Ethics reform? Is it still O.K. for Skinner to use the pivate DU Jet?

[Botany]

Just wondering :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Only for "fact finding" trips to Bangkok or Singapore

[xultar]

2. I used it for new years so he better de funk-a-fy the thing.

[Botany]

6. Did you leave your friends behind?

It must have been a hell of a party.

[xultar]

8. That 's me on the right. How'd you get that picture?!??!?!

Did I say that out loud?

[BlueJazz]

3. Well...Here's the Actual Plane.. >>>

[SoCalDem]

14. Breaking News: Update

[midnight]

21. Very funny.

[JuniperLea]

4. Sure! As long as DU isn't...

A publicly traded company... or an ad hoc department of a government!

:)

[Beaverhausen]

5. He will have to get by with only 2 stewardesses

4 was a bit too many!

[Botany]

7. and how many hot towels does one person need too?

[Sydnie]

10. Don't let Jeb know there are fresh towels on the plane

He will want to be Skinners Best Friend Forever!

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

9. The Jet is ok. The big no-no is having the DU Hummer Limo

drive to whatever airport he's landing at to chauffeur him around town.

[SoCalDem]

12. and NO more yachts..

It's back to the rentals for him

[Botany]

13. Well he does roll w/ his posse

[MrCoffee]

19. i'd crash that party.

[Sydnie]

11. He can use the plane as long as

he doesn't reimburse the general DU funds from the Charity Drive account. See how nicely that works out for him? ;)

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

15. One thing I haven't seen...

Is this month's grape peeling for Skinner schedule? Does anyone know where it is posted?

[Sydnie]

20. He has us all on notice

While we await the arrival of his Minihim. Fresh grapes arrive daily just in case.

[jmowreader]

16. Yeah, it's okay. But he has to fly it himself...

according to today's revision of the DU Code of Ethics, he can use the plane, but the crew has been deemed a Flagrant Waste of Funds.

Uhhh...Karl...DemoTex...they sell Gulfstream V Type Rating for Dummies at the local Barnes & Noble, right?

[karlrschneider]

18. Don't know about Mac - I found it at a garage sale.

:evilgrin:

[karlrschneider]

17. You mean he traded in the G4 on a G5 and didn't tell us?

:party: :dilemma:

22. Yeppers, Got it on EBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-WESTWIND-II-S-N-425-N328SA-Alaska-Jet_W0QQitemZ250067826517QQihZ015QQcategoryZ63678QQcmdZViewItem

1984 WESTWIND II S/N 425 N328SA Alaska Jet
Bought for the state by our newly-discharged, disgraced, and disgusting ex-Governor Murkowski:


Skinner, you have to promise not to transport any prisoners on it though. That's what Murky claimed he was using it for.........

[karlrschneider]

24. LOL! That's actually a pretty nice plane but it's WEIRD to land...

your butt is only about 2 feet off the ground at touchdown. :D

[northofdenali]

25. With Murky on it, it was probably less than 6 INCHES!!

Also, can you imagine landing it on a short gravel runway usually used by bush planes like this?



Still, Skinner can have any jet he wants, dammit! :P

[karlrschneider]

26. That sure looks like a "Super Cub" (a actual Piper Cub with a big motor

maybe a Lycoming 115..?) :D

Might have clipped wings too...although the tail doesn't look just 'zackly right. Hmmm.

Them Alaskans do weird shit wid their airplanes though...:rofl:

[northofdenali]

28. Get this, karl - (photos, etc.)

Worst repuke governor's stunt of the decade - nobody, even his own lieutenant gov, (we call 'em "lite guvs") wanted this plane bought. Now, yep, the new guv has put it up for sale on EBay....


Da Jet - With For Sale Sign :rofl:

And now comes this, from the same Republican controlled State that brought you the American taxpayer financed, 250 million Dollar bridge connecting an island of 50 people, NONE OF WHOM OWN CARS:

ANCHORAGE ALASKA: Critics have dubbed it "Bald Ego," "Murky's Turkey" and "Incontinental Airlines," but Alaska Republican Gov. Frank Murkowski finally has the sleek executive jet he says he and other state officials need.

The $2.6 million Westwind aircraft, equipped with a leather sofa, burgundy carpeting and a flush toilet, arrived this week in Anchorage and will replace a no-frills turboprop used by previous Alaska governors for official business.

Critics say Murkowski's jet is unusable in much of rural Alaska, where runways are too short and made of gravel or nonexistent. http://www.takebackamerica.us/1/viewArticle.asp?tp=16


Interior of same

:rofl::rofl::spray::rofl::rofl:

SERIES!!111!! this WAS HUGH and a big error by our repuke MORAN governor!

[jmowreader]

29. He would have been better off with a Pilatus PC-12

The PC-12 has two obvious advantages over the plane Murkowsky bought, even though it's more expensive: its ability to work off gravel runways, and the cargo door in the back. The door is big enough that people load the plane with forklifts, so it should be wide enough to get Murkowsky's swollen head through. AND it's got a lavatory!

Then again...they still make King Airs.

[MikeNearMcChord]

23. Is there a I chance I could borrow it for

First Annual MikeNearMcChord's Golf tournament and Bohemian Grove outing in
Mallorca, sometime in the summer?

[Minnesota_Lib]

27. Only when flying down to the DU admin's private Caribbean island hideaway.
