The chimp coming into his rallies in Marine One, to the sounds of Top Gun
theme? This is from a Washington Post article.

"President Bush turned his Marine One chopper into a campaign prop Saturday and used it to drop in on huge crowds at three stadiums around Florida, at a time of concern in his campaign about his failure to gain a decisive lead in the most crucial battlegrounds.

The commander in chief landed at the ballparks to the strains of the 'Top Gun' theme, his most dramatic use of a military asset since he rode a fighter jet onto an aircraft carrier 17 months ago to declare the end of major combat operations in Iraq."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57458-2004Oct23_2.html

This is just beyond the pale. It is so LAME. It is fucking CARTOONISH. The guy is such a FUCKTARD.

Anyone who likes this kind of crap is beyond MORONIC.

1. and the whores attack Kerry for hunting and saying it's a photo op
even if it was it was still something Kerry actually does do. he just used it in a way to help in the campaign to show he isn't going to take away people's hunting rifles.

but bush is not a soldier and has never been. yet he acts like he is some military hero. and the media whores say nothing. or they whore about how great it is.

2. Did the RNC pay for this?
Since Shrub is using military assets, which belong the PEOPLE of the US, for partisan political purposes, I think he should pay us back.

3. The rally I saw on CSPAN yesterday
was tiny and DULL compared to the Kerry events. I guess if you need to pre-screen everyone who comes to your rallies, it's harder to get 15 thousand people together, but there was just a cluster of people out on a field in a stadium, the helpcopter landed, he stepped out, waving his already-sweaty armpits around, and people sort of went "yeay, four more years...":eyes:

What a bore... and a boor, come to think of it...

4. What next?
Will they drop him on to a stage wearing "special ops" garb while dangling from a cord, complete with a loaded gun? Maybe they can play the Rambo or Rocky theme...

Stupid twits...

6. I suppose
they could strip him down to his Superman "big boys", put a cape on him and dangle him from the chopper. :shrug: It couldn't be any more absured than it already is so why not?

7. Yes
And the stage will be a mock-up of ground zero, complete with fog machine and fleeing Arabs.

And the song will be "America, Fuck Yeah!".

9. Maybe someone could get the composer
of Top Gun, Giorgio Moroder, to complain.

16. According to the Internet Movie Database,
the "original music" was by Harold Faltermyer (which just has to be true, 'cause you couldn't make up a name like that) and the songs were by Giorgio Moroder.
