How can it be an insult to our honored dead — to the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who fought — for the president of the United States to go to them, and demonstrate for all the world to see that he is one of them? . . . By putting on that flight suit, he became forever a part of the crew of the Lincoln. By riding on the Viking while it made an arrested landing, he became a brother of every naval aviator who has ever caught a tail hook.

That's a great take. I hadn't thought of that.

All I can say to Byrd is, "Dukakis in a tank", the symbol of the democrat's manhood.

I am particularly irked by the Democrats harping about the cost of President Bush visiting the USS Abraham Lincoln. When Hillary and Chelsea toured Africa and China on the taxpayer's dime without the President none of now complaining members of Congress raised any fuss about cost.

None of them also raised any fuss when Clinton visited the USS Theodore Roosevelt and sported a military issue leather flight jacket--particularly when Clinton had no military service and publically declared his loathing of the military.

There are no howls like those of hypocracy.

Punish the old Byrd man.

Hold his feet to the fire and if he hollars, don't let him go!

Somebody must believe Senator Byrd-brain has a second career as a brick-layer, they said he is a real mortar forker.
