In light of the presidential race taking place in 2008, I thought this may be a good read. It was sent to me by my sister about two years ago. Note: before anyone announced their intentions to run for president in 2008.
| Quote: |
YOU WILL FIND THE SECRET SERVICE VIEWS ON THE
PERSONALITIES OF PAST
PRESIDENTS TO BE QUITE INTERESTING.
For those who don't know... Capt. Denny Keast
flies for UAL and flew many SAM's (Special Air
Mission's) for the White House.
********************************************************
I (Capt. Denny Keast) flew 4 Presidential support missions in the
C-141 out of Dover AFB, DE. Two for President
Johnson and two for President Nixon.
Johnson was a first class jerk and on the two occasions I flew for him, if the Secret Service and their Liaison in the Pentagon hadn't intervened, we
would have had to stay on the airplane for hours while he (Johnson) was off somewhere. Nixon never required that and the four (4) stops we made with
him he was cordial to the Secret Service and to me and my crew.
We had a neighbor when I lived in DC who was part of the secret service presidential detail for many years. His stories of Kennedy and Johnson were
the same as those I heard from the guys who flew the presidents' plane
Yes, Kennedy did have Marilyn Monroe flown in for secret "dates," and LBJ was a typical Texas "good ole boy" womanizer. Nixon, Bush 41, and Carter never cheated on their wives. Clinton cheated, but couldn't match Kennedy or LBJ in style or variety.
The information below is accurate: The elder Bush and current president Bush make it a point to thank and take care of the air crews who fly them
around. When the president flies, there are several planes that also go, one carries the armored limo, another the security detail, plus usually a press
aircraft.
Both Bushes made it a point to stay home on holidays, so the Air Force and security people could have a day with their families.
Hillary Clinton was arrogant and orally abusive to her security detail. She forbade her daughter, Chelsea, from exchanging pleasantries with them. Sometimes Chelsea, miffed at her mother's obvious conceit and mean spiritedness, ignored her demands and exchanged pleasantries regardless, but never in her mother's presence. Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted, and lovely young lady. The consensus opinion was that Chelsea loved her Mom but did not like her. Hillary Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those who were charged to protect her life. Her security detail dutifully did their job, as professionals should, but they all loathed her and wanted to be on a different detail.
Hillary Clinton was despised by the Secret Service as a whole. Former President Bill Clinton was much more amiable than his wife. Often the Secret Service would cringe at the verbal attacks Hillary would use against her husband. They were embarrassed for his sake by the manner and frequency in which she verbally insulted him, sometimes in the presence of the Secret Service, and sometimes behind closed doors. Even behind closed doors Hillary Clinton would scream and holler so loudly that everyone could hear what she was saying. Many felt sorry for President Clinton and most wondered why he tolerated it instead of just divorcing his "attack dog" wife. It was crystal clear that the Clintons neither liked nor respected each other and this was true long before the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Theirs was genuinely a "marriage of convenience."
Chelsea was much closer to her father than her mother, even after the Lewinsky scandal, which hurt her gravely. Bill Clinton did in fact have charisma, and occasionally would smile at or shake hands with his security detail. Still, he always displayed an obvious air of superiority towards them.
His security detail uniformly believed him to be disingenuous, false, and that he did nothing without a motive that in some way would enhance his image and political career. He was polite, but not kind. They did not particularly like him and nobody trusted him.
Al Gore was the male version of Hillary Clinton. They were friendlier toward each other than either of them were towards former President Clinton. They were not intimate, so please don't read that in. They were very close in a political way. Tipper Gore was generally nice and pleasant. She initially liked Hillary but soon after the election she had her "pegged" and no longer liked her or associated with her except for events that were politically obligatory.
Al Gore was far more left wing than Bill Clinton. Al Gore resented Bill Clinton and thought he was too "centrist." He despised all Republicans. His hatred was bitter and this was long before he announced for the Presidency. This hatred was something that he and Hillary had in common. They often said as much, even in the presence of their security detail. Neither of them trusted Bill Clinton and, the Secret Service opined, neither of them even liked him. Bill Clinton did have some good qualities, whereas Al Gore and Hillary had none, in the view of their security details.
Al Gore, like Hillary, was very rude and arrogant toward his security detail. He was extremely unappreciative and would not hesitate to scold them in the presence of their peers for minor details over which they had no control. Al Gore also looked down on them, as they finally observed and learned with certainty on one occasion. Al got angry at his offspring and pointed at his security detail and said, "Do you want to grow up and be like them?" Word of this insult by the former Vice-President quickly spread and he became as disliked by the Secret Service as Hillary. Most of them prayed Al Gore would not be elected President, and they really did have private celebrations in a few of their homes after President Bush won. This was not necessarily to celebrate President Bush's election, but to celebrate Al Gore's defeat.
Everyone in the Secret Service wants to be on First Lady Laura Bush's detail. Without exception, they concede that she is perhaps the nicest and most kind person they have ever had the privilege of serving. Where Hillary patently refused to allow her picture to be taken with her security detail, Laura Bush doesn't even have to be asked, she offers. She doesn't just shake their hand and say, "Thank you." Very often, she will give members of her detail a kindhearted hug to express her appreciation. There is nothing false about her. This is her genuine nature. Her security detail considers her to be a "breath of fresh air." They joke that comparing Laura Bush with Hillary Clinton is like comparing "Mother Teresa" with the "Wicked Witch of the North."
Likewise, the Secret Service considers President Bush to be a gem of a man to work for. He always treats them with genuine respect and he always trusts and listens to their expert advice. They really like the Crawford, Texas detail. Every time the president goes to Crawford he has a Bar-B-Q for his security detail and he helps serve their meals. He sits with them, eats with them, and talks with them.. He knows each of them by their first name, and calls them by their first name as a show of affection. He always asks about their family, the names of which he always remembers. They believe that he is deeply and genuinely appreciative of their service. They could not like, love, or respect anyone more than President Bush. Most of them did not know they would feel this way, until they had an opportunity to work for him and learn that his manner was genuine and consistent. It has never changed since he began his Presidency. He always treats them with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion.

