This is what makes America great.
Hark! A sudden outburst of avuncular misdirection...

I'm very much in favor of knob-polishing, myself...for all kinds of knobs, and all kind of polishers. And I certainly don't support everything that Bush has done. But your reflexive reaction that Something Evil And Outrageous Must Be Afoot just because the "imfamous" aircraft is sitting on the ramp of a museum of naval aircraft is yet another classic illustration of mindless BushBashing on the Cellar...more so even than the childish Photoshoppery.

Ironically, the very fact that your reaction was so hysterical establishes that the aircraft in question *is* of historical interest sufficient to justify preserving it rather than sending it to the scrapyard with its many squadronmates.

It's clearly the most famous S-3 in the entire fleet.
