| LI man arrested in air rage case A spirited debate on presidential politics aboard an Alaska-bound airplane has turned into an international incident, and left a Huntington Station retiree locked up in a Canadian jail on criminal charges, authorities said yesterday. Michael Husar, 58, was arrested Friday after allegedly having an alcohol-induced bout of air rage aboard a Northwest Airlines flight to Anchorage, which was diverted to Winnipeg, Manitoba, because of the incident. Uh-huh... Foreign jail for maybe 2 years? One less Kerry vote in NY. Kerry is down in his lead there. Needs every vote he can get... Husar boarded Flight 849 in Minneapolis on his way from New York to visit some friends in Alaska, his wife, Linda, said yesterday. Officials said Husar, a supporter of Sen. John Kerry, was engaged in a discussion on the upcoming presidential election with a woman seated next to him - a President George W. Bush supporter - when she became turned off by his belligerent attitude and complained to the flight staff. The woman also did not like that Husar would touch her leg and shoulder when he spoke to her, authorities said. Corona said Husar had "had a few drinks." No touching! |

| #10 Why did the Air Marshall get involved? If they were supposed to keep a low profile in the case of the 14 Arabs mingling around the lavatory, why did they get involved here? |

| #9 #3 Sounds he got into a debate with Alaska Pauline. Alaska Pauline would have been polite and nonconfrontational. If this hothead became too obnoxious, Alaska Pauline would have said, "OOPS! Sorry!" and a cup of boiling hot coffee would have decended upon his crotch. End of story. |
