What in God’s name could California Liberals possibly have against Bob Hope?
The rationale for the change is that the new name, Hollywood-Burbank Airport, gives it a sense of place. However, Bob Hope's patriotism and outspoken support for our country and its values flies in the face of today's liberal mindset, so you don't have to have a PhD from Cal Tech to diagnose the real reason that the name was changed. Had the airport been named for Jane Fonda or Alec Baldwin, you can bet your bottom buck that the name would never have been changed.
