Clearly, the democRATs are complaining because Bush just looks better than any of them.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has issued this statement, "Considering the expense to the American taxpayer

Gee, I don't recall Terry criticizing Clinton for his massively expensive overseas travels complete with an entourage of hundreds and Hillary's personal mobile throne/toilet...

Wa-a-a-a-a-it a minute!.....that's a Leahy bobble-head doll in front of a model airplane!

What is an F-16 doing on a flight deck? The mods must have cost a fortune. Are the dim's paying for this? Every time I hear another squeak out of the rats on the Viking I know even more that GWB did the Right Thing.

[Bahbah]

It's driving them crazy and I have never enjoyed anything more. It was clear to anyone who cared to see it that the president was entirely at home with the men and women of the USS Lincoln and they with him, and that says some good things about a guy. Quite accidentally, I noticed he was quite handsome. ;-)

How come the demonrats aren't bitching about all the trips their beloved intern molester took. This same intern molester used the military for his own personal travel service yet I hear nothing about this and only about how GWB is using the military for his own political goals.

Mr. intern molester racked up 10s of millions of dollars in travel expenses (paid for by the taxpayers) jet-setting all over the planet. More overseas trips than any other president in history.

I say that prick clinton and his bitch wife should be tried for the murder of all the victims of 911 and then promptly executed.

Yeah, and with Bush, we know it is an American aircraft and an American flight suit. Who knows to what military or nation Leahy or most democrats pay allegance.

They continue to become more and more strident in their fear of another 4 republican years. This morning on the news the streaming below the picture was saying "Bush to speak will cost workers wages". It seems the CEO of the company he was speaking at told workers that if they went to see the president speak, they wouldn't be paid for the time or would have to make it up later. Now suppose that the CEO gave everybody the time off paid to go hear the president. The streaming would have read "Bush's crony pays workers to fake support for president's speech". I swear to God these people are dreadful. My worst nightmare is Maxine Waters in the White House.

That's an F-16 in the background. I am pretty sure (damn sure) it can't land on a carrier. I also believe that CT has no Naval Aviation in the state for leaky to pander to.

The thought of a scary and dangerous carrier landing would probably keep a demoncrat from even thinking about it. Tanks and standing beside a stationary aircraft are more like their speed.

Hey leaky, take a submarine out for a nice deep ride and get a picture of you in a torpedo tube. Hint, go to New London and tell them you are a senator.

These people just seem to have a viseral contempt for the military. Take this "argument" offered in support of a big slab of corporate-welfare pork in the form of a baseball stadium in Arlington VA:

[State Sen. Mary Margaret] Whipple said that Arlington needs a new nationally recognizable landmark that people could identify with Arlington, although she drew some fire from the crowd by suggesting that current county landmarks, the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery, were national symbols of "war and death."

At least the local population retains enough sense of decency to roast her for this sneer at our living servicemen and honored dead....
