[Rhodes22-list] The Post Turtle (Humor/Political)

[Brad Haslett]

Rob,

Never worked for Cheney but do fly with someone who did (retired Army G5
pilot who flew for Halliburton).  He said Cheney was a nice guy, called when
he'd be late, and was always respectful (those are the benchmarks for
corporate pilots).

Dislike Obama?  Nah, I bet he'd be a hoot to sit down with and drink beer.
I don't dislike the guy, I just think anyone who wants to be POTUS should
have a resume that needs more than the space on a business card to be
printed.

I don't like either of these two.  However, comma, if I've got my nads in a
vice, I'll pick the ex-fighter pilot.  (BTW, I've worked with some of
McCain's fellow Navy aviators who knew him in 'Nam and they still have
'issues' with him).

This isn't even a matter of choosing the 'lesser of evils' but more like
"which end of this turd should I pick-up without it breaking in two".

Brad
