WTF!!!!! Guess what the name of the yacht that W got in the Omnibus......

[kuozzman]

bill is?

The fuckin Presidential Yacht SEQUOIA!!!(Voting Machine Company)

One expenditure buried in the bill is $2 million for the Navy to repurchase the presidential yacht Sequoia. The yacht was built in 1925 and first used by President Herbert Hoover. In the throes of Watergate, President Richard M. Nixon cruised the Potomac at night on the boat and brooded on his fate.

4. Another item to use against bush

such grandiose waste of tax dollars, is useful in exposing bush for what he is. I take it there has been no prez yacht since... Nixon?

6. Even worse

It's already available for his use whenever he wants it. There's no need to buy it.
