Dear White House, More Difficult to Construct Analogies Please

Bush Administration DOD decides to SINK AMERICA.

The Navy plans to send the retired carrier USS America to the bottom of the Atlantic in explosive tests this spring, an end that is difficult to swallow for some who served on board.

And within the story the jokes keep coming down the middle of the plate:

The Navy’s plan raises mixed emotions in Ed Pelletier, who served on the America as a helicopter crewman when the ship cruised the Mediterranean shortly after its commissioning in 1965.

He said he was “unhappy that a ship with that name is going to meet that fate, but happy she’ll be going down still serving the country.”

Insert Monica Lewinsky and/or JimmyJeff joke here.
