Mr. Speaker-Designate,
It is no secret around these parts that I am a fan.
I was willing to let this weak response to my request for action go because you had other things going on pertaining to the changing of the guard in DC. But then I discover that, once again, the elitist government cabal known as Congress gets yet another pass in dealing with reality.
It is not acceptable for a Member of Congress to express the bare minimum of concern for what the public is enduring while you breeze by shirking the opportunity to get the same treatment that ordinary Americans do at our airports. Yeah, I get it, you'll be third in line for the Presidency, so what? You might as well be flying in the Gulfstream that Pelosi jetted around in...
I thought you were a man of the people, John... You need to step up and show me something. So far, you've been a disappointment on this score.
SIDEBAR: I said I was going to name names...some people didn't believe me. The rest of you still have a chance to do something...
UPDATE: The longer I think about this, the angrier I get. I read the other day, a TSA story about our troops, returning from overseas, having to go through these ridiculous procedures even though they are carrying their empty weapons on board.
The pilots and crew of all the aircraft have to go through this humiliating procedure too.
Is Congress saying that that they couldn't possibly be a terrorist but one of us could? There is at least one Member of Congress who might fit the profile and for that alone Congress ought not be exempt.
The next time we hear those morons at the TSA Blog saying that everybody goes through security for the safety of everyone on board, we now know that is a lie.
UPDATE 2: Hey, John, where is the freedom?
