[net.politics] The Great Communicator Sells 007 for United Air Lines

(To the eater of fist lines)

Well I thought I saw everything till flying back from Chicago who did I
see speaking on the DC-10 TV screen. You guessed it! The President of the
United States, none other than Ronald Raygun. Well I grabbed my ear phones
and found the right channel to see what the president had to say. Well,
it seems that 007 in both incarnations (Sean what his name and that other
what's his name) (is?) are just the greatest, sexiest, masculine spy(s)
with licenses to kill! Now if Casey and (that's not Stengle) would just
hire him (them) to work for they CIA may Ronald Raygun, wouldn't have to
exercise his option and draft Marcus Allen (Tom Flores can stop shaking
and that big bad Raider manager can stop thinking of putting out a
contract on RR <satire for the football fans>).

It annoyed the hell out of me that the President of the U.S. would appear
in a commercial for UAL's James Bond festival. It seems we should be
paying the man more and/or he should have better things to do with his
time.
