SENATORS,  CONGRESSPERSONS - AND THEIR AIDES. 

They work for or are the people we trust to control

the trillions of dollars we are paying the government. 

A DC 'airport ticket agent offers some examples. I love

this : is the ticket agent actually names their names!

 

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter)

ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed

up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

 

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer

(Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started

to explain the length of the flight and the passport information,

and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you

look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts. '' Without trying

to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in

Mass., Cape Town is in South Africa .'' His response -- click..

 

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called,

furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was

wrong with the vacation in Orlando.  He said he was expecting   an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since

Orlando is in the middle of the  state. He replied, 'Don't lie to me!,

I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG )

 

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked,

''Is it possible to see England from Canada?'' I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)

 

5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called

and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the

reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas.

When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said,

''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need

a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

 

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week.

She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from

Detroit left at 8:30 a.m, and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan  was an hour ahead of Illinois ,

but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones.

Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

 

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked,

''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so

they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No,

why do you ask?' He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with

the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT),

and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!'' After putting

him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was

dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code

for Fresno , Ca is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the

airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

 

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called

to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii.  After going

over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper

to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

 

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman,

Bobby Bright from Ala. who asked, ''How do I know which

plane to get on?'' I asked him what exactly he meant,

to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823,

but none of these planes have numbers on them.'' 

 

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly

to Pepsi-Cola, Florida . Do I have to get on one of those

little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola

and fly on a commuter plane She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!'' 

 

11. Mary Landrieu, La Senator, called and had a question

about the documents she needed in order to fly to China.

After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her

that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China

many times and never had to have one of those'' I double

checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When

I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times

and every time they have accepted my American Express!'' 

 

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make

reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.''

I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's

the name of the town?'' "Yes, what flights do you have?''

replied the man.  After some searching, I came back with,

''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country

and can't find a rhino anywhere."  ''The man retorted,

''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check

your map!'' So I scoured a map of the state of New York

and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?'' 

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!  ___
