WASHINGTON -- The White House said that President Bush's landing on an aircraft carrier to declare the end of war in Iraq was not intended for his political gain. But a conservative group that supports Bush's policies has built a fundraising campaign around an official Navy photo of the president on the ship's deck.

Good for them!

I am curious however, as to why the President is wearing Navy aviator wings when he earned his in the Air Force? Shouldn't he be wearing AF wings?

[Peach]

Good - I'd buy one.

Democrats are criticizing the fundraising pitch.

I don't think that Republicans should do anything that Dims might criticize...such as fund raising, voicing conservative opinions, running for office, keeping campaign promises, etc.

</sarcasm>

[Freee-dame]

Democrats also criticized

can be completed with anything that President Bush says or does. The Rats do not seem to care about the country, only their own power.

Poor Senator Byrd will be in the well of the Senate proclaiming the flamboyance of that ad.

lol.

Anybody remember the grotesquely staged Hillbillary beach waltz?

Or Beelzebubba "spontaneously" stacking stones into a little memorial on the beach at Normandy--stones that are not found in that place normally, but somehow were conveniently there when the cameras were?

Or how about the Hildebeeste's "Pretty in Pink" interview?

Or "Mr. Military" surveying the DMZ with binoculars--that had the lens caps in place?

Hypocrite, thy name is democrat.

The amazing thing is that anybody even bothers to listen to those scumbags.

Off topic a bit: see the look on the faces of those young Navy men. I suspect you will never find a photo with ex-Pres. Clinton and service members where they have the same looks on their faces.

Strangely enough, you wear the wings of the service you're flying with/for. I know it sounds odd, but the point is that he is, for the moment, a naval aviator even though he learned to fly with the USAF.

The most common comment I've heard from military men about Clintstone is, "Draft-dodging coward."

And a bunch of other stuff you're not supposed to post here.

[Lockbox]

it sure beats the picture on Monica with ............ all over her!

[Mr. Bird]

This is important stuff. I'm glad the Globe is on top of it. Asses.

[A. Pole]

Do not forget this guy!

[Jay D. Dyson]

And don't forget this schmuck!
