Wow. He looks a lot like Steve McQueen. Totally awesome! The Rats gotta be hurtin' BIG TIME. BLAH-HA-HA!!!

[Incorrigible]

OK.  I can't resist.

For mutual disgust, I present the following from CNN:

 

Beelzebub and Her Heinous aboard the USS Independence in 1996	"Ga Haw - I loathe you all."
Her Heinous - Her good side?	"We had to get dressed up for this guy?"

[Poohbah]

Remember, G.W. was an F-16 driver in the Air National Guard.

They didn't HAVE F-16s back then. He flew the F-102 Delta Dagger.
