This reminds me of someone

| January 17, 2012

Fox News has made public the “black box” recordings of the Italian cruise ship which tipped over and it reminds of someone I can’t quite put my finger on;

I don’t know, they hit a rock that wasn’t supposed to be there. Kind of like the economic problems that no one in this administration could see. And they blamed the rock.

And he’s sitting in a row boat telling everyone he’s coordinating a rescue effort while he’s isolated from the actual danger. I guess that was similar to the “shovel ready projects” we heard so much about.

Refusing to come back on board and do his job, the captain was sorta like throwing lavish White House parties, while the working poor become the non-working poor. Like buying $36 muffin, like “coordinating” a food stamp recovery.

Maybe it’s just me who can’t make the connection. If the captain had only hit a golf ball from his row boat, I’d finally be able to figure out who he reminds me of.

Un-fucking-believable. On both guys.

I’m kinda surprised this captain is still alive. Interestingly enough, and I know this beggars belief, but he was originally hired to assess and manage the ship’s safety systems and programs.

I know, I know……. kinda like that same person you can’t quite put your finger on, eh Jonn?

How… unexpected…

Tim–this guy is a one-man argument for bringing back keelhauling.

And that’s some SERIOUS shit on a 150,000 ton cruise ship.

And here I was making the obvious comparison to Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick…

Me too, Docstew, until Jonn mentioned golf. Teddy was only into waitress sandwiches, as a type of physical activity.

There’s only two possible cures for the gross stupidity of the captain of this ship: election to Congress as a Democrat, or State Chairman of the Ron Paul for President campaign.

No, there’s a third: Maritime Safety Czar in the Obama WH.

I wonder if letters of Marque extend to ship salvage?

“I’m kinda surprised this captain is still alive.”

How the Mafia can rehabilitate their image: publicly whack this guy.
