Umbrellagate
 

Once again the Jindal characterization of his own party becomes evident in the emergence and popularity of "Umbrellagate". Attachment 1780

Sarah strikes again.

Treasonous and un-manly!:rolleyes:

Just what is the scandal all about? Forgive me but I must have missed Reagan's umbrellagate 30 years ago....

Here's a WaPo story on it. Much ado about nothing.

Quote:

Flanagan also pointed to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which states that members of the Marine Corps shall “perform such other duties as the President may direct.”

In this case, Obama had clearly directed the Marines to be ready with umbrellas if necessary.


Palin and Dobbs blowing the whistle for the racist fringe.....disgusting. The other Presidents get a pass because they are white. Think I am full of shit? Post me a link to anyone complaining about W using Marines and I will shut up.

Using Marines to hold umbrellas. I did not mean using Marines in a war based on faulty intelligence.

Fixed that for you.

Sometimes I give W the benefit of the doubt. Never Rumsfeld,Cheney,or Rove.

Well, maybe he was as dumb as a stump.

I still wonder where his trick or treat bag was? Or perhaps a Marine was carrying it.

At least Clinton knew what he had Chelsea for.

ROTFLMAO. I made the mistake of saying to my wife on 9/12/01 that maybe it was a good thing that the Stump and Darth Cheney stole the election? Little did I know that those idjits would go after the wrong guy for it. She's never let me forget it.:o

I'm thinking the difference must be that Reagan had a secret service guy(?) holding his, the two bushes had french queers in berets holding theirs but Obama dared to have a Marine do it......:rolleyes:

If I'm not mistaken, I think those "French queers" are Rangers. I would NOT recommend calling them that, within earshot.:eek:

Dave

Nope, just checked it out..........Black Beret-Regular Army since 2001.

Dave

Yeah, I know Dave.....was just making a point.

And from the Rangers I've known, they may as well be french queers when compared to a Marine ;) (including that uber Patriot Marion ;) )
