U.S.Navy welcomes the USS Bill Clinton
Sunday July 2nd, 2007; Vancouver , BC, Headed for Seattle, WA., the US Navy welcomed the latest member of its fleet today.

The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver, BC.



The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton "for his foresight in military budget cuts" and his conduct while president.

The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots.

It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck form a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board.

The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation.

This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs!

An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.

The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense, but instead in times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada.

The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party Headquarters for photo-ops.



Sorry It just wouldn't let me post the 2 pics.
I'll post in my pics if you want or E them..

The USS William Jefferson Davis Clinton and The Democratic National Headquarteers together might make a GOOD Target Area for Bombing Practus...


Let's see if thay can Translate That...

USS Bill Clinton, OMG, this has got to be a jock...Please say it ain't so.

The pics are in my profile pics..

Catch...LMAO glad you posted pics...thanks

lol do they launch tin cans from rubber bands off that garbage barge or what?

Yes and it's radar picks up "right wing conspiracys"..oh wait..thats right....thats from inside the ship...

"right wing conspiracies"....do they have a manual they follow or does the ship come equipped with it's very own "voices".

they just keep repeating the message so that eventually everyone will believe the story.

It's his playboy party boat!

is he a member of the redneck yacht club? lol

If this is his Playboy Party Boat, perhaps Monica was the only time He got Lucky in his entire LIFE!!! :

You don't think he can hang out with Hugh Heffner & cruise the Islands huh!!

Hey to defend the clinton boat.....the cruiser was always hardest to find in battle ship

Hey! If he claims it as a Island, Then has to have security for it, So hook it to a couple barges. He can then charge them Dock rental.. hmmm the possablities here...

The newly commissioned U.S.S. George Bush Jr.

Runs entirely on Arabian peninsula oil, no diesel.

Costs 100 billion dollars a month to run.

Is deployed off the coast of Iraq to help with the 'surge'.

All the sailors carry gold plated guns made
by Halliburton. They frequently misfire.

There is no armor or reinforcement in the
metal of the ship, which is made of aluminum foil.

Is on it's fifth deployment.

No shore leave is allowed. Ever.

You know, I think that Clinton Garbage Skauw would LOOK really Good out in The Middle of The Mojavi Desert defending The Rattle Snakes from E.T.

not sure why they continue to dump money into navy vessels when they know that
there are plenty of cruise missiles & others that could take them out with little
effort...they look great...but in times of real war may prove obsolete....
