WASHINGTON -- Former San Jose mayor and U.S. Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta, who already has an airport named after him, received yet another honor Friday when the House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing his career accomplishments.
Sponsored by his close friend, Rep. Mike Honda, D-San Jose, the resolution "honors the accomplishments and legacy of a great American hero ... for his groundbreaking contributions to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community and to our nation through his leadership."
It was the first time in recent history that the House has honored a living former member of Congress with a resolution, according to Honda's office.

79 and not one to slow down, even tho he has had series back problems, Norm is vice chairman in the Washington office of Hill & Knowlton, a communications consulting firm.. or sumthin’.
I don’t honor bureaucrats. They do more harm than good.
Norm Maneta made sure that only four Muslim men could be screened at Logan airport on Sept 11, 2001.
Nothing new, except that in this case the liberals patting each other on the back for being so liberal are in politics instead of the ‘fine’ arts. Rush has long said that politics is simply Hollywood for ugly people and Norm Mineta pretty much exemplifies that maxim.
An airport named after him? So exactly where IS this 'Douchebag International Airport", anyway? Until today, I'd never HEARD of it?
lol.. I flew it into it in ‘73,, it was a tiny thing then.. they just christened a new hugh terminal , knocked down the old one.. it’s still SJC on the luggage tag
Norm is an offshoot of the local Japanese community. He’s been sucking up to folks for years and done well.. better that the Congre$$ go about doing the peoples business and not spend time ladling out accolades.. enough already.
Especially this one. He is a total lunatic. Thank him if you love not being able to profile.

So, they’re honoring this loser Mineta for turning our airports into the intake section of a county jail?
No more wasting time congratulating fellow parasites until you've got a balanced budget, OK?
Now don't make me come up there and stab some sense into y'all.
