What will be the first words out of Bush 41's mouth when he...

[Tom_Foolery]

jumps out of the plane this Sunday to celebrate his 80th birthday? Of course, this is going to be a tandem jump; but it's still a loooooooooong way down...10,000 feet, I believe.

1. I read somewhere

it won't be a tandem jump, he's jumping all by his little self.

With about 50 people around him.

4. Thanks for the info...

his last jump was tandem; so I thought this one would be, too. Maybe the Secret Service guy is supposed to float over and pull the cord.

2. I know what mine would be: Oh, Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....

...iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

6. I've jumped several times...

and once you leave the plane, it isn't too bad. It actually changed my life.

7. "Can't swim? You crazy - the FALL will probably kill you!"

3. He'll strut around like a little rooster and puff out his chest.

I don't see what the big deal is about this. So he's still fit at 80? So he's not afraid to skydive? He wants to remind us that he was a WWII hero?

Anything he does will make dimson look even worse by comparison. Maybe that's the point.

5. I think he did the same thing when he turned 70

Babs was none too pleased.

8. Agent: "George, wait! Make sure you don't pull the cord too fast

and get sucked into the...oh, crap..."

9. Good lord...a month long state funeral, poppy jumping out of a plane,

welcome to the Cirque de Republic. Gawd...these folks are getting desperate. What's next? James Baker driving a motorcycle around a metal cage sphere containing a ferocious lion? Wolfowitz and Perle as the new Siegfried and Roy? Condi Rice's flea circus? Rummy as the fire eater? Sheesh.
