FYI.

[Howlin]

Post that over here, will you?

[umgud]

The dems are only bitching because he looked good. My guess is this cost less than other actions that they would never think of bitching about. I'm pleased to see them in such turmoil.

[Howlin]

One for "our" side.

[Dane]

I know, I know - this is politics. GOP operatives routinely toted up the cost of Bill Clinton's trips to New York City and the man-hours lost to Manhattan gridlock in the service of Hillary's ambition

Uh, Matt you forgot Clinton holding up air traffic at LAX(Los Angeles International Airport) for two hours while he was getting a $200 haircut in Air Force One from Barbara Streisand's hair stylist.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Rep. Henry Waxman of California has asked the General Accounting Office to provide a full accounting of the landing's costs, since the event had "clear political overtones."

Ok, Congressman Waxman. If you want to start down this path, why don't we total up the costs of all those trips of King Billy Jeff I?!

Democrats, inspired perhaps by the trial lawyers who bankroll the party, are acting as if these troops are good prospects for a class-action suit.

Calling John Edwards.

LOL!

[Howlin]

We're doing just that on another thread........LOL.

[WaterDragon]

The Dimwits are pathetic! But I love the little buggers wailing in that dark corner they've backed themselves into. Wailing and whining. Music to me ears!

Thanks for the ping, Howlin!

[nopardons]

And just how much, did it cost, when X42 went on board a ship and towels, bathrobes, etc. were purloined AND the sailors did NOT even want him there ?

what's sticking in Dem craws, is that almost EVERYONE, in the entire nation, LOVED President Bush's going to the Abraham Lincoln and it showed. LOL

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Did taxpayers pay for Wellstones funeral?

A White House memo, dated June 16, 1994, concerning preparations for President Clinton's trip to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day:

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL STAFF WHO STAYED ON THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON

FROM:

ISABELLE R. TAPIA

MICHAEL R. LUFRANO

OFFICE OF SCHEDULING AND ADVANCE

RE: Reimbursement for Items Removed from the Ship

The executive officer of the USS George Washington has relayed that a number of items were removed from Staterooms on the ship during the White House visit. The following items are unaccounted for:

13 Blue Towels with GW Insignia	$11 each
4 GW Bathrobes with Insignia	$35 each
12 Plain White Bathrobes	$15 each
55 White Towels	$1.80 each

As you know, the ship and the U.S. Navy served as our gracious hosts during this trip. They provided these items for our use, not as souvenirs. They have requested reimbursement of $562 from the White House for the above items.

If you are responsible for removing one or more of these items from the ship, please remit payment to Michael Lufrano in Room 185 of the OEOB. Make any checks payable to the USS George Washington. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call either of us at 456-7560 or Capt. Rogers at 456-2150.

Fact - Clinton, in his 8 Godawful years, visited US Navy Aircraft Carriers....4 (four) times. Thats an average of once every 2 years.

We are in the third year of the Bush Presidency.....so shut up Democrats. Bush is lagging your boy, (but only in carrier visits!)>

Presidential Visits to Naval Ships

This list includes ship visits by presidents, during their terms as president, presently known to the Ships History Branch. There have undoubtedly been others; any additional information would be appreciated. Commissioned presidential yachts are included though these were not, strictly speaking, "visits to Navy ships" since these yachts were not part of the operating forces. The yacht Sequoia is listed under F.D. Roosevelt only, the only period during which she was in commission. Small craft, such as the motor boats used by a number of presidents after World War II, are not included. Individual ship histories are included in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships.

Democrats are in new territory now and they have yet to realize it. They no longer have a lock on the media and the things that used to give them traction, just leave them spinning their tires.

As for policy, class warfare is a dead issue. Sooner or later even the stupid wonder why Ted Kennedy isn't living in a 4 bedroom cape in Nantucket if taxing the rich is such great policy.

In the end, one can only conclude at least half of those in Congress do not know what makes this great republic tick.

[Howlin]

Can you paste that on this thread so it will all be together?

[WKB]

Did anybody see Leno tonight. He put up a picture of W in his flight suit
and then Byrd in his KKK suit.
It was great!
