John Kerry has been blaming the Bush administration for the rash of Cirrus
crashes. Kerry says that number of Cirrus accidents has increased
dramatically since Bush took office. He is calling for a special
independent
commission to determine what Bush knew about the dangers of flying Cirrus
aircraft and when he knew it.

The White House responds that the Cirrus was mostly developed during the
Clinton administration. They say that the President introduced several
items
of legislation to make Cirrus aircraft safer and that Kerry voted for
these
proposals, but now Kerry claims that he based his vote on bad information
given to him by the Bush administration. He alleged a Republican
conspiracy
to make him "look bad" by tricking him into voting for things he would not
have supported had he known all the facts. Then he went on to attack Bush
for being stupid and for acting without ascertaining the facts.


Sinister Republican operatives have also been circulating Internet rumors
that although John Kerry now claims to be a pilot who supports general
aviation, he is actually one of the founders of the anti-aviation group Stop
the Noise. Pictures of a smiling Kerry standing with Stop the Noise
president Bill Burgoyne have been making the rounds by email. Kerry, while
not denying that these specific pictures were accurate, condemned the smear
tactics of Republican goons who send doctored photos of him around the
Internet. "I was right about aircraft noise then," said Kerry, "and I am
right about general aviation now. At least I am a real pilot and not some
moron who flew fighter planes in order to avoid military service."

Condoleezza Rice pointed out that Kerry hates generals of all kinds. "Why
would he all of a sudden start supporting general aviation?" Kerry responded
that he had met with the leaders of every foreign country in the last week
and that they supported his views on general aviation, and that the Bush
administration was lying.
