T-shirt

What is it with Democrats wearing shirts that feature the F-word?

A woman was booted off a Southwest Airlines flight for wearing a T- shirt that bore an expletive and images of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Lorrie Heasley of Woodland, Wash., said she plans to press a civil- rights complaint against the airline over Tuesday's action at Reno- Tahoe International Airport, halfway through Heasley's scheduled trip from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore.

"I have cousins in Iraq and other relatives going to war," Heasley told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "Here we are trying to free another country and I have to get off an airplane ... over a T-shirt. That's not freedom."

Yeah lady, they're over there fighting for your right to make a jackass of yourself. Please. It's not the anti-Bush message that bothers me -- it would still be inappropriate if it featured a pic of Osama, Saddam and Kim Jong Il -- it's the utter crassness of it. Honestly, where is the sense of common decency?

This woman isn't alone in her fondness for the shirt. As I previously noted I spotted at least two of these at the recent anti-war protest I attended -- which received compliments -- and the Kos kidz seems to dig it as well.

In totally unrelated news a new report says that the Demcratic party's electoral success is suffering from its attachment to its liberal base.
