Navy Wants a Bush Carrier, and why we should never have a USS Clinton

CBS reports that the Navy seeks a Nimitz class carrier named after George H.W. Bush, the 41st President. Bush was a WWII war hero, negotiated the trecherous post-Cold War, lead the first Anti-Saddam Coallition, and was well regarded by the military. He makes a better candidate for a carrier the Ronald Reagan, who none the less strove to build a 600 ship navy.

William Jefferson Clinton had no military service, avoided foriegn policy, showed no backbone in Somolia, and was generally disliked by the military. If we are ever handed a USS Clinton by a democratic administration, I think we should demand equal time and insist on the Richard Nixon School of Journalism at the most liberal university in the Ivy League.
