. . .assault and battery of an airline employee.

Quote :

"ABC 7/Newschannel 8 has learned the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority have charged Representative Robert Filner of California with assault and battery following an incident at Dulles International Airport Sunday night. ABC 7/Newschannel 8's Jay Korff learned that police were called to the baggage claim area around 6 p.m. when a passenger attempted to enter an area authorized for airline employees only. ABC 7/Newschannel 8's Kris Van Cleave spoke with several witnesses who say they heard Filner, a Democrat from San Diego and Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, yell 'You can't stop me,' before the Congressman push aside an United Airlines employee and refused to leave the lost luggage office. When officers arrived on scene, they found Filner waiting outside the office and informed him the airline employee would be pursuing charges. Investigators say the employee appeared before a Loudoun County Magistrate Sunday evening and Filner is now scheduled to appear in General District Court on October 2. A spokesperson from Fliner's San Diego Office says that 'Filner is on his way to Iraq visiting our troops and will have a full statement when he returns.' They call the charges ridiculous."

These threads are all pretty retarded. The soap box is turning into entertainment tonight for politics.

8/20/2007 8:31:23 PM

its nothing but partisan hackery in here now a days

8/20/2007 8:41:01 PM

the soap box went down the shitter a long time ago when theduke866 decided to only moderate cheese posts and nothing else

8/20/2007 8:58:36 PM

If this were a Republican, many of you would be foaming about how he or she didn't care about the proletariat or some such horseshit. In any event, how stupid do you have to be to push an airport employee these days, huh?

PS: Any of you complaining about this "shitty" thread are free to dazzle us with your brilliant threads. I await the dazzle.

Somehow a disgruntled Democrat annoyed over lost luggage pales in comparison to Republicans, who do things like soliciting blow jobs in a public restroom... or being a sexual predator to teenage interns in DC... or conducting a criminal investigation of the President for being unfaithful while at the same time being unfaithful to your own wife... or divorcing your wife after being accused to anally raping her in her sleep...

Yeah, damn that infernal liberal bias

"Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?"

this would have been a better thread if it just said

"Congressman charged with...."

8/21/2007 1:50:58 PM

Such a horrible guy fighting for civil rights and spending time in jail

He was a dumbass for attacking anyone, but especially in an airport though.

Don't forget hookgeezer comes from a generation where people were afraid of 'dancing'.

So I guess a push qualifies as harassment in that frame of view.

8/21/2007 10:41:13 PM

^ Bullshit. We had Flashdance and Footloose, dummy.

8/22/2007 11:01:22 AM

FAME! (I'm gonna live forever...)

8/22/2007 1:28:00 PM

^ Yeah, I didn't include Fame because it was mostly singing and acting--I guess they did some dancing, too, right? I'll bet you wanted to kiss Irene Cara, though, didn't you, schmoe?

PS: Hey, I just noticed something: Fame, Flashdance, Footloose--WTF's with all the Fs in these movies?

8/22/2007 4:31:49 PM

I don't recall this golden age of the Soapbox when it was a paradigm of intellectual political discourse, perhaps someone could enlighten me with a rough time frame?

8/22/2007 4:41:57 PM

That version of TSB exists only in the ether--and in the feverish and foam-affected minds of some left-wing moonbats.

8/22/2007 4:47:16 PM

^^ nah, it was slightly better back, like 4-5 years ago.

the Garage was way better than it is now, too. I think it's just the general dumbing down of TWW.

LOCK. this was slightly newsworthy, and now that news is out. there isn't really much of anything to debate about it.
