Secret Service Takes Down Woman at LAX



All Brenda Lee (not that Brenda Lee) wanted to do was give President Obama a letter this morning at LAX. That ended up being a big fat nope.com from the Secret Service.

Anyway, Obama was in town for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, which prompted protests outside it at the Beverly Hilton. Among those who paid over $30,000 for a pair of dinner tickets included "Seth Rogen, Ron Howard, Kiefer Sutherland and Tyler Perry and politically active industry types like Chris Albrecht, Bruce Cohen, Bryan Lourd. Peter and Megan Chernin, Ron and Kelly Meyer, Skip Paul and Alan and Cindy Horn, according to Variety.

"Bitch better have my money. Not some, not half, but ALL my cash, or I'll stick my foot dead in that ass."


That's what you get when you fail to be rich anywhere near The Messiah.

3. Well, if the Secret Service tell you not to do something or go somewhere, it is best to listen.
   
It doesn't really give an explanation of what happened but she must not have followed their directions in some way.

     Golly! Had this uppity woman just done exactly what she was told to do, why, she'd still have all her teeth! Silly woman!

6. She looks very well dressed!
   
She was probably someone who was very sincere in wanting to give a note to the president--but maybe a little overzealous? ;-)

     Someone needs to give that uppity woman a lesson in protocol! Why, you don't go around expecting to see the President!

 


     Gee, I wonder if we searched on DU, we would find an instance of a private citizens who demanded a few moments of the President's
time, only to be rebuffed, and I wonder if DU clucked their tongues that the woman kind of got what she had coming to her. I wonder if that
would be hard to find, and I wonder if anyone on DU thought that the woman should have as much time as she wanted with the President to say whatever she wanted.

     I don't have time to search...does anyone else? Remember, we're looking for an instance of someone else wanting time with the President, and who was turned away, and DU said she shouldn't have expected much. Because the only example I can think of anything like this was when THIS HORSE FACED BITCH DEMANDED AN AUDIENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT AND THEY TOOK UP A ****ING COLLECTION FOR HER.




     Hypocritical assholes.

So what ever happened to the hag anyway?

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Since the Iraq war continues apace it would be awesome if Cindy-Loo Who decided to camp outside Obama's Chicago residence.

She could stay at Bill Ayers' place. I'm sure she already knows where the bathroom is.

4. She's so close to the plane. She could have hit him with a shoe...
 ...if this was another President.

No average Americans were allowed to come this close to Bush.
 

Bullshit DUmmie. I wonder if this DUmmie would like to come over here and explain a whole lot of pictures with President Bush shaking hands with a bunch of average Joe's?

If there was $15,000 in the envelope he would have welcomed the letter

The can't even get the story correct. I reporter was removed from teh press area BEFORE teh O arrived...

A reporter for a small newspaper was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One shortly before President Barack Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to depart California early Thursday.

Airport security officers carried the woman away by the feet and arms as she protested her removal.

She later identified herself as Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer in Macon and said she has White House press credentials. The newspaper's Web site says it is a monthly publication, and a Brenda Lee column is posted on it.

Calls to the newspaper and the White House press office were not immediately returned.

Lee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him "to take a stand for traditional marriage."

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter.

"I said, 'I'll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,'" said Lee, who identified herself as a Roman Catholic priestess who lives in Anaheim, Calif. "He became annoyed that I wouldn't give him the letter."

Lee, who was wearing what she described as a cassock, said she protested when she was asked to leave.

"I said, 'Why are you bothering me?' They escorted me outside the gate," she said.

She said security officers allowed her to return when she promised she would not yell or wave, but then other officers arrived and told her to leave.

"I said, 'I'm not leaving,'" she said. "They tried to drag me out."

Two officers then picked her up and carried her out. An Associated Press photographer photographed the incident.

"I was afraid you could see under my clothes," she said, her voice choking up.

Lee, who said this was the second presidential event she has covered, was later released.

The incident occurred about 10 minutes before Obama arrived at the airport by helicopter to board Air Force One. He had been in Los Angeles to attend a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

WTF? A priestess of the Roman Chatholic Church? I thought we burned all those like,...300 years ago?

I was within 3 feet of him more than once.

DUmmies lie...all the time.

The lastest headline from the DUmp on this is:

"WINGNUT HOMOPHOBE WRITER removed from near Air Force One at LAX."

Replace SS with Police.

How many times have we read about DUmmy's ignoring the orders of the police and then getting a whoopin put on them?

They're too stoopid to see the parallel.

I have a feeling what she actually practices is Santeria! Btw! There is no such thing in Catholicism as a "priestess" It is blasphemy to call yourself that!
