I'm glad you got rid of us this way rather than the typical European way of ovens and death camps.

OOpps - please ignore my other post. I suppose I could read a newspaper now and then.
Right. He even had a personal bodyguard assigned to keep the Senator's son safe.
Two of which may well have been self-inflicted. That story promises to be amusing.
At least his brief Vietnam experiences are well documented, in nicely re-enacted 8mm home movies.
W is more humble. He describes himself as a "not very good jet pilot."

Cite your source please. This is news to me. I'd also like to point out, since many think that being a journalist would be safe, that during the famous TET offensive of 1968, the viet cong(bad guys) were running down the corridors of the USA embassy,shooting people.
Anti-Kerry people always complain about bogus Purple Heart medals, but never the silver and bronze stars. Very interesting.
I forgot to add: You touched the hand that groped Monica's private parts ?:-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Lucky for you he wasn't selling over-priced vacuum cleaners at the time...
