Oh Puke......A G.W Bush Branding.....

[liberalnurse]

Just wittnessed the welding of G.W Bush on some ship called the USS George H. W Bush. It apparently is for an aircraft.

I really feel sorry for any sailors having to sail on the ship, called the Nimitz where is plane is.....Oh what target for the enemy. :puke:

1. They no longer have to be dead to get names on things?

Didn't they used to have to be dead?

I want nothing named for George except possibly a sewer.

2. Technically, he is brain dead.

3. I was thinking the same thing.....

that you had to be dead first...but then some things are named after Reagan......

It was just awful seeing that on National TV!!!!!

4. The thing about being a target based on the name

does suggest why the government once sensibly ruled that government buildings, ships, etc not be named for living (and in this case reviled) individuals.

I guess I would be okay with naming a toxic landfill after a member of that family! But a ship? Like calling it the Flying Dutchman or Titanic 2.
