I think you owe me an apology.
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.

With GWB's penchant for bike accidents (he could fall on his head) and
Cheney's wild use of guns, (could shoot himself next time) I wouldn't discount
the notion of Madam Speaker taking over. heck, she sure couldn't do
any worse than those two.

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

haha, sometimes I dont take these things serious enough, sometimes I do....but this thread is hysterical...lol.

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.

...if you support the troops, then support the war too ~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?

I kinda thought that is how dictatorships get going....

I support the troops....bring them home now....
