AIR HILLARY

PASSENGERS on an American Airlines flight to San Diego that was delayed for over an hour would have been dismayed to learn the real cause of the holdup. The flight out of JFK the other night sat on the tarmac without explanation until an hour and a half after the scheduled departure time. A few people in first class found out the reason for the delay when an unapologetic Hillary Clinton and her entourage of flunkies and bodyguards hurried onto the plane so she could make it to a book signing for "Living History." An AA rep said they don't comment on passengers, but disputed the account, insisting, "Our policy is not to hold planes for anyone."

Had a similar thing happen to me a couple years ago. Stopover in Atlanta on a flight from NY to MS. Sat on the tarmac nearly an hour until Congressman Pickering boarded the flight.

All the airlines will tell you they don't do such a thing, but they do.

No, of course they don't hold up flights for anyone. It was just one of those unbelievable coincidences that the plane sat there for an hour and a half, and Hitlery just happened to be at the airport and said, "Hey, you know, what the heck, I think I'll, you know, go for a ride. So she just happened to get on the plane just as it was about to, you know, take off.

Did they charge lardbutt double for taking up two seats?

I want to know why The Queen has to bother with a commercial flight. Can't she get a private plane?

[glock rocks]

on the opening of Fox and Friends, the first story teaser is Ahnold... the second is Hillary holding up the AA flight!

[laredo44]

Think I'll send American a note that since my planned trip to Florida next month requires a stopover -- no non-stops by any airline -- I won't be travelling with them as any hour delay to wait for Hillary will jeopardize me making my connecting flight.

[TomGuy]

Well, now, you can't be too hard on the Queen of the Senate. After all, she did allow the commoners to remain in coach for the flight. See how magnanimous her majesty was. She didn't make them leave the plane for her flight.

The reports of coach passengers required to kneel and kiss her majesty's hand were exaggerated. They only had to kiss her ring.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Why did she need to fly on a plane? Was her broom in the shop for repairs? Anyway, I hope they sat her wide ass in the center of the plane, so as not to cause any undue tipping over.

[NYC GOP Chick]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

[murdoog]

Actually that is probably the most flattering picture of the Hildebeast I've ever seen. She looks kinda human.

Glad someone reported it!

Bump!

[gridlock]

BTW: Regarding Bloomburg. You were right. I was wrong.

And that's the last time anybody here will hear that out of me!!!

[NYC GOP Chick]

What was I right about? :)

[gridlock]

An AA rep said they don't comment on passengers, but disputed the account, insisting, "Our policy is not to hold planes for anyone."

I would hardly call this a disputation of the account. All the AA rep is saying that they don't hold flights as a matter of policy. However, on a case-by-case basis, you can be quite sure they will hold a flight for Queen Hillary!.

BTW, has anybody ever heard of Hillary! or Bubba having ever been on time for anything in their entire lives? Momma always taught me that promptness is one way to pay respect to the person you're meeting, and that the polite thing is to arrive five minutes early for any meeting, cool your heels for a while, and arrive spot on-time.

[gridlock]

You were maintaining that Bloomburg was worse than the Democratic alternative, and that anybody who supported Bloomburg in the last NYC Mayor's race was a moron. (Though you phrased it nicer than that).

What can I say, you were right.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I totally forgot that, but I did know that I was right! ;) I'm just sorry that I was proven right in this case.

But anyway, thanks for brightening my day a little bit. You're very kind and gracious to remember that.

Their "policy" may not be to hold planes, but their "practice" sure seems to be.
