Fuckin' shit up wherever they go.

You may remember the costs associated with presidential visit to the Lacrosse Wisconsin area. Well a recent visit to New Mexico resulted in loads of damage to the local airport runway. From a commentor at DailyKos.......

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - It’ll cost at least $1 million to repair a runway at the Las Cruces International Airport damaged during President Bush’s recent visit to the state.

Officials say the damage apparently was caused last Thursday during the landing of a C 32 A airplane that accompanied President Bush’s visit. The airplane is a military version of a Boeing 757 jetliner.

A deep set of tire ruts highlighted by dark skid marks extend more than half a mile down the runway.

Facilities director Brian Denmark says city staff made it clear to the pilots and the president’s travel team that the airport could not handle the weight of a 757.

The city has closed the runway indefinitely. The airport has three runways.

Suprise of suprises, warned of danger ahead of time what does BuschCo do? Disregard that which it does not want to hear. I wonder if any of my tax pennies will be involved in the repair effort. What an arrogent piece of crap.
