[Hoot Gibson]

^I still count only one instance of U.S. Marines holding an umbrella for a U.S. President. In this country, Marine "Corpse-men" [sic] are not permitted to carry umbrellas while in uniform. Female members of the "Corpse" [sic] are, under limited circumstances, permitted to carry umbrellas, as long as they meet the Marine Corps' guidelines.

You lied. You were caught. Stating that a Maltese honor guard looks "military" is not an admission of a mistake in anybody's book. At this point, finding 20 pictures of Marines holding umbrellas for George W. Bush will not change that fact. Try to do better next time. nicker:
