One Man's President Is Another Man's Terrorist


This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic:

An airline passenger barred from a flight for wearing a T-shirt labeling President Bush a terrorist has threatened legal action against Australia's flag carrier Qantas.

What did the shirt say?

Airline staff said the T-shirt of Bush with the tagline "World's number 1 terrorist" could have upset other passengers and demanded it be changed for another.

I know it's not America, but really now! Most international travelers I know despise Bush. I doubt any would find it offensive.

Is anyone aware of this, or something similar on or regarding air travel happening in the US?

what poetic justice.

If this were 1700, they'd be saying: "Since civilization began, slavery has existed. It's human nature." I would have believed it. If 1800: "Women will never vote. They are not born rational". I would have believed it.
