   LEFT WING PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
      
      
   Mechanical Problem Found on Air Force One

   OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - A left-wing conspiracy? On Monday, a flap on the   
   wing of Air Force One left its track, forcing President Bush (news -   
   web sites) to return from Oak Ridge, Tenn., in a smaller presidential   
   plane, a Boeing 757 rather than the 747 he arrived in.   
      
   Just over a week earlier, on the Fourth of July, a problem with an   
   engine starter valve on the wing of his plane - this time a 757 -   
   delayed Bush's departure from Hagerstown, Md. Another plane from the   
   presidential fleet was flown in from Andrews Air Force Base to take   
   him on to West Virginia.   
      
   Two different planes. Two different wings. Both times they were left   
   wings.   
      
   The plane troubles for the Republican president apparently were just a   
   coincidence. And the White House said neither malfunction endangered   
   Bush.   
      
   "One of the flaps on the wing was off its track and they thought it   
   was best to have a 757 fly down from Andrews," White House press   
   secretary Scott McClellan said Monday.   
      
   The replacement plane arrived moments before Bush's motorcade rolled   
   onto the tarmac at McGhee-Air National Guard Base near Oak Ridge. The   
   crew hustled to transfer lunch - pita bread filled with chicken salad   
   - onto the substitute aircraft as the hobbled larger Air Force One   
   taxied down the runway to be repaired.
