THE SEvENTH PRESIDENT I SAW

It is 5:48 a.m., 68 degrees out, dark and Patrick is on the side porch.

The seventh President I saw was George Herbert Walker Bush. He came to Huntington, where I was living at the time, with hometown boy, Dan Quail to kickoff his campaign for President, so he was VP at the time. They came to the Courthouse, and I took Junior and held him on my shoulder, and we took the camcorder and recorded the event. There were snipers (ours) on the rooftops and they had their special black limos with them. So this must have been in 1988. So that completes my presidential encounters. I missed Johnson, Carter and Clinton. It's too late to complete the collection of all the presidents in my lifetime as Johnson is dead. Maybe I'll see Carter at Wal*Mart, who knows? As for Clinton, I wouldn't cross the street to spit on him if he was on fire. He was and remains a disgrace, with a stain (pun intended) that he will never be able to wash out...And that's the way it is.

P.S. Just when you thought the Democrats could stoop no lower, they somehow manage to outdo themselves, trying to politicize the botched Rescue response to Hurricane Katrina. They are vile and lacking souls. I never thought I would want the honest Democrats of the 60's to return, but at least they had a vision for the country, no matter how misguided, and were true to their beliefs, not like these hipocritical power hungry undead that control the party today, willing to do or say anything , no matter how much it harms the country, just to satisfy their immoral lust for power...Yes I called them undead. To me they are like the mindless zombies, pale with sunken eyes, that you see in the movies, jerkedly walking lockstep toward lunacy and insanity. And the regular Americans who sheepishly follow them-- are they hypnotized, bloody ignorant, retarded or what? It's bizzarre. How do you really feel, Stephen?

PPs --Both national and local MSM anchors are talking about something they call "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court"--no such thing. I'm pretty sure they are referring to the post of "Chief Justice of the United States". Scary that these idiots provide our FACTS, huh?
