| Former Clinton energy secretary removed from plane |
| 2004-07-23 |
| Leary must have taken a tip from Berger--the rules only apply to the little people! Hat tip: Drudge. Edited for brevity. Nine days after being named president of Fisk University, Hazel O'Leary found herself being questioned by the FBI last night after being escorted off a commercial airplane. O'Leary wanted to get off the plane as it waited on the tarmac for more than an hour after being diverted to Richmond, Va., yesterday evening because of storms, said Cpl. Frank Donkle of the Richmond International Airport Police. The crew of the Nashville-to-Washington flight told airport police that O'Leary, 67, was ''getting loud and abusive'' and had to be physically restrained at one point, Donkle said. O'Leary, a former U.S. energy secretary under President Bill Clinton, disputed police accounts, saying in a short statement issued late last night: ''I regret the unfortunate misunderstanding that occurred (yesterday) evening. The situation was resolved. At no time was I rude or disrespectful to anyone. I answered all the questions that were asked and resumed my journey.'' |

| #14 You didn't like the Blogs of War pic of Z-man Bergler? Lol! If I can get some good panties images (oh, my, where will I find those!) I might be able to mask Sandy in there, heh. No promises, though! |

| #13 Oh Dot, way cool, you get it. If any body can do this its you. From a Mike Savage show I heard a snip about a picture of Sandy with underwear on his head, ala Abu Grab. Can you do it? Ship, no vacation yet. Fridays are my slide day so I can hang with the RB'rs. Missing muffler men, Big motors? |

| #11 Two bad they didn't give her the bum-rush from the exit door without the services of a ladder then left her stricken body of the tarmac as a warning to other pompous morons. She could have brought her stylist. I hear a runnway is a good place to get our hair done. |

| #9 ''It is no secret to anyone who knows me that I'm a highly energized, fast-thinking, fast-moving kind of person.'' So many places to go with that quote... |

| #6 I'm told there is no legal controlling authority. But I really can't recall. Prolly just sloppiness on her part. Whatever is, is and Elian was such a remarkable little boy. |

| #5 Ah, yes, Ms. O'Leary. The Secty of Energy who didn't want to be briefed on programs at Los Alamos because she had no time for "white men with nuclear weapons" ... but when she DID visit, it was mainly to demand that the color coded badges all be made one color so that janitors would not be singled out. Only one of several edicts that degraded security measures a good deal, I'm told. Wonderful. |

| #4 At no time was I rude or disrespectful to anyone. I answered all the questions that were asked and resumed my journey. Yes, I'm sure the disturbance was 'inadvertent' and that it was 'an honest mistake'... |
