"Lautenberg complaining that a fat woman couldn't run.

That was no woman, that was Hillary.

Actually, a small plane packed with C4 would have to be extraordinarily lucky to do serious damage to the White House.

The White House is a pretty large building, and there are hardened parts to it.

Explosives can do alot of damage, but usually only in the immediate vicinity, planning for and using them takes alot of thought and practice.

"Plane on the ground," as of 12:37 pm, per CNN.

"Airplane penetrated clear no-fly zone...Transponder should have kept plane out of DC airspace."

What happened to that plane? Did it fly through a food processor or something?

It was rumored on the web is was a jealous husband taking a chainsaw to his wife's flight instructor's plain.

The truth is, however, another plane, with brake not properly engaged, rolled into it, the prop cutting it nicely.

The combined IQ of Capitol Hill . . . not bigger than a 2 digit number . . .

Uhhhhh . . . I'd think that the combined IQ of Capitol Hill would be a potential resource for antimatter.

Or some potential experiments with very small black holes?

Or an slightly natural IMPLOSIVE DEVICE?

In my building, everyone - male or female - is encouraged to keep a pair of comfortable, sturdy walking shoes in their cubicle, mainly in case of earthquake, which might put down heavy debris and require people to walk home.

The plane came from Lancaster, Co. Pa. I lived in the adjacent county of York, PA. Lancaster is about a 2-1/2 hr drive from DC. Not far by air.

re: Many functions of government and commerce rely on private aircraft.)))

Mostly it devolves to the prerogatives to hobby pilots and GA lobbies. I wonder who was relying on this Newly Famous pilot?

At least when Fox News terrorist expert was asked about the Senator's charges that they have no evacuation plans, he mentioned that they could be using this as a "political" jab. He doubts that there has never been any talk of evacuation plans....

Thank you, Fox for having at least ONE person that will admit that Lautenberg would "use" this as an excuse to BLAME BUSH!

Perhaps you need to ask your PCP to refer you to a gastroenterologist?

Who would the left have blamed if Gore had been president in 2001?

Gingrich and Bush (or whoever Gore would have beaten in this hypothetical nightmare)

Check out my profile. I'm one of those F-16 guys and on alert as we speak. Very concerned for a few minutes but situation under control ASAP. Never a real threat.

You make a good point. But I think the islamonazis would love to smack a plane into the Capitol even if they just left a red smear on it.

I'm fat. When a, um, friend's mortar got a little misguided at our Independence Day celebration two years ago I looked like Bruce Jenner.

Adrenaline is a wonderful thing!
