The United States of America is top dog in the world, Right? So how did idiots like this gain positions of authority and free access to lots of lovely tax-dollars, President O'Bama? |
A Washington, DC, airport ticket agent offers some examples of why his country is in real trouble! 1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!) 2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts." 3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. 4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" 5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time." (Aghhhh) 6.An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. 7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" 8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?" 9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Alabama, who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" 10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" 11. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly toChina . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those." 12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino,New York ." Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! |
