RICHARD....face is "cara" in Spanish and "idiot" is the...well... nicest translation of "pendajo" I have EVER heard...
So I'm curious...what kind of plane does Cheney get to use? Does that upset you? Or is it only woman of power (who don't wear a uniform!) who upset you?????
Since Cheney is second in command, I think he should have a plane as good as Air Force one. How many speakers of the house have ever made it to President? Not many! Dosen't matter what sex they are.Quote:

Hmmm, Never hear that from the mouth of a politician...
As far as pendejo?
They don't teach that word in spanish class, and never having taken Espanol......ds
Mea Culpa again.
I hate not being perfect.
------------------------
Dick Cheney fliies an airplane? I always thought he was a passenger
DC uses a plane with engines and wing and it goes ZOOOMMM.
As a matter of fact, It's not as big as GWB's and bigger than Pelosi's.
Rank has it privileges (did I spell that right?)
As far as women, power and uniforms.
I love my mom. She's got power.
I dislike Rachel Ray. Does being on TV make you powerful?
Demi Moore is really HOT, but since she was in uniform in a "FEW GOOD MEN"
she's DQ'd
-------------------
IT's quite a hoot to see a woman who works her rear end off to make it, just to get it kicked when she tries to act/play like the boys.
Especially when she makes stupid statements about saving the taxpayers money, professing her desire to fly commercial and then making a really stupid statement about not wanting to fly in a smaller airplane than a man.
SO WHAT IS IT?
Hahahaha....Richard.......in Aussie terms........"Good one !!!"
Wombat
Gosh RICHARD.....
is this what I said....?Quote:

If you are going to belittle me...a little accuracy would seem appropriate!
This says it all. You find it a "hoot" when a woman in power gets her rear end kick. When she acts like a "boy." She should go back home and play with her dolls, right.Quote:

Maggie, Golda, The German PM, Doile, Carly Fiorina and a few other gals have made it to the top.
Why?
They know that they don't have to go toe-to toe with men.
They let class, decorum and common speak for them.
There is something about a woman who says, "I can drink you under the table, boy!" that really turns me off.
There is only one competition on the planet where men and women compete evenly....Olypmic Equestrian events.
And then you HAVE to give to the horses.
There is a game men play, it's called a Pi$$ing contest.
Old men, drunks and guys with a point to prove play it.
(Did I mention the guys with a bad prostates?)
Women have the disadvantage.
So, I admire all the women who use guile, intelligence and common sense
to conquer those odds.
They will sit on the sidelines and wait until us silly AH men tinkle on our shoes, Pi$$ on our pant legs and pass out on the couch.
----------------------
Blessed are the meek,
They are usually the women us men have by our sides.
They have to clean up after our clumsy arses.
:eek: :confused: ;)
Sorry...that was too boring and full of your bizarre reading of history and current events for me to read.....so tell me
is your apology for miss-quoting me on Cheney in there somewhere?

All that hyperbole and you didn't read it. :(

I think you misspelled 'misqouted'...No harm, no foul.

I still love you!
Happy Valentine's day. :)
The 89th airlift squadron (AKA VIP taxi) has a finite number of aircraft of each type. They can only allocate assets according to what they have. The G-III and G-V aircraft are probably the easiest to assign to the Speaker of the House, and probably most suited to the mission.
They aircraft used to fly the President and the Vice President are specialized aircraft, with full military communications suites (read $$$$$$$$$) onboard so the President or if necessary the Vice President can carry out command functions regardless of where they are. If Madame Speaker wishes to appropriate that type of aircraft for her use, she most certainly may. Those aircraft, however, are not assembled overnight. I just don't see the need for it, as it is highly unlikely for overall Command to fall on the Speaker's shoulders without warning short of a nuclear strike.
Should the Speaker have an aircraft available? Yes, as it would ease the Secret Service's burden. I just don't see what the big deal is about stopping to refuel, as there are USAF bases scattered all across the country. She wouldn't even have to worry about landing at a commercial airport.

Whats wrong with Bush and Cheney ??? They're running the country ok.Quote:

Richard, as far as the women in unifrom...I AM one of them...I serve in the National Guard in Virginia...soon to be an officer....in the military world its not always easy to get by on guile and intelligence...lol...too many people in the military care about one thing and one thing only - and that is PT...so most of us have to work REALLY hard just to keep up...but at the same time, my Commander, who is female and who has past the age when she really needs to worry about her PT scores, and she is amazing...she uses her brain the right way and she runs our company beautifully and everyone respects her - but at one time she was also one of those women who had to struggle with being one of the guys....I have also noticed that to a certain point we just kinda loose our femininity while in uniform...no biggie....but we do become one of the guys while it is on...it makes functioning better. I admire women who struggle to get to the top - sometime that struggle isnt just the physical though...and women in uniform can be pretty dang attractive.
As far as Bush goes - it ticks me off when people make fun of his speech...I couldnt give a hoot...I'd like to see anyone address as many people as he has to and not get flustered...hec...I used to faint in front of a classroom.
As for the speaker....meeeeeeehhhh....dont think she will do too good a job. The whole immigrant thing...and the whole do one thing say another...tend not to be high on my list...
I voted for Bush, and I dont regret it...even though I might end over seas...I dont much like politics anymore though...I am a jeffersonian...I feel that both parties put too much on the federal government and not on the states.
Oh, and one other thing (saw something about this on an earlier post)....You can't support the troops but not the war - the troops are in the war....and they're dying because the insurgents see on CNN everyday that the American public wants them to come home, that the politicians and the speaker and all them are trying to bring them back...the media, and the public, is showing them that they are winning, giving them more food to fuel the fire and attack us...if you support the troops, then support the war too - it would do buckets for increasing our morale and destroying theirs.
~Ceph
So even if one thinks the war is wrong...a bad idea on the part of those who send the troops to fight? Hasn't that been done already? So the Germans were correct to support the Nazi's war because that was the only way to support the troops?Quote:

I think we need to do some cleaning out in Congress.
We need some new people in who haven't been corupted yet. I'm tired of the same old f--ts and the same old "do what's good for them not the country" attitude that seems to run rampent in Congress. ARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!
Two terms is all anyone should be allowed!!! I think some people have been there since they were in diapers; now they are in them again!!! :eek:
ok this rant is over - for now! :)
