Meanwhile, a Democratic politician, overcome with jealosy at the President's tailhook landing, decided he would put on an official-looking jumpsuit, and strap himself into a cockpit, too. Unfortunately for him, neither the results of his escapade, nor the press coverage thereof, were as satisfactory.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I give you the distinguished Governor of the great state of North Carolina...

Mike Easley:

Governor Easley, in the blue coveralls at the right of the photo, examines the damage (yup, totalled) to the stockcar he drove into a "soft wall" at Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte yesterday.

We can now add "driving" to the long list of things Governor Easley isn't very good at.

That's too good. You KNOW he was trying to be George Bush. Wonder if he ever made it out of second gear.

I've heard differing estimates of the speed at which your distinguished governor "brushed" the "soft part" of the wall. Everything from 120 to 160.

It would be good to see a replay. I might even buy the tape.

What I want to know is this: WHO's PAYING TO FIX THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR - MR. EASLEY ...?? or the taxpayers of North Carolina ...??
