I was once on a flight from DCA back to BOS and Teddie Kennedy (D-UI)
got on the plane and sat next to my boss. Then his idiot nephew Joe got
on and walked back to where The Swimmer was seated and says to my boss,
"Could you move so I can sit next to my uncle?" in a snotty total
a**hole way. It was incredibly embarrassing to everyone around except
to them. I think Joe was one of the crowd who raped that woman they
picked up at Au Bar in Florida somewhere on their "Traditional Easter
Weekend."
On another flight from DCA to BOS The Swimmer was sitting in front of
me, pounded 3 scotches before takeoff and 3 more during the flight.
Granted mini-bottles, but still... Then as we were getting off the
plane, the turns around and sees a woman he knows standing behind me,
elbows his way past me, and grabs her in a big sloppy drunk hug,
proceeds to grab her a** while hanging on her and plant a wet one on her
face. A young woman with her (they were both working on the failed
Dukakis campaign. sitting behind me I could hear their conversations)
looked at this spectacle in horror, her idol, The Lyin of the Senate,
was a total nasty old drunk. He was sorta bumping into me too while
doing this, I had a very strong urge to administer a swift quiet kick to
the gentleman's region just to get him to stop. I'm sure the women
would have loved me forever had I done that right then and there. He
was carrying no briefcase, doing no work, just pounding Dewars.
Watching him hang on this woman, stumbling up the gangway, was also
incredibly embarrassing, and both the two women were horrified. He
managed to make it out of the terminal and there was a limo waiting to
pour him into it and take him to the nearest bah in Southie.
Teddie has been sober now for several years, and, as usual, Mary Jo has
no comment.

I once was on a flight from MSP back to DCA and US Sen. Paul Wellstone was
making his way up the aisle chatting up all the passengers before taking
his seat in coach class. A real salt of the earth, he died tragically when
his small plane iced up and went down during his campaign for re-election.
Fortunately, Al Franken succeeded him and he is cut from the same cloth.
Very good guys.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
