Groping for Thee, not for me

Yet another Gate-rape horror story.

Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his stomach...

...“One agent watched as the other used his flat hand to go slowly down my chest. I tried to warn him that he would hit the bag and break the seal on my bag, but he ignored me. Sure enough, the seal was broken and urine started dribbling down my shirt and my leg and into my pants.”

Humiliated, upset and wet, Sawyer said he had to walk through the airport soaked in urine, board his plane and wait until after takeoff before he could clean up.


Meanwhile, for 'America's Apricot Everyman':


Mr. Boehner headed across the Potomac River to Ronald Reagan National Airport, which was bustling with afternoon travelers. There was no waiting for Mr. Boehner, who was escorted around the identification-checking agents, the metal detectors and the body scanners, and whisked directly to the gate.


Humiliation for you, but nobody will touch John Boehner's Orange Julius.

"... nobody will touch John Boehner's Orange Julius."

Uh, I'm guessing that's pretty much true--inside and outside airports....

Attaboy, Attaturk! "Gate rape" is hilarious and will be featured on your evening news broadcast tonight or tomorrow, whenever their interns get around to reading the blogs.
