From MSNBC:
Ex-president plans to celebrate 85th birthday by leaping out of planeHe's made several jumps with the Golden Knights to mark various occasions, including the 10th anniversary of his presidential library. I wonder how much it costs to have highly trained precision military teams and aircraft standing by?
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - Former President George H.W. Bush is poised to celebrate his 85th birthday by making a parachute jump in Maine, but the weather could dampen his plans.
Bush is scheduled to make a tandem jump Friday with a member of the Army's Golden Knights parachute team near his summer home in Kennebunkport. However, Friday's forecast shows a likelihood of rain in the area.
If the event is rained out, Bush's jump will be moved back to Saturday.
I’m sure the folks who raised hell about the expense associated with the Obamas’ recent NYC date night are just as outraged by the taxpayer tab and military resource expenditure incurred in helping Bush the Elder demonstrate his octogenarian machismo. Not.
