Bullshit! I say, to every rich (but not rich enough to afford a private jet, ha ha) Republican who creamed their jeans back when Carter de-regulated the airlines and in the 80's when Ronald "don't fuck with me, I played a cowboy in the movies" Reagan busted the air traffic controller's union, fuck you, it's capitalism, this is what the companies are offering, and if you don't like it, take the god damned bus.

You only want regulation because the lack of it has made your life comfortable, but could give a shit less about anybody else, so you will just have to deal with the fact that you have to sit on a plane with no food or water for hours because the assholes running the airline don't think you're special. First class doesn't mean shit, does it. Ha Ha. Wear a fucking Depends. Yeah, Joe Scarborough and PJ O'Rourke, I'm talking to you, whiney ass crybabies. :flickoff:

Federal legislation mandating that airlines provide passengers trapped on grounded airplanes with food, water and working toilet facilities, as well as the right to deplane, is stalled in Congress, congressional aides and aviation experts said Wednesday.