Investment Tips for 2006:
For all of you with any money left in the wake of the Exxon/Mobil deal, the AOL/Time Warner implosion, and the Sears/K-Mart wedding, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks. Watch for these consolidations in the near future:
1. Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W. R. Grace Company will merge and become: Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace
2. Polygram Records, Warner Brothers, and Zesta Crackers join forces and become: Poly, Warner, Cracker
3. 3M will merge with Goodyear and issue forth as: MMMGood
4. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota
Mining will merge and become: ZipAudiDoDa
5. FedEx is expected to join its major competitor, UPS, and become: FedUP
6. Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will become: Fairwell Honeychild
7. Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: Poupon Pants
8. Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become: KnottNOW!
9. Victoria's Secret and Smith & Wesson will merge under the new name: T**ty T**ty Bang Bang
In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

I will be playing at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach on Friday, July 31, 2009 with the Madonna Nash Project. If anyone from back home would happen to be in the area, I would be happy to provide complimentary tickets. You can hear our music on Madonna Nash's myspace page. This is my first foray into country music but it's been fun so far.

Hey, Ozzy and Sharon have announced that this summer's Ozzfest will feature free admission. She said she was tired of paying bands over $100,000 for an hour show. Take a look at this interview and see how much System of a Down was paid per show last year.

Hey, has anyone else heard this album?? I highly recommend it, I'm not sure if too many stores are carrying it, though. He does acoustic versions of some Soundgarden and Audioslave songs. He also covers Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, and does a really cool version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean".

Went out Saturday night to catch a band... weren't too many playing (unless you like country). Anyway, ended up in Mt. Savage and caught a little of "Surrender Dorothy". They are basically "Face First" or "Jambo" with the addition of Jimmy House on vocals. Wow!
First off, Jimmy is, has been, and always will be one of my favorite local vocalists. He has added so much to this group... I can't even describe it. They sound like a totally different band. Bruce is a great lead guitarist, but Jimmy's rythmn playing has added ALOT. Props to Jeff... very quick, and yet he pounds the sh*t outta those drums. Kenny had some nice bass runs and his backups were strong.
Those are the positives. Here's what might need some work... and NONE of this is a slam... I'm just looking to help. They NEED a sound guy. Kenny can't do it from the stage... too much goin' on... can't be done. Let Jimmy sing everything! They did a song the other night that I love, and I didn't know what it was for sure until halfway into the first verse. I'm sure this is partially because, when they switched vocalists, the mic volume was low, again... they need a sound guy. That is all the negatives.
These guys are great and only gonna get better as they play together. Check'em out! By the way, the place was packed and people were diggin'em... ALOT... but I wasn't the only one that came up with the suggestions I came up with. I overheard several people saying the exact same thing.
So, again, check these guys out! I hope they're around a LONG time!

