Last evening - Thursday 27JUN2002 - I went to Reagon National Airport to pick up my wife. She was coming in from Pittsburg. Well, due to the storms in Pittsburgh and then in the DC area the plane was delayed - a total of six hours! Anyway, while I was waiting at the gate for her plane - gates 33-45, concourse C - around 1930 there was a big rush. People were coming off a flight and I stood up so that I could ask someone what flight it was. Then a whole bunch of security people and airport cops through and they were around Bill Clinton.
He walked right in front of me and then stopped to speak to some black women. One of them put her arm around him and he her and they got a snapshot. What was funny was she was a heavy set black and he did it very fast. On the way out, there was a pretty white woman in cut off jeans, looked to be in her 20's, and man did he stop and chat with her for about 10-15 seconds.
My impressions. As I was standing there I thought to myself that he really is not that tall. Or I am taller than I thought. I am 6-3 and he looked short. I wonder if he and the press lied about his height - 6-2 - also, like everything else. Maybe that is why he liked to have short poeple around him all the time. Anyway, I wanted to say something - a boo, the name Junatia, or just say rapist out loud. Fact is, I was a little scared to do so. I did not need any hassle from airport security and I did not want to put my wife in jeapordy. Anyway, he shook a few hands, eyed the woman in the cut-offs, and then was gone. I looked around and maybe not surprisingly, I seemed to be the only one disgusted with the whole shebang. One guy said that he didn't want to wash his hand after Clinton shook it. I told my wife later that maybe that guy would have second thougths if he found out Clinton was at the sink before he got off the plane.
Around 2115, a woman sitting next to me pointed John Kerry out to me and she said "there goes the next President of the United States." I guffawed and said "I doubt it." She would not speak to me after that. About 15 minutes after that I saw a woman exiting from the gate that I thought maybe was Ann Coulter. Tall, slender, leggy, and blonde. Did not get a good look at the face. Maybe it was her, maybe not.
Well folks, there was my chance to Freep the Creep and I blew it. I told my wife later, of all the ex-presidents to meet, it had to be that scumbag. I would rather meet Ford than that creep.
The former rock star president and his groupies..how gross!!!
How did you manage to get all the way to the gate? Did you have a boarding pass/ticket/travel agent itinerary? If not, you violated airport security. Storm troopers will be arriving shortly...
I wouldn't bother washing mine, either. I'd just have it taken off.
Just curious, how did you get onto the concourse with out a ticket?
Saturday, I have to drop my two boys off a D/FW airport for a flight to MA and Sunday I have to pick my inlaws from the same. I would like to be able to get to the gates. The boys are 14 and 15 and they may say that they are too old for an escort to the gates.
No mystery there...
I've asked myself what I would do in such a circumstance, and the answer is, I have a family and don't want to go missing or be hassled during a Hillary administration.
You'd probably even rather meet Jimmeh Carter!
Smart move not to say anything. He's a vindictive cuss.
John Kerry ?? ?? Yuck !!
