No one has mentioned this, but I think we are EXTREMELY fortunate that we

are diametrically opposed politically, I like to think that anyone who has
flown has the attitude and ability we're looking for in a leader.


That's silly. There are a lot of bone-head pilots that don't have what
it takes to be leaders. In addition, I don't consider Governor Shrub a
pilot, anymore. Kerry, from all reports, has been an active pilot
(probably not recently, during the election). Shrub hasn't flown since
he left the guard. How much could he love flying if he hasn't even
bothered to do it in 30 years? Money certainly wasn't a problem. In
fact, I don't buy the point you made about his ex-instructor putting him
in the top 5% of his students. If he was that good, he would have kept
flying. To be that good, you have to love it. And if he loved it, he
wouldn't have stopped.
