The Goron held up a newspaper in front of his face & pretended to read it the whole time--but he was turning the pages every five seconds and he kept one eyeball uncovered so he could look over each passenger as they walked by. It was a really wierd thing to watch.

My first reaction upon reading this was that The Larch was checkout out the passengers in hopes that one would turn out to be a terrorist hijacker. He would then triumphantly leap up from his seat, subdue the attacker, and become a National Hero so as to help out any residual presidential aspirations The Larch might still have.

When the plane landed, he grabbed his lock-box and was the first guy off the plane (of course).

That was too funny. Thanks for the great post!

He is a democrat. He would never try to subdue the attacker. He would question whether there was sufficient evidence that the alleged perpetrator was in fact a terrorist. He would need proof before taking any action. And who is to say that there was any sort of terrorist threat. Maybe it is a republican ploy to distract attention from the economy.

Being a democrat means never having to say, "let's roll."
