Democrats demand probes follwing reports that President Georeg W. Bush didn't have to fly a jet aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as the White House said, but was near enough to a helicopter, and that the troops could have come home a day earlier.
'If that had been Bill Clinton,' says former [Presidential] spokesman Joe Lockhardt, the subpoeanas would have been flying, and there would be blood on the floor from Republicans fighting over who gets to investigate.'
President Bush and his aides dismissed the talk of backlash. 'I see none, says a senior offical.'

Going to have to do some research here, it looks like Bubba Xlinton actually visited more than the four carriers the five times officially listed...if the reports on the thread are accurate he also visited the Roosevelt and the Kennedy.

I've always thought of Joe Lockhart as the Lumpy Rutherford of American politics. Best observation of the day. Sounds like you should write for Dennis Miller.

Thanks for the ping. The only Clinton visit I personally remember was to the INDEPENDENCE inport Yokosuka. I was in Yoko that day but I didn't go see him. Had no real desire.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
They are right of course, and when you use a thousand

More blatant lies from idiots who think they are journalists...the ship COULD NOT HAVE COME HOME EARLY!!!!
That's not the way the Navy operates. As Doug From Upland pointed out in his excellent interview with a Navy Commander, coming home early ruins the well laid plans of the 20-25,000 friends and relatives that come to see the ship arrive.
