What's wrong with this picture

http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/07/2...r-damaged.html

Like the wise old owl said, "Let's see what we got."

"We got a billionaire businessman, with a 145 LF multimillion dollar yacht, registered in the Marshalls...just like the Deepwater Horizion, what burns 50 gallons of fuel per hour, destroying the environment in some poor 3rd World Country, and he's got a "D" in front of his name."

"That's what's wrong...the "D" supposta be an "R"!!!

One wise old bird, doncha think, Pete???

Chas

PS: Just a thought, but if you had a billion buxs, why in the hell would you want to be in politics?

Being an asshole while being a Senator or a wannabee Senator is a nonpartisan affliction.

OK, I'll bite and offer up the obvious hypocrisy of a (presumably environmentally aware) Democrat trashes a World Heritage coral reef with a gas guzzling yacht that's bigger than a friggin' house. I say keel haul the SOB over the same reef. The world won't miss one more Senatorial candidate.

I've never run into such problems with my 16' canoe.
