Yes, yes it is. (and America, that’s you getting fucked)

Bush has a back-up or two for his jumbo

Ever feel guilty about over-packing on your travels? George Bush will make you feel better.

The United States President, who arrived in Sydney last night, brought not one Jumbo jet, but three, as well as another two aircraft that carry aircraft. The President’s Jumbo has a back-up, and the back-up has a back-up.

Air Force One can jam enemy radar, and radar-guided missiles, and is equipped with flares to avoid heat-seeking missiles.

The Jumbos are carrying 700 of the President’s closest friends, including a doctor, nurse, personal chef and four cooks.

They are also carrying advisers, and it is clear the President will not be short of advice.

His entourage includes 50 White House political aides, 150 national security advisers and 200 specialists from other government departments.

POTUS, as he is known in Secret Service jargon (President Of The United States), is getting by with a mere 250 protective agents.

Any indication that this is

Any indication that this is anything more than SOP? I think the man is a tool, but this is a silly thing to get hot over.

i'd have to look it up, punditguy. but there are many reasons

to be upset by this. a president, a "conservative, fiscally responsible" republican president, a "ceo" president, should set and example. this is the Flying Fucking French Court, and i'm paying for it. you too. while vets go without armor or health insurance, and children starve right here in america. sure, it's "just a couple of million," but to us Little People, that could go a long way.

are you a Court Member, that you've forgotten that?

and taking 400 aides with you is excessive, even for 'leader of the free world.' it's ridiculous to think they all serve a vital purpose (other than sucking cock at the parties).

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
