weather," Morrisey says.
Colonel Morrisey assured us that to the best of his knowledge Lieutenant Bush was treated like any other officer in the Texas Air National Guard.
Morrisey says he considers himself to be more of a Libertarian than Republican or Democrat. Nonetheless, Morrisey says he is voting for George Bush come election day.
YOu SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in tears!!
If it weren't for such high taxes, the government would not have needed to help build it in the first place. THe owners would have the money to do it themself.
Must be rough to be brought up by pathological liars.

Seriously, do you think if she were not Bill's offspring he wouldn't have gone after her himself?
I remember Gary Aldrich's book, "Unlimited Access", in which he detailed Chelsea's rudeness to her Secret Service agents. She openly referred to them as "pigs". When someone (I think it was Aldrich) politely pointed out to her that the agents would take a bullet for her if necessary, and that it might be a good idea to be polite to them, she replied that her parents always called them pigs. Charming young lady.
Can anyone tell me what Rush was talking about when he said he was writing his answer and putting it someplace so if it pans out he can prove he said it before it happens to come out?
I missed the beginning. :-(

Makes no difference to Bill...I hear folks from Arkansas like to "keep it in the family".
Rush was talking about a 61-year-old man who broke a voting machine Ohio. It's unclear what caused the man to become upset. Rush was going to write why he thought the man got upset.
Not sure. The nose does look like Vince Fosters, but I think those jowels and mouth look like Webbster Hubble's
