GW BUSH... THE RIGHT STUFF!

[...]Oh, and CNN was still using the graphic that the president had been provided with an air-sickness bag.

Oh, fer cripes sakes. ;-P He used to fly a fighter jet...

That picture says it all!

[Cordova Belle]

Think I will! ;-)

"Thank you, Red Zone.
Thank you, fly-over country.
Thank you, military ballots.
Thank you, Supreme Court.
Thank you, God."

V is for VICTORY!!!

I heard all guys/gals in the colored shirts referred to as, "Skittles"! :)

Thats a new one for me, I was last on a flight deck a looong time ago.

Imagine it could have been Gore....and we sure wouldn't be watching this today!

Had it been Gore, it would have been a photo op with Gore having lunch with Sodam Insane.

the MSNBC cam stopped; additionally, we're having lightning storms here in central New York....the power in the whole building went out for a minute.....a power cable must have gotten zapped.

Saved up, no doubt, from the eight loooonnnnggg years of the Clintons!!! I could have used a FEW OF THOSE during those years.

[gramho12]

.....Did he take the stick during the flight?

This is not Clinton! (sorry, couldn't resist)

[JFC]

I think it is a BIASED LEFT WING CONSPIRACY

Hey, Lair,

thanx for the live thread. I was lucky enough to walk in just in time to see the landing.

How great was that?

The whole event has been spectacular, and I must say, the President looks fantastic, young, energetic and handsome.

[BlueHorseShoe]

The last two presidents could not be further apart, could they? Oh, man, it has to be killin' Squirt Boy somewhere deep down inside to see how he squandered a life's opportunity that only a handful of people ever dream of accomplishing.

[nicmarlo]

then their timing was WAY OFF! I got to see GW land....and shake hands with the troops, for about 40 minutes! : )
