Imagine this: You're about to set off with the secretary of state for Central Asia, a destination halfway around the world, on two back-to-back seven-hour flights in a packed 757 -- and the first meal served is a teeming bowl of pork and beans.

As a vegetarian, I've learned to bring a lot of my own food.
Gee, Ms Wright. So why all the crybabying in the first place? Oh, and did they fluff your flight pillow just right?
So why didn't she ask to hold the pork?
This must be satire.
If they fed me pork and beans, I'd eat it. And after two hours or more of being cooped up with me on the plane after that, it would be the last time they fed me pork and beans.
Pork and beans is still a lot better than the HORRIBLE Sloppy Joes they fed us in the high school cafeteria day after day. To this day I still can't bear the sight nor the smell of Sloppy Joes.
I think it was supposed to be humor, but with the Post, you never can tell. I feel like I am dumber for having read that, though. Someone should take Robin Wright's Penn away before his/her next column:
"So what's with grass and it being green? Huh? Huh?"
"How about these eskimos? Huh?"
"Is this thing on?"
And yet the Bush Admin still denies that it authorizes the use of torture!!!!
The wash-press-corpse should book their own flights like the little people do............
Just give them MRE's
Nah, you'd just be riding in Air Force 5 which is an old horsa glider towed behind a Cessna 152 with an oil leak.
Why are we feeding these reporters anyway? Make them brown bag it.
Imagine this: A "reporter" on board without the common sense to capitalize "Secretary of State" when it's used as a title.
Snobs in a Bubble.
"As a vegetarian, I've learned to bring a lot of my own food. "
We had our daughter and new son in law over for dinner the first time. After the meal I asked Cody how he liked the food.
His response- "Makes good poop!"
Dead serious and he certainly didn't mean it as a negative. It was his (humorous) way of saying he liked it.
* He does have a real wierd sense of humor.
I will ask a couple of questions even though I might get flamed.
1. What does a ticket on Air Force 2 cost?
2. Does the secretary get the same thing as these reporters?
3. Does the crew eat the same meal?
4. If they are famous for bad meals , why dont they take a jar of peanut butter and some bread and jam.
I believe these folks get on the plane expecting to be spoiled, after the stories they write I would feed them bread and water in a cell.
Replace all the complainers with reporters who need a job.
NO!!! Feed 'em the beans - the real gassy kind. That'll learn 'em. < From 'Blazing Saddles' > "I'd say y'all've had enuff!"
Spaghetti at my grade school was not fit to clean tank cars with. I still cannot eat it 35 years later.
Just curious - these reporters ARE paying for their flights, right? Because if they aren't, they should be flying commercial. Where I'm sure they'll enjoy the crappy little bag of pretzels they get.
