Yet another Democrat barreling through a security checkpoint. Why do so many Demicrats feel that laws and security measures don't apply to them?

He sounds like a male version of House MINORTY leader Pelosi (who was the House minority leader before Pelosi?? Anyone know??) I suggest that INS officers at the checkpoint blow out all four of this ideiot's tires.

Psst! Here's the secret of Bob Filner's success: There are 2 million Filipino Americans in America. There are approximately 96,000 of them in San Diego County, and more than half in Filner's district (more than any other congressional district outside of Hawaii). I live about 40 miles from 'Dego, but I heard from friends that this man is earning his keep the old fashioned way: co-sponsoring the Filipino Veteran Equity Act (thousands fought side by side with America in the Philippines during WWII -- and the vets have never gotten their medical and pension benefits); attending baptisms as godfather; going to Filipino social gatherings ('fiesta'), and basically doing what a Filipino politician does back home. At his last campaign, Filipinos, Democratic and Republicans alike, came to support him in massive numbers.

It's the Teddy Kennedy standard. The rules only apply to YOU, the taxpaying law-abider. To do otherwise would assume a level of intelligence not allowed us lower-level life forms.

In his Curriculum Vitae, you forgot to mention that he's a Fellow of The Patrick J. Kennedy School of Airport Manners. Being from California, he especially thankful for The Honorable Congressman Kennedy's efforts on how to treat marginally paid minority workers recorded for the masses at LAX. The PJKSAM Committee will forgive your oversight.

You are aright jigsaw. Scholastic smarts does not preclude a person having good old common sense.

That quality, common sense, seems to be the major characteristic missing from democrats - in general.

I know of Mr. Filner - he's a rep in a nearby section of San Diego. He and Roger Hedgecock butt heads quite frequently.

"It's the Teddy Kennedy standard. The rules only apply to YOU, the taxpaying law-abider. To do otherwise would assume a level of intelligence not allowed us lower-level life forms."

How true. Since Democrats are the self styled elite rulers of humanity, they are therefore above such petty things as rules and laws. How dare we, the unwashed, uneducated masses, question their ultimate authority! After all, it's for the children!! (**GACK**)

At least he didn't have his driver run down a security guard, a la Hillary.

Sure doesn't make him street smart

...as his bio also states:

As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and the Senior Democrat on the Subcommittee on Health, Bob also will continue his fight for full veterans benefits for Filipino veterans of World War II. In February 2001, he traveled to the Philippines, and was the first U.S. elected official to meet with new Philippines President Maria Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
