The whole WRONG WAY CORRIGAN use us completely wrong; not to mention specious and I bet that you had to go GOOGLE, to find out all about that story....not I!
My grandmother would often tell in real history, when I asked for a story, as a bitty child. She was alive when Corrigan made his famous flight and told me all about; in detail. It's a great adventure story and what you've left out, is that everyone KNEW what he was doing, when he filed the false flight plan. But they couldn't stop him, because every I was dotted and every T crossed. Neither was he "punished", in any way; but rather, he was a HERO and hailed as such.
If you want to stick with your specious analogy, then okay, I'll play along, for the nonce. Rudy WILL win the nomination, he WILL win the presidency, and some of the very people here, who are berating and vilifying him and his supporters WILL change their tune once he is president and claim that he IS not only a HERO, but that they have always been a supporter of his.
Oh yeah, I know the story...You and the Rudytards have got your flight plan filed. You want to put a "conservative" (wink, wink) in the White House. But everyone KNOWS what you're really doing.
To: nopardonsJust wrong way. Nothing conservative about them.

Google is our friend...if you were to Google Corrigan you would discover that he was "punished"...his plane was dismantled and he lost his pilot license.
