Default Toppled weather satellite now ready to go

Okay, it took a while to fix it up after they tried to move it around
with the bolts that held it to its service platform removed, but the SOB
is supposed to lift off on Wednesday:

Can you imagine being on of the ground crew when that thing toppled onto
the floor?
Two things must have simultaneously gone though their minds:

1.) "This didn't really happen... it's a bad dream... this is like the
time I showed up in high school debate class with that eel crawling
around inside of my pants."

.....and... seconds later:

2.) "We...are... SO completely ****ED... Oh, God... are we ****ED!
They are going to tear our ****ing heads off over this... who was
responsible for this?
It sure as hell wasn't me, was it?
It was.......George... that was who responsible for this, wasn't it?
YES... no one likes George... this was all GEORGE's fault, wasn't it?
YES!
That's THE ****ING KEY!
George, you ****er...you had this coming for a mighty long time, didn't
you?
You worthless ****ing *******!" :-)

Are you now or have you ever been, a member of the Republican party?
