W. poses as fighter pilot, taxpayers foot the bill

Any minute now Vinth will be acting as Boortzs ventriliquist dummy and letting ya'll know about the picture of Clinton on the deck of an aircraft carrier. He'll want to know why Clinton got a free pass.

Since there's no creddit on the photo you can't look into the circumstances, but:

A.) I hate Clinton, and I hated him while he was in office. Posturing like this is one of the reasons. I hated it when Dukakis road in that tank and he got ridiculed to hell and back and it didn't cost me a penny.

B.) The MAIN question is, was the fighter that carried either of them going from wherever to the the aircraft carrier in question anyway, and if not, were there other, cheaper ways to get there?

C.) Why did Ari Fliescher initially say the reason Bush was going by fighter was because the crrier was way out of helicopter range and that it had nothing to do with posturing?

D.) How much money got blown here? Estimates currently range from zero to a million dollars, depending on who's talking. I'll wait.
