Fisk Univ. president escorted off flight
Seattle PI ^ | July 23, 2004

Posted on 07/23/2004 7:19:49 PM PDT by traumer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Fisk University's new president, Clinton administration Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary, was escorted off a flight and questioned by the FBI after she became abusive and tried to get into the cockpit while the plane was delayed on the tarmac, authorities said.

O'Leary said she simply wanted to get off the plane.

"I regret the unfortunate misunderstanding that occurred," she said in a statement. "The situation was resolved. At no time was I rude or disrespectful to anyone."

The United Airlines crew told police that O'Leary was "getting loud and abusive" after the flight was diverted to Richmond, Va., because of storms Thursday night, said Cpl. Frank Donkle of the Richmond International Airport Police.

A flight attendant restrained O'Leary when she tried to get into the cockpit, Donkle said, and she was escorted off the Nashville-to-Washington flight and questioned by the FBI.

Airport spokesman Troy Bell said he was not aware of any charges filed.

O'Leary, 67, became president of Fisk, in Nashville, earlier this month.

Can't believe the stupid cow thought she could just barge into the cockpit, lol! Even before 9/11, that'd raise eyebrows. Sheesh.

She's a Democrat. A liberal. She worked for Sick Willy for crying out loud!
What's your name, boy? Who do you think you are questioning a Clintonista?

Just one more reason that Gorelick Memo was vital to the BHillary Clinton administration.

Los Alamos security scandal in the news lately had me wondering where that silly/treasonous woman had "fetched up".

Being a rational human being, I just assumed she would keep a very low profile for the rest of her life - but no, she's a clintonista so of course, she lands something cushy like a university presidency. Is there no justice?

SEPTEMBER 19-25, 1994 : (HAZEL O'LEARY IS IN PAKISTAN) Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary led a presidential mission on energy investment in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan September 19-25, 1994. Stephen Wiel, who heads the Energy and Environment Division's Washington D.C. Project Office, participated in the mission. It was the first visit to Pakistan by a U.S. cabinet member for a nonmilitary purpose: to build economic bridges and an enhanced business relationship between the two countries. -- "News From the D.C. Office: Presidential Mission on Energy Investment in Pakistan," CBS Newsletter, Winter 1995, pg. 3 , http://eetd.lbl.gov/newsletter/cbs_nl/nl5/dcoffice.html

JANUARY 5, 1996 : (TRANSCRIPT CONCERNING O'LEARY)
REP. RICHARD ZIMMER, (R) New Jersey: (January 5, 1996) There are hundreds of thousands of dollars that are completely unaccounted for of the expenditures that she made in her trips overseas. She spent more days out of the country than in the country--Vienna, three times to beautiful Vienna, one time with an entourage so large that a diplomat from the United States wired back to the State Department that the size of her entourage exceeded critical thermonuclear mass. Moscow--four times. London, Brussels, Florence, Hong Kong, Prague, Costa Rica, the Ivory Coast. Mr. Speaker, it is time for Hazel O'Leary to go.

MARGARET WARNER: Congressional opponents criticized her penchant for first class flights, five-star hotels, and occasional chartered airplanes, including the MGM Grand plane once used by rock star Madonna. O'Leary responded by saying she often pays the cost of these upgrades, herself.
Two weeks ago, the Energy Department's inspector general issued a report on O'Leary's travel--a 182-page analysis compiled at O'Leary's request documented the cost of her sixteen foreign trips, including the four trade missions to India, Pakistan, China, and South Africa. The inspector general found that the 16 foreign trips cost taxpayers more than $4.5 million. The four trade missions alone cost $3.4 million. The breakdown of taxpayer-funded costs included the following: about $600,000 for her trip to South Africa, which included O'Leary and 63 staffers, close to $700,000 for her trip to India, which included nearly $500,000 for a chartered plane, and $53,800 for telephone costs alone during her 12-day trip to China. The IG also said Energy Department staffers may have committed criminal violations on a couple of these trips by spending money that had not yet been authorized to be spent.

We all knew that she was nuts when she was working for Bill Clinton. This just proves that most everything that we have said about the Clintons are proving to be true.

They should have obliged her - at thirty thousand feet!
