If these are true, it is no wonder our country is in so much trouble.
A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in 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 .''
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa ''
his response -- click.
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.
He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
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.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she coudn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
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?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..
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 Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''
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?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. Mary Landrieu, La. Senator called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. 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.''
I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''
12... A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York ..''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''
'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."
''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
Could anyone be this DUMB?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

These people are DUMB, and SCARY that they keep getting elected!!!!
I received this email from about 3 sources today. It is going around like virus..............again.
Look, why would you honestly believe this crap?
This does not need the keyword “banglist”, that is for firearm related articles.
I would bet that most, if not all of those, are false. Funny, yes. True, doubt it.
It went around during Clinton with competely different names. Then under Bush with Republican names.

It sounds like one of those e-mail rumors that can be debunked - but still funny
Fake, but accurate.
I doubt that Feinstein and Landriu have the ability to use a phone unaided.
I got this on e-mail a few weeks ago, too. It’s hilarious, and downright scary.
So maybe this email is false and maybe not.
How about sending the people mentioned the portion of the email that names them to try to substantiate the email.
Oh, and then the liberals will charge someone for slander. Never mind.
This way we can laugh at their expense. And I wouldn’t put it past any of them for this to be “related” to the truth of the situation.
It’s a spoof......
But a good one because it’s almost believable.....
Several points have been raised in the replies.
First, I KNOW this is bogus, that is why it is posted with a HUMOR tag. The problem is, our political “elites” are chock-full of IDIOTS that exhibit even MORE documented OUTRAGEOUS dumbness that that displayed in this email. People like Shiela Jackass Lee, from the great State of Texas. Her dumbness is the stuff of legends. And people like former representative Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. And Henry Waxman of CA, Charlie Rangel of NY, and the list goes on and on.
The very reason it is so funny is because it rings TRUE to people because of the IDIOTS (from both parties) who run for and are elected to the halls of Congress.
I posted it here because it IS funny, and to lighten up things here. There are a lot of serious things going on now in this country, and if people can't take a few minutes to laugh at the jokes that our “representatives” are, then we will ultimately FAIL.
Ridicule is a serious tool that should be employed by our side to highlight the absurdity of the positions of the people attempting their marxist coup.
So, lighten up and enjoy the HUMOR.
Toward FREEDOM
Please don’t post lies.
And if you’re sure they aren’t - all I need is a transcript.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she coudn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
