5. Bard Keith Olbermann Best fiction writer in the bunch
6. Bait Nancy Pelosi Certainly attracts the sharks.
7. Shingle Maker Harry Reid Looks like he has shingles so he may be the expert

Well thought out, Admiral.
Might get them past Sanibel, if they leave at first light.
Wish I could see them off.
Oh, forgot to mention the boat's name.
Mary Celeste. It's just sorta nice.

I'd take Sarah, leave everyone else in Ft Myers, and teach her Intra
Coastal navigation on the off watch.

PS, those Chrysler gas engines are going to drink a lot, especially if
we get lost and take a wrong turn towards the Bahamas. Please send
one or two a fully loaded credit cards.

If I was in Ft Myers, I would head south to the Keys or the Bahamas. I
can't imagine any reason to head north to any sort of sewer like NJ. I
wouldn't take any politicians, because I would like to have friends of
integrity accompany me. I *certainly* wouldn't take any trashy Jerry
Springer folks like Sarah Palin or loud-mouthed blowhards like Bill
O'Reilly.

I'd probably start selecting my crew from those folks at Bahia Mar

So, you would take Pelosi over Palin, and Olbermann over O'Rielly? A
corpse and a panty waste over a "living woman" and a real man?

Wow!?

Please re-read for content: "I wouldn't take any politicians....."
(and that includes Pelosi and Olbermann (who technically isn't even a
politician(I wonder why he was chosen?)).

I offered who I *would* take and that crowd includes *no*
politicians.... *geeze, you guys have to politicize everything. Palin
is just trailer trash and O'Reilly can't even be polite to his guests,
unless you enjoy the cacophony of him yelling over top of his "them."
Why the hell even have them on, if you won't let them talk? *Would you
*really* like to take somebody like that on a cruise with you? You'd
never get a word in edgewise. Maybe you are thinking of getting "cozy"
with Palin?

I'll stick by my selection.... its my cruise.....

I didn't give it conscious thought, but maybe it's a metaphor for
America. That the GB 47' Heritage. Good boat?
But look how it's equipped and crewed.
Anyway, take from it what you will.

Seeing this is some perverted fantasy cruise, I could see having a
couple politicians on board. Especially like Gene said "It's my
Cruise"

I'd pick John Kerry an John McCain.

Both Vets.
Both Navy.
Both respected officers.


I'm not a fan of either's politics, but I look at it like this. Being
a Swift boat captain in the brown water navy, and the other a jet
fighter pilot/ POW, you'd have to know how to read the water and make
good judgment in emergency cases. Both have done so in their own
right. Kerry as a Swifty under fire and McCain as a POW.

Either could pilot. Preferably Kerry though and McCain the navigation
officer.

No Palin (Olive Oil) and no Pelosi (Sea Hag)