(2) Blank unused(new) Tapes
(2) 25-pin to XLR snake looms. One male & one female.
(1) Remote 25-pin connection cable.
These units were expensive when new. Something in the $2000 range and the Remote was something like $450 new.
Asking $500 firm for all.

SOUNDTECH MONITOR SPEAKER --- nice and small personal stage monitor in great working condition with adjustable horn and parallel inputs.

1970S FENDER 12W 1 CH AMP W/PRINCETON REVERB, TREMOLO--- My FIRST EVER ELECTRIC GUITAR AMP. My Mom bought this for me new in 1978 when Commercial Sound was on Greene St./Route 36 in Grahamtown. I've maintained it pretty well over the years and kept it as a backup or home practice amp. Now it must go to please the great god AMEX.

1990S MARSHALL 100W VALVESTATE AMP & 4X12 STACK--- It's been my working amp for about the last 12 years or show and it shows. Externally it looks pretty beaten about and could use a resurfacing, but internally the only flaw is the reverb unit needs repaired. I'll be taking to a friend locally to see if it's a simple fix and get it repaired if I can.

I've also got a couple of nice axes from Jim Corley as well that we'd love to place in a good home.
SAMICK ARTIST SERIES BASS W/ORIGINAL CASE, LIKE NEW!--- great lightweight small scale bass that plays fast and looks sweet with a player under 6' tall (this includes me by the way!).

IBANEZ IC300 ICEMAN KISS PAUL STANLEY GUITAR W/CASE--- need I say more? Plays like the $1K model, looks as nice as the $1K model, doesn't cost as much as the $1K model.

I really am doing this because I have no choice and if there were another viable alternative to eBay I'd use it. I have come to the following conclusions about eBay:
1. eBay has become the replacement for TV entertainment in the U.S. I know for a fact more people "watch" my auctions than bid on them, and they probably spend more time "watching" auctions on eBay than TV.
2. If something is crap you won't sell it on eBay. If something is really great, you'll sell it for crap.
3. Just because an auction ends with a "high bidder" doesn't mean it's sold. eBay bidders are notorious for not feeling obligated to pay for auctions they "got carried away on".
4. "The Powers That Bebay" don't care about your feedback rating, whether you got stiffed by a buyer, or if the buyer "disappears" after the fun of the auction is over. It's a business that makes money through listing fees and commissions and as long as you pay your bill, they are happy. Now if you fail to pay your bill...

A few weeks ago I listed several musical instrument/accessory items for auction on eBay. Quite a few of those items sold, but there were several that did not. We are relisting the unsold items as well as an Ibanez Flanger pedal that was sold but never paid for (courtesy of another ebay deadbeat)

I'll also make the same offer to local buyers as I did before, i.e. waving shipping charges in lieu of in person pick-up. Thanks again for your time!

The Gig Zone 'Marketplace' are the only forums where any commerce of music related items is allowed. On this particular Forum(FOR SALE Forum), you can post FOR SALE, FOR TRADE, etc. You CANNOT post any COMPANY SERVICES AVAILABLE or FOR RENT ads here. Likewise, if you are a retail sales business selling NEW merchandise, you cannot list those items here. You may list any used gear. No links to your retail website is allowed. You may add a link to a webpage that only list your used equipment, as long as it does not contain any reference or links back to your retail website.
If you list (1) For Sale item, and your item has sold, reply and place the word SOLD in the title and no text in the body. A moderator will then delete the post.
If you list (more than 1) item in a post and certain items have sold, please reply and indicate what items are sold.
These rules are subject to change at the discretion of Administration.
