HLN’s Robin Meade to tandem jump with George H.W. Bush for His Birthday
Friday, June 12, 2009
George H.W. Bush is going to celebrate his 85th birthday Friday in style. Bush Sr., is a veteran skydiver has made some tough jumps especially as a 20-year-old Navy pilot in World War II when he was shot down over the Pacific. But the sky dive he will make on his birthday should be a lot more fun with Headline News anchor Robin Meade strapped to him for a tandem jump. I guess this will be George’s ‘Private Stimulus .’ In return Meade will get to interview Bush Sr. before they make the jump.
“It is both a thrill and an honor,” Meade said in a release. “Anchoring four hours of live television is an adrenaline rush most days, but this tandem jump with President Bush will be a new level of excitement, I’m sure.”
And George’s wife probably won’t be too jealous as the cast of playhouse production of “A Chorus Line” were invited to the Bushes’ private vacation home in Maine yesterday to celebrate Barbara’s 84th birthday.
