Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if the ATC Call Sign of the plane carrying Bush will be "Air Force One" while transporting his remains.
(neither of the two Air Force One capable planes, tail numbers 28000 and 29000, are designated Air Force One unless POTUS is on board)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThe MSM, to absolutely no surprise, peppered his obituaries with pot shots and fake news. For instance, the New York Times included the debunked myth about how, while running against Bill Clinton for re-election, he stared in bafflement at a grocery store price scanner during a stop at the National Grocers Association in Orlando, Florida which was used to portray him as being an out of touch elitist[1].
[ATTACH=CONFIG]33483[/ATTACH]
The problem with the story is that it was concocted by someone, Andrew Rosenthal, who wasn't even present. He just took a photo taken at the event and fabricated his own account about what took place, and of course nearly all of the MSM gleefully and uncritically repeated it and continued to do so for years to come.
Years later, the reliably liberal Snopes fact checked the account and rated it "False"NewsweekTime
Wikipedia also notes it was fake news stating that
The MSM was also quick to bring up the Willie Horton ad and dutifully repeat the myths that surrounded it as being true.
Willie Horton, a convicted murderer who stabbed a gas station worker to death during a robbery (and serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole), was given furlough from a Massachusetts prison and proceeded to violently attack a couple, including raping the woman, while he was out. Michael Dukakis, then governor of Massachusetts, was a big supporter of such furloughs and was Bush's opponent in the 1988 presidential campaign.
The liberal media accused Bush of injecting racism into the race by bringing it up. But he didn't.
First, it was Al Gore who initially brought it up during a debate in his primary campaign against Dukakis, so if it was racist to mention it then Gore is a racist. But then Gore never brought up Horton's race -- and neither did Bush. The "Willie Horton ad" that used a mug shot of Horton, thus revealing his race, was run by a third party completely independent from the Bush campaign. The ad that was run by the Bush campaign never used the image and never said or even implied that Horton was black.
Of course the MSM never cared about this and claimed that Bush ran the ad showing Horton's mugshot and continues to push that lie even while discussing his passing.
For instance, on This Week, ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd declared that "[Bush is] the one who did the Willie Horton ad" as the reason that he shouldn't be "canonize[d]." Likewise, NBC contributor Heather McGhee while on Meet the Press also blamed Bush for the ad proclaiming that it "was the most famous dog whistle ad until this cycle."
And finally there is Slate magazine, where the headline says it all: "New York Times and Washington Post Obituaries for George H.W. Bush Leave Out Groping Allegations."
[ATTACH=CONFIG]33484[/ATTACH] Wow.

My wife was just notified that she has the day off on Thursday. She works at Texas A&M just about a mile from the Bush Presidential Library where his wife and daughter already lie.
Bush's body will be taken by train to his final resting place on this planet.
The locomotive chosen for his final journey was customized in Bush's honor in 2005 and painted with the number '4141' in his honor. He marveled at its unveiling that year and asked to take it for a ride.
On Thursday his casket will be in a train car with Plexiglas windows to allow people to see it during the trip.
The 41st president died at his Houston home on Friday night, seven months after his wife Barbara passed away.
After services in Washington, there will be another funeral in Houston on Thursday followed by burial at the Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.
Bush will be laid to rest alongside his wife of 73 years and Robin Bush, their daughter who died of leukemia in 1953 at age 3.
