Two caveats:

1) not on my dime
2) no economic screwing of the taxpayer in between orgasms.

Have a nice day

Republicans won’t be. Life may not be fair, but life is GOOD!

But since you brought up the question of what I want, let me add a couple of other things I want:

(1) I want the Repubs to ride this ‘Drill Here Drill Now’ thing to a McCain victory, and a retaking of both House and Senate.
(2) I want the Cowboys to show some guts in the playoffs.
(3) I want my Supra to run.
(4) I now have changed my mind on the Veepstakes, and I want McCain to choose Fred.

In McCain’s spacious first class area, there are 12 plush leather seats for the candidate, his wife and senior staffers. The “straight talk” area features a long leather bench and another first class seat which McCain sits in when he talks to the press – or would, if he used the area.

Since they acquired the plane with its specially modified area, McCain has spoken to the press there precisely once, over a month ago. All of these sections are separated by curtains, which are always shut as tightly as possible as soon as the plane takes off in order to keep the different sections of the plane from interacting with each other.

Get some.

Oh, and

The plane, a Boeing 757-200 built in 1990…Interior designers divided the 94-seat plane into five cabins. Kerry’s front VIP cabin has six seats. A conference room has eight seats and two tables. Eight campaign staffers occupy a third cabin. The news media are allotted 72 seats in two rear compartments….The aircraft formerly flew the colors of Avianca, Colombia’s national airline. Now, the white-painted sides are emblazoned with “John Kerry” and “President…..George W. Bush used a similarly configured Boeing 757 during the 2000 campaign. Now he commands the much grander Air Force One. “

Tell me, does that make John Kerry and George Bush presumptuous and uppity?

The simple fact is, McCain doesn’t let reporters up to his straight talk express area, so they haven’t got a clue what’s in there, and this is another opportunity for some “uppity” talk.

I’m lovin’ it.

So now that you’ve read a couple of responses that tell you exactly what kind of accommodations McCain is flying in, are you humble enough to admit that you said something stupid?

The 757 has the right balance of operating costs and capabilities (especially its thrust, which makes takeoffs easier in mountainous areas with short runways) for cargo missions.

Strangely, the staggering success of the 737 series spelled trouble for the 757. With a much larger installed base, the 737 has huge economies of scale when it comes to parts and service, and its smaller size makes it easier to fly profitably. As airlines increasingly opted for the 737, Boeing took the 75 out of production.
