No, President Bush was not wrong. He said he would be "madder then hell" if his USSS agent was blocked from flying because of racial profiling. The fact (or allegation) is that the agent was blocked from flying because of his abusive and unprofessional behavior, REGARDLESS of his ethnicity.

Time for the apocalypse ... I agree with you.

CNN has been giving lots of airtime everynight this week on this, all one sided of course..even my step-dad, huge demoRat supporter notice their liberal slant and agrees with the pilot.

. You’re on this flight. The Captain comes on the intercom and delivers the following announcement:

Ladies and gentlemen, before we depart I would like to make the following announcement. We have a passenger on this aircraft who is carrying a gun. He says that he’s a Secret Service Agent. He has tried three times to submit the paperwork that would authorize him to board this flight with a loaded firearm. Each time he has filled out the paperwork incorrectly. He appears to me to be nervous and anxious. I believe he has been acting in a belligerent manner. I’m going to allow him to remain on board because he is of Middle Eastern descent and I’m concerned that if we deny him his seat he might file a lawsuit against this airline claiming racial profiling. Before we close the doors and push back I’m going to allow any of you who would like to take a later flight to grab your stuff and leave.”
Just how many people do you think will be on that flight?

I'm glad someone else gets it.

Aside from his alleged behavior aboard the aircraft, the action the he took afterward disturbs me even more. What's the the deal with all the attorneys? It is clear that the agent is looking out for #1, which in my mind disqualifies him from the honor and dignity of his post.

You are absolutely right. It looks like this SS agent was just looking for trouble ... early retirement ????
