I like Bush Sr.

Was GW adopted?

Dammit. It was a better headline than mine

Good job, subby.

That's pretty cool, ex-prez.

interview with videos (scroll about half way down the page for the link to the video of his jump)

Unfortunately it was the older Bush, and he had a parachute.

So does he do this every year for his birthday? My grandfather has pumpkin pie every year instead..

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: Unfortunately it was the older Bush, and he had a parachute.

Intelligent falling?

Alphax: So does he do this every year for his birthday?

Every five years.

hehe, he is still fighting that wimp thing.

This guy fought cannibals and sharks in WW2. Bravery obviously skipped the generation before him and the generation after him.

"Wow, I love my yearly birthday airplane trip."

"Sir, I'm afraid you're going to have to jump."

"Why?"

"Because there are twenty serving men on this plane, we've all be stuck for the last six years in a war or two that your idiot son created for nothing, and as such the only thing we have to look forward when we finally go back to a lack of jobs and insurance is throwing your dumb ass out of here with a loud splat."

"I'll show myself to the door."

Read my lips, no new in-flight movie.

-I've read elsewhere that his parachute jumps are partly intended to commemorate the day he was shot down over the Pacific.

I think Barbara was on a drinking binge while she was pregnant with that one.

And they named the smart kid Jeb.

I'm fairly certain he was talking about his father and children specifically.

Alphax: So does he do this every year for his birthday? My grandfather has pumpkin pie every year instead..

It was to celebrate his surviving being shot down while on a bombing run on Chichi Jima, and to commemorate the other two crewmen in his plane that didn't survive. He was picked up by the USS Finback which was lucky as the Japanese commander of Chichi Jima was tried for executing downed American pilots and....well ....eating parts of them.

So did your grandfather fly multile combat missions off a carrier, see most of his squadron mates killed, and then become president or is he an underemployed DB with a receding hairline like you.

Grandpa's hairline receded FAR more than mine. But he was an aircraft designer for McDonald-Douglas, retiring in 1980. Was working for them in WWII, I think. I don't know a lot about what he worked on, but he once told me that he did some of the wing design on the F/A-18 Hornet.

There's a big difference between 'smart' and 'nonretarded.' And I think you mean the second one because I can't see any Bush offspring being anything less than a waste of human flesh.

Damn. I think I'd celebrate not crashing and then being cooked up by a deranged Japanese guy too.

Did yours?

Bush Sr. tried so hard during WW2 becuase he knew if not for his dad it would probably have never happened (not right then, anyway). He had to do something to redeem himself knowing that he would get old and rich off Daddy's war bucks.

Plus, if you were not a veteran back then you could not get elected to drive a school bus.

Brave old dude, it still does not make up for the amount of douchebag scoundrel in his blood.

Even people who are senile enjoy rituals that they earlier established.

My father who doesn't recognize me still enjoys his daily walk to the mailbox to pick up mail that he can't understand.

"Just because you're old, that doesn't mean you can't do fun stuff. And you don't want to sit around drooling in the corner," he added. "It's a wonderful release."

Well, now we know how he felt about his former boss.

I DNRTFA but I'm assuming it's about Bush Sr.'s annual birthday jump. Am I right?

FORMER President...
Don't you farking forget that.

Nobody mentions HLN's Robin Meade?

Good for him. I hope I can do the same when I get to be that age. It must be so disappointing for him to have had the son that he did. I hope he makes his next jump at 90.

Don't know why the tag "scary" tag perhaps to get by the libtard mod's but I think at 85 that he is very cool.

CaptainWes: FORMER President...
Don't you farking forget that.


Once you're the President you're always referred to as President. Same as Governor, I believe.

FTA:

"You can go out and get something done," he told the network.

"Just because you're old, that doesn't mean you can't do fun stuff. And you don't want to sit around drooling in the corner," he added.

Fun stuff in your retirement years, like hunting for that second job, or taking that long, monthly trek to Canada to fill your prescription needs. Stuff like that - WHOOPY!

ILoveLamp: Once you're the President you're always referred to as President. Same as Governor, I believe.

Yep. Like President Clinton, or President Gore.

aw, dammit. wrong president bush, had 'chute.

Godscrack

nice Shoop

I larfed

FunkOut: Damn. I think I'd celebrate not crashing and then being cooked up by a deranged Japanese guy too.

Makes sense. Although I now feel for the guy whose job it is to design the cake for the celebration.

"I'll show myself to the door."

HA! Made me laugh painfully hard.

/thats exactly what i was envisioning, welcome to my favorites list.

Yeah, I can already hear Rush and Hannity railing about how GHWB wasn't a conservative and demanding an apology to Nancy.

that was funny (+1)

Buck-KY: ILoveLamp: Once you're the President you're always referred to as President. Same as Governor, I believe.

God you're dumb.

George Bush also holds the distinction of youngest Navy pilot in WW2.

Excellent headline subby.

News flash, you twit--nobody has to atone for their parents' sins.

If that were the case, Robert Byrd's and George Wallace's children would be seriously screwed.

That first guy is the Lost Battalion guy, Major Whittlesey! I must say, Rick Schroder did him justice in the movie.

About time.
Please tell me it was without a parachute.

The man's father helped fund the Nazis. George H.W. Bush trafficked cocaine into America using the CIA, which was then sold to American children. He illegally employed Contra fighters to slaughter South Americans and traffic cocaine to America. He stole trillions from the National Treasury. He committed High Treason pretty much every month of every year he was in office.

Hell, his family delivered the Arch Traitor George Worthless Bush into American politics and eventually hijacked the United States of America for even more treason, thievery, lying, and mass murder.

You sir are a beacon of liberal tolerance and decency. Good on you.

So what?
