Am I having memory problems or did the Toon actually go visit a carrier himself?

[RockBassCreek]

Ridiculous comments.

Clinton did visit the troops in Kosovo, I think. Same difference. One visit the Army and the other the Navy.

DemRats are idiots.

[mewzilla]

Gee, note who the author is....

[The Other Harry]

You're on this.

I really hope the Dem's keep this issue alive. They have no idea what they're doing to themselves.

President Bush and his aides dismissed the talk of backlash.

There'll be backlash alright--against the dems. When are these idiots going to get a clue?

[HiJinx]

Nah, your memory is fine, he went to a carrier at least once and maybe more.

But I believe it was while the ship was in port, so technically, it was only shore duty!

[jnarcus]

Clinton and his cronies stole The USS Roosevelt blind---they looted as much as they could from the ships store ( bath robes and other memorabilia)....Actually I much preferred watching W in his jump suit to listening to the explanation os Clinton as to why he needed a $200 haircut on the tarmac of LAX early in his so called presidency

I've always thought of Joe Lockhart as the Lumpy Rutherford of American politics.

Not only did they visit the USS George Washington, he and his staff stayed overnight and CLEANED OUT the staterooms of "souveniers" like bathrobes, towels, etc.

There is a White House memo floating around telling those who took stuff to send a check to the GW to reimburse them for the stuff they took.

[AppyPappy]

That bug-eyed mongloloid doesn't even remember that Clinton DID visit a carrier.

[facedown]

President Bill Clinton is piped aboard as he goes through the sideboys on the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV 62) at her homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, on Wednesday, April 17, 1996. The President took time out from his state visit to Japan to meet with the crew of the carrier and to thank them for their role in representing U.S. interests during their deployment off the coast of Taiwan.

[Fzob]

It's nice to see that Joe Lockhardt is still stupid as a rock. Some things never change.

[No Truce With Kings]

Ah . . . it all becomes clear . . . the Impeachment wasn't about Monica -- or perjury -- or corruption . . . it was because Slick visited the George Washington during his trip to the Normandy beaches!

[TomGuy]

So, Joe, are you inferring that Clinton had his photo-ops, not on real ships, but on some movie stage? huh huh huh?

[Grando Calrissian]

Exactly why did John Glenn need to go into space a few years ago?

[Michael.SF.]

From Neal Boortz:

President Bill Clinton on the USS Roosevelt

Now what was that you guys were saying? A President should not use the military for a photo op?

[b4its2late]

Joe Lockfarts talking out of is @ss again?

FYI...William J. Clinton (1992-2001)

Carrier Carl Vinson (1993; 1995)
Carrier George Washington (1994)
Carrier Independence (1996)
Carrier Harry S. Truman (1998)

Here’s a small Clinton ‘military compilation of various threads on the FR forum

Dems Attack Bush's Use of Aircraft Carrier for Speech

Naaaaaaaaah, the Dem's wouldn't do that.

Presidential visits to Navy ships

President Clinton piped aboard the USS Independence, April 17, 1996.

"On the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) questioned "the motives of a desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes of a speech."

I guess that nobody remembers when Bill Clinton wanted to have a "photo op" with the Navy at Vietnam where the American flag was to fly lower than the Vietnam flag?

AUGUST 23 2000: American flag dips to Vietnam, China? Naval officers claim Clinton to change regulation to placate totalitarian regimes

AUGUST 25 2000: Navy deniesflag allegations Says Clinton won't changeregulations to placate communists

SEPTEMBER 18 2000: Clinton finally makes it to Nam?

OCTOBER 15 2000: Navy flag-lowering plan confirmed CINCPACFLT officer: 'There was a proposal to change the regulations'

OCTOBER 16 2000: Flag flap follow up

DECEMBER 18 2000: Justice confirms Navy flag flap Islands' top judge corroborates high-level talks to placate communists

DECEMBER 18 2000: Flag-flap vindication

So, Bush has a photo op on an American carrier where he evokes pride in our accomplishments and the Democrats cry fould, yet Clinton attempted to stage a Navy photo op where he diminishes the Navy and makes them subordinate to a dictatorial regime.

-PJ

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of D-Day aboard the U.S.S. George Washington off the coast of Normandy, France, June 6.

No photo ops there!

[Paraclete]

The more apt analogy would be for Clinton to visit a strip club and make a major policy speech. That would be totally expected and in character, just as Bush's foray to the Lincoln.

[monocle]

I seem to recall that incident and if I remember correctly there were stories that a number of items, such as towels, hats,etc., were missing.
