Hmm. What is the point of Neil Cavuto writing this? That there are stupid, nasty inconsiderate men who use airports? Heck, we know that. I just don't get the point of this.
No one is fit to treat someone else like an ass. Unless you're trying to prove to the world, you're the one who's the ass.

Good point, Mr. Cavuto.
The Cosmic Kharma Kitty will visit those guys on day....
And they'll get a nasty dose of their own medicine.
My solution: order up two cups of hot coffee, turn, and OOOOPS!
Then again, my wife insists that domesticating me is her way of protecting civilization.
I guess I don't see why this is something Fox needed to print.
Is he making the point that society thinks it is okay to make fun of fat people? Where did he get that?
There may be people who don't want to sit in an airline seat next to a 400 lb person, and that may bother them with some justification, but I don't think society in general thinks it is okay to make fun of fat people, any more than it is okay to make fun on anyone for any reason.
There are always those who do make fun of others. We have all been subjected to them (or at least most of us)
Interesting how remarks about weight draw sympathy to the over-weight person whereas remarks about smokers is O.K. The anti-smokers should pat their backs for creating the eat-your-own mentality.
Reminds me of when Charles Barkley got mad at sports reporter Peter Vecsey for ragging him about his weight. Charles said, "I can always lose weight, but Peter Vecsey will always be ugly". Great!
I'm afraid I wouldn't be as civil as Neil in this instance.
I would have actually held up the line, invited the woman back and paid for her meal daring those idiots to make any further insults.

It's called "oh lord I promised the editor a column by 3 did anything interesting happen to me lately?" journalism.
Maybe what Neil was trying to say was:
"Keep the words soft and sweet, you'll never know from day to day which ones you'll have to eat"
I feel for that poor lady, and no I only weigh 120 pounds....
Cruelty and lack of manners knows no bounds!
Neil is one of the bright stars of Fox News Channel. He is well informed, thoughtful and a great interviewer. He is likely reacting to the insensitivity of others and how a nasty event in a line can ruin the feelings he had following his interview with the President.
We all get impatient waiting in lines. Doesn't matter if somebody if overweight (I am guilty of that one these days), black, white or purple. Rude behavior is unacceptable in public. These two jerks probably said something many have thought. But I also don't go around telling Sihks something about their turban or a smoker to put it out because it is killing both the smoker and anybody around, even though I may have thought it. Fat people deserve respect the same as anybody else. That means you don't say things behind somebody's back you wouldn't say directly to or about your wife, daughter or mother.
