Vietnam F-4 ace Randy Cunningham goes down in flames...

[agpilot34]

Sad but true...

Too bad though, as someone would have enjoyed him in the pokey.

Heheh, I can hear it now... "Hey Duke, incoming SAM on your six!" NO time to ejac...er... I mean eject... Ugh!! right up the tailpipe!

Duke

Duke is a tool. I remember when he came to get the dog and pony show in Lemoore. He showed up at the club and with every squadron there basically told everyone he was to cool to hang with a bunch of Hornet guys.

This convection couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

If he does any time at all, it'll be at Club Fed at Hurlburt.

[Occam's Razor]

yeah too bad he didn't strike you as a deep thinker, then again, who was a congressman?

You mean: Which one of us is a "lying crook"?

Why, he is.

If his mental prowess is demonstrated by his ability to get elected to Congress...I will utter a silent prayer of thanks that I am not as "smart" as Randy Cunningham. The honor of being elected to Congress is nothing if you only use it for self-enrichment.

A child molester that rescues a nun from a burning convent is a child molester.
A scumbag that invents a cure for hiccups is a scumbag.
A lying crook that gets elected to congress is a lying crook.

 

[agpilot34]

Yeah, it's just too bad that in this country, lying crooks seem to be the only ones that can get elected to public office, and then the ones that elected them bitch piss and moan about it when they inevitably do something this monumentally stupid.

Duke Cunningham

Well, had to draw a line through that guy's name on my list of "True American Heros" ... he won't get all that he deserves.

I couldn't agree with you more.

A lot of people have been disillusioned by meeting Yeager in person. Yeager has apparently always been quite in love with himself and its a wonder he could fit his head in a P-51 in his post war civilian flying.

Not to denegrate his achievements, but he has a reputation of being quite the A$$ at times. One acquaintance whose son wrote to year for a signed picture got a picture back with letter saying how he knew his was just going to be for F$$$$$$ ebay.

Its a same that people who have had such greatness have to find another way to lower themselves.

 

[agpilot34]

Hmm, I met Yeager a few years ago at an airshow here in OK... didnt find him to be that way at all.

Well after reading this article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20050612-9999-1n12windfall.html

I think I'm going to go put on my little gomer goggles, little gomer scarf and puch out of this thread. Keep it real mofos.
