On Monday when I first read about Cancun Cruz throwing a hissy fit at the Montana airport

I posted “don’t you know who I am?”, just being a smart ass and figuring he’d be the kind to say that. Now I’ve read he really did say that. It’s unfortunate that the rethugs are so predictably repulsive and self centered. If we don’t improve our majority in November, if sufficient numbers vote for the rethugs, I guess America deserves what it gets.

Not really, though I might say that if there was 100% voter turnout. But there never is and so many people have the attitude Why vote, because if you don’t you may never have that chance again.

1. They are caricatures of themselves.

Reminds me of this possibly apocryphal incident said to have happened at the old Denver airport:

The single agent was rebooking a long line of very inconvenienced and frustrated travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk in front of all the others. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”

The agent replied, “I’m sorry sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that all the passengers behind him could hear, “Do you have any idea who I am?”

Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled warmly and grabbed her public address microphone. “May I have your attention please?” she began, her voice bellowing throughout the entire terminal. “We seem to have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come forward to the gate.”

With the folks behind him in line now laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth, and spat out the words, “F… you.”

Without flinching in the least, the agent smiled politely and said, “I’m terribly sorry, sir, but I’m afraid that you’ll have to stand in line for that, too.”
