I wonder what type of ship will carry BJ Clintoon's name? A dingy perhaps? :)

Seriously, one reason to work for a Republican congress is so that hopefully a ship bearing that clown's name will NEVER be commissioned.

Clinton LOATHES the military, remember? He doesn't need anything honorable in the military named after him.

I think Bill would take great pleasure in executing that chore.

The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver , BC.

The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton “for his foresight in military budget cuts” and his conduct while president. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F 14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F 18 Hornet aircraft which although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck but form a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified and includes members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter , is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs.

An on board Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.

The ship’s purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense - but instead in times of conflict the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada . The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party Headquarters for photo-op’s and can be used extensively for social experimentation, and whatever other worthless jobs, the ex-commander-in-chief and his wife can think of.

It is largely rumored that the ship will also be the set for the upcoming season of MTV’s “The Real World”.

The ship was renamed and commissioned USS William J Clinton when someone realized the USS Blowfish was already taken.

Thanks for the post.

Although I am a staunch Republican, I do not care for the naming of ships after living presidents or persons. whether it is an aircraft carrier named for George H.W. Bush or a submarine named for Jimmy Carter. I think the naming of the aircraft carrier would have been better to carry on the names of previous carriers like the Saratoga, Lexington, or Hornet; while the submarine could have been the Wahoo.
