Hatch wasn’t a member of the press...

The press worked overtime covering for Bill Clinton - they would have lied for him until the last man fell if it wasn’t for that damn blue dress... it’s different.

Get a load of this:

Did John McCain accidently fire his missile causing the USS Forrestal disaster?

From WIKI Answers:

“No, he didn’t fire the missile, but was responsible. A missile fired from another plane, striking McCain’s aircraft and setting it ablaze.
Something made the plane behind McCain fire a rocket, which hit McCain’s external center fuel tank, and caused a fire. McCain panicked, and dropped two bombs into the fire.

Surviving crewmen of the USS Forrestal and those who investigated the Forrestal fire case reported that McCain deliberately ‘wet-started’ his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his plane.

‘Wet-starts’, done either deliberately (the starter motor switch allowed kerosene to pool in the engine and give a wet start) or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.’Wet starting’ was a common practice among young ‘hot-dog’ pilots.

In McCain’s case, the ‘wet-start’’cooked off’ and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawk’s fuel tank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off it’s 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire.”

No apology was necessary when VP Biden insulted Americans of Indian origin about working in 7-11’s.

Yes, there are a lot of senile people in Arizona. Have you ever tried to drive in Sun City (55+ only)? I was almost run over by a senior driver in the parking lot of a grocery store. How do they get driver’s license without good vision? Florida is the same.
