Yeah...He's a legend in his own mind!

Just like Ronny Raygun...they named an airport after him right after he fired all the air traffic controllers! The nerve of these people! But nothing like this surprises me.

There is a internet rumor about a new ship called the "USS William Clinton" but I doubt that will fly.

But the "USS Jimmy Carter" is next looks like.

Actually I like that ship. even though it is a nimitz class carrier it is 20 feet longer than the Nimitz, making it the US biggest carrier. And alot of refinements went into the Reagan.

It's just a shame that they don't name these things after people with more honor instead of some actor.

I don't think ships should be named after people who are still alive. I think that honor should be held for those who came before us.

I just hope they don't make one called SS WW III. Sheesh.

What is wrong with being an actor then being a political figure? Being an actor does not automatically make a person stupid unlike all those Hollywood liberals.

It's difficult enough to trust these people let alone someone who is a trained actor...Honestly...I think our political system is a joke anymore. Nothin more than a bunch of lyin, greedy, thieves who use the public for their own gain while blowing smoke up the sheoples butts.

Isn't it ironic, don't you think, that Kona complains about political threads yet he started one himself?

*sings this to the tune of "Isn't It Ironic"*
