Puke. I guess Planned Parenthood International was already in use.

I still think Thurgood Marshall didn't deserve to be on the court, and it was a dang shame that he got on.

If the GOP had acted like the dems today, they would have filibustered him.

I'm from Maryland and this is SO STUPID!!!!!!!!

It's such a long name. Well, it's always been called BWI and so everyone will continue to call it BWI.

Ehrlich is such a RINO!

I hope Lt. Governor Michael Steele runs for Senate. I really like Steele.

Why did they have to put it on the end?!!!! That makes it even more stupid. If they absolutely HAD to rename it, then it should have been the Thurgood Marshall-Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

No. It used to be "Friendship Airport"! I liked that and was sorry they changed it.

I said it wrong. For many years, it's been called BWI so everyone will still probably call it BWI.

I always preferred it's origonal name.1946

Master plan for a new airport in Maryland complete. The Baltimore Aviation Commission selects 3,200-acre site in the vicinity of Friendship Church, Anne Arundel County, 10 miles south of Baltimore and 30 miles north of Washington, D.C.

1947

Construction on new airport begins and is officially named Friendship International Airport.

Because the front end is reserved for Robert C. Byrd -- eventually it will be "The Robert C. Byrd Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport"

Politicians pandering to black dem voters will be naming airports for mailmen on unindicted NBA ball players soon. Can you imagine what the black racist thugs would do.say if, in 20 years, some airport changed it's name the Clarence Thomas International Airport?

At least they did not call it Kunte Kinte International Airport and put a statue of Alex [Plageriser] Haley there.

Small favors!

I'm sure it chaps our Congressman's a$$ that he couldn't get it named Elijah Cummings International Airport.
