"For My Next Trick..."

So, Air Force One buzzes New York, chased by an F-16? And nobody was told what was going on? And this struck somebody as a good idea?

Here's a preview of Obama's next little joke on New York...


Update: Don't miss Richard McEnroe's vision of the One!

The little old scientist in that one rocked!

Cecil Kelloway was the actor's name; and you're right, he was great in that role (he shouldn't have dawdled with the diving bell, though...)

Most people don't realize it, but his next to last words in that movie, "The suspension is cantileveric!" were actually the inspiration for Baywatch.

And President Obama assumes new title

Hey, the beast from 20,000 fathoms.....he looks like John Murtha!

Uh oh, who is Obama going to throw under the bus for this boo-boo?

Paco said...

Jeff: He does, doesn't he? Although Murtha has more of a stuffed look.

Keep your head low for the next few days, Paco. One of the reports I read said the were reconsidering the plan to buzz DC. Reconsider, mind you, not cancel.

Forewarned is forearmed, Retread. Paco can take his knuckle buster along to add to the noise and festivities.

Am I the only one who smells fish all over that stupid Air Force One stunt?

RebeccaH, I can't believe there isn't already a ton of pictures of AF1 over every landmark in this country and most of the ones in foreign countries. And if there isn't, as long as they're printing money, why not print another $600 and buy Photoshop to take care of it?

Given the number of people that had to be involved, I can't believe that some of them didn't bring up the thoughtlessness of the whole idea. So yeah, there isn't enough ice to keep this one from stinking.

I wonder if The Won will get a question about this in his sweeps week appearance Wednesday night. Maybe from what's-his-name, Tapper, I think. Hasn't he been straying from the reservation alot lately?
