Zguy28 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15607080/ Politically incorrect An encounter with a big-mouthed senator COMMENTARY By James Wysong Travel columnist The senator was the last to board the flight. I was a passenger in the first class seat next to him. We had been waiting on him to close the doors and get on our way. The plane took off, and he and I had a couple of ****tails together and engaged in polite conversation. Before the meal service, a man from the economy section brought his 6-year-old son up to meet the great man.“Hey, sonny, what do you want to be when you grow up?” asked the slightly inebriated lawmaker as he patted the boy on his head. “I want to be a pilot or a senator just like you.” “Well, you’d better stay in school or else you may end up being a flight attendant instead,” he said. I almost choked on an ice cube. This is clearly a guy who needs to watch what he says. Besides, he hadn’t eaten yet, and a flight attendant working the flight overheard the comment. I pondered the path his entree would take before it got to him. We continued chatting through another ****tail. The pilot came out of the ****pit to use the lavatory. She was pretty, black and fairly young. I looked at the senator’s face and saw the scowl appear. “You see that pilot?” he asked me, leaning closer. “The only reason she is up there is because of affirmative action.” I could not believe that a man who is supposed to be a people person was talking like this. I don’t care how much alcohol he had had — there was no excuse for that kind of behavior. He was speaking to a complete stranger. I could have been a reporter. The confidential chat came to a halt when he asked the question I had been waiting for. “So what do you do for a living?” “Actually, I am a flight attendant,” I replied. He began to stir in his seat and I could tell he was getting uncomfortable. “And the pilot,” I added, “is my wife.” She wasn’t, but that ended the conversation. It was the first time I had seen a politician at a loss for words. Wonder who it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If he was the last one on the plane, how did the guy in economy know he was in first class? And since when do they allow the riff-raff to wonder into first class to bug the snobs? :bsflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 JFK probably??? Assuming that this isn't BS, you have the right state, the right family, and the right generation; but the wrong individual.... I would suggest that Senator EDWARD Kennedy would be the prime suspect in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah - because we all know how racist and sexist those darn Kennedys are. rince, I have no love for the Kennedy family. I never have and never will. I think that's well known. Hell, my Father's last words to me before I moved to Massachusetts were "If you ever vote for Ted Kennedy, I'll shoot you myself." However, if even half of the unsubstantiated stories I've heard about Edward Kennedy while living in this state are true, he deserves to be locked up in a cell for a very long time. Not to mention the things we can PROVE that he's done over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that even though there is a lot you can fault them for - being racist and/or sexist is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
