Eh-Gahd! Gore flying Southwest. What will the boys from the prep school think.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! Could you imagine? Going from "winning the election" to riding in the cattlecar, even if it's in the front of the bus....

It's Algore's scheme to get more frequent flyer miles quicker: Buy 3 tickets for each trip you take and earn triple the mileage!

Hey Mason 123! Alright! A democrat who can count!!!!

Hey everyone! Let's all give Mason a real live Boorish Stare!!!! He is afterall something quite unique!

[Petronski]

Cattlecar? LOL.

I like to call Southwest the 'sky ghetto.'

[Constitution Day]

I certainly wouldn't be bragging to the whole world if I had treated someone the way you did. I'd be apologizing for my boorish behavior.

The way I see it, respect is EARNED. Gore is not worthy of civility or respect.

[Constitution Day]

Alright! A democrat who can count!!!!

ROFL...

[Petronski]

And we wonder why we have reputations as intolerant hatemongers.

Speak for yourself, jerk.

Algore made me feel real bad during the 1992 election with his lies of "Everything that is down should be up and everything that is up should be down" et al.

Mr. Snippy is a vile stuffed shirt. He was elected to represent America but together with Bubba Clinton did their damnedest to divide this nation and pit groups against one another.

[stevio]

Your husband stared him down. Alright!

[webstersII]

You're the one that is using the word "intolerant". That's a code word for liberals.

The most important thing in life is not to make sure someone's feelings are not bruised, regardless of what you learned in school from well-meaning liberal teachers. If he is going to be in the public eye then he has to be a big enough boy to withstand some criticism and disdain.

During the two-hour flight the Goron got up a couple of times to use the lavatory .....

Diabetic?

[Bonaparte]

In case you didn't notice, RooRoobird14 is a "human being." And now you've hurt her feelings by calling her that name -- "boorish." Just because you don't agree with her, doesn't mean you have the right to step on her self-esteem. I think it would do you a world of good to openly acknowledge your common humanity with her and apologize to her right this minute.

Wouldn't you agree?

[LibertyGirl77]

"His Large Hineyness"

ROFLMAO! I'm using that!

[tiki]

But he's a tree!

[RooRoobird14]

Get out of Cheney's Seat! Get out of Cheney's Seat! Get out of Cheney's Seat!

Tslim, that is JUST TOO FUNNY!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!

In hindsight, there's about a million funny things we could have said when we walked by the Goron, but--to our surprise--both Hubby and I actually felt sorry for him and thought "What's the point to insulting this loser?"

Also, there's probably a good chance we would have been pistol-whipped and put off the plane if we had displeased His Large Hineyness. We're not stupid---The Goron wasn't worth that.

[mombonn]

Yes, I do believe that democrats are human beings,

You probably believe in the tooth fairy and Easter Bunny, too. Otherwise, you'd know better.

Apparently, they screwed up the car assignment for Bill Clinton about 2 weeks ago, and he had to walk through the rain to get a yellow taxi. ;)

Apparently Mr. Hillary Clinton enjoyed his rental car that he ended up with...

I think folks would have to have flown Southwest to fully grasp the flavor of this scene. Southwest is a no-frills airline with open (not assigned) seating. There are generally a lot of business folks mixed in with other private individuals. While Southwest's service is generally good, it's by no means an upscale airline on the order of Delta, United or others. Southwest is one step up from Greyhound.

Southwest runs a very tight ship. They have cut their costs and often provide special ticket prices. They are one of the most solvent airlines these days. They have turned a profit during each of the last few years. They have developed a niche market that weathers adverse conditions well. I fly them intermittantly, and thought folks would find it rather amusing that Gore would be flying on type of airline. Most of us would think of him on some private jet or at least flying first class on a major airline.

Mason cut the crap -- I have lurked at the DU and bartflop for 2 years now - I have seen things tantamount to threats against President Bush - you leftwing nut cases call him and his wife everyname in the book. Stop the preaching it doesn't ring true.
