‘French’ toast to McCain

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/5R2ss--tJ0A" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Check out “Merci McCain,” a sassy YouTube video from the Campaign for America’s Future, that acts as a French “thank you” card to a beret-wearing John McCain for the Airbus tanker deal. “It’s a great day for France,” it declares in French (and subtitles).

    Kansans will still think McCain is great while they are picking up their unemployment checks or saying, “Would you like fries with that?” at their new jobs.

    If you’re concerned about Capability and Survivablility for the crew, looks like Boeing beat Airbus hands down. This was a political (McCain) decision!

    They’ll be saying would you like ‘Freedom Fries’ with that order?

    I heard on bubblevision [cnbc] that Royal Dutch Shell was awarded the contract to supply the air force with fuel. They sound kind of like ferinors, do I detect a trend.

    Maybe Royal Dutch Shell has lobbyists on McCain’s campaign staff just like Airbus does.

    Annie Moose: A story in the Kansas Business Journal of about 2 weeks ago. Bombardier, a Montreal based aircraft manufacturer is planning/investigating a plant in Kansas to eventualy offer over 2000 high paying jobs after an intial investment of about $375 million dollars followed a by another $75 million. Those “great white north” ferinors maybe reversing the trend, hopefully!(giggle)
