Tales from a Red State

From Bill Sammon's book Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry, and the Bush Haters, the "Fly Boy" chapter about Bush's landing on the USS Lincoln (you know, the much maligned Mission Accomplished flight):
    "If it wasn't safe, the president of the United States would not be doing it," Fleischer said. "And I remind you it's done every day, many times a day, by navy pilots whose mission is to fly on an aircraft carrier."

    But not all such landings were successful. Just one month earlier, a Viking skidded off the deck of the     USS Constellation. The two pilots were rescued and the navy was investigating the cause of the mishap.
I remember the incident. Lt. Matthew Wilder is the son of my insurance agent.

Whom do you know to thank?
