Bush tries a few jokes with fund-raising
audience

Friday, October 10, 2003 Posted: 9:47 AM EDT (1347 GMT)

LEXINGTON, Kentucky (AP) --
President Bush came up with a new
reason Thursday for riding on Air
Force One.

"Not much air rage on Air Force One," Bush
jokingly told a fund-raising audience as he
offered a ride on the presidential plane to Labor
Secretary Elaine Chao. The audience seemed
baffled by the off-the-cuff remark about angry
outbursts on planes.

Bush seemed in a loose mood as he raised
money for Rep. Ernie Fletcher, the Republican
candidate for governor in Kentucky.

1. Thats nice

I really love hearing him make a joke about something that caused the largest attack on US soil.

Leave it up to him to keep using 9/11 as an excuse to make jokes/money/excuses.

4. that's not what I understand as air rage

I've always heard it as passengers causing a fuss, threatening the attendants, etc., because they're drunk.

Was he trying to point out he's still sober?

2. Sounds like more material

for Letterman's "George Bush Joke That Is Not a Joke" segment

3. that's just not funny...

since Bush is, in part, responsible for an increase in the generalized rage in the US. :grr:

5. hilarious..

this jackhole is one of the original kings of comedy.

6. The real joke was that the citizens of Lexington will have to pay

for the security for a purely partisan visit, and so will the rest of the US for the cost of AF 1 use for partisan purposes.

Shouldn't the GOP be paying for this?

7. what's the deal with airline food?

but seriously folks...
