It's Bush's Fault!

No, not really, but you know some unhinged Bush-hater out there is gonna blast the President for this. Thanks be to God that nobody was injured.*

A JetBlue (search) airliner with faulty landing gear touched down safely Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport (search) after circling the region for three hours with its front wheels turned sideways, unable to be retracted into the plane.

The pilot landed by balancing on the back wheels, then eased onto the front tires, which shot flames along the runway before tearing off. The metal landing gear scraped for the final yards.
