Pinhead lands on an aircraft carrier christened with the name of his father. The USS Pinhead was commissioned on Saturday by a host of people named Bush. Keeping the string of "presidential Kodak moments" alive, Pinhead and his family landed on the deck of the last of the Nimitz class carriers, the one named after Daddy Pinhead. Daddy fought in the war. Daddy was a pilot. On a mission over the Pacific in September 1944, his plane crashed into the ocean after being hit by Japanese anti-aircraft fire. He parachuted into the sea and was rescued by a Navy submarine. He returned to combat and served until the end of the war. When he grew up, he became President of the United States.
His sons must have heard those stories a lot when they were growing up. Now wonder little Pinhead chose to join the Texas Air National Guard. Over the course of six years, beginning in 1968, he kept the skies over Texas safe from enemy attack, and since nobody really needed him for those last two years, Pinhead did his very best job of phoning it in. This also kept young Pinhead safe from enemy attack in the skies over Vietnam. When he grew up, he became President of the United States.
Back in May, 2003, Pinhead showed off his mad jet-piloting skills by dropping in on the crew of another aircraft carrier named for a Republican president, the USS Abraham Lincoln. The USS Harry Truman was busy at the time filming the Bruce Willis film, "Tears of the Sun." In another thirty years, will Pinhead be landing on another flight deck? Stay tuned for "The Pinhead Legacy."
