OK guys. Enough fun. For all I know Osteen may just be a swell and sincere guy - a little too coiffed and dressed-up for my taste, but hey - its obviously OK for a lot of folks.

But it does appear that he might not have had the Biblically-required wife control on that flight..

About the subject of "fame", I have had the good fortune to work alongside (and advise) a panoply of top USA Generals, along with numerous Ambassadors and various muckety-mucks from the Balkans and Western Europe.....

The ones that really stood out were those who were very humble and polite, even though they were the "800-pound gorilla" in the room. Like General George Casey, who's been in the news lately...a nicer guy you'll never meet. If your back is turned and you are just listening to him holding a meeting, you would never be able to tell he was the head honcho from the way he treated everyone else - with respect.

I don't know if Mrs. Osteen tried to "pull rank" on the stewardess or not - but I know that this is what would have been called "very bad form" in another time.....

Good night!
