Heck of a job, Janet!
Millblogger Michael Yon was arrested and handcuffed at the Seattle airport.
Via Gateway Pundit, Yon had this to say about the incident:
When they handcuffed me, I said that no country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates. No county has treated me with the disrespect can that can be expected from our border bullies.
So illegals sneak into our country and Democrats want to grant them amnesty, but war correspondents and authors get roughed up by border guards. Nothing’s normal anymore.
Even aging comediennes aren’t safe from Homeland Security these days. Joan Rivers was bumped from her flight home from vacation at the last minute, the New York Daily News reported.
Joan Rivers is many things: Funny lady. Jewelry mogul. Red carpet mercenary. But a terrorist?
Can we talk?
Rivers, 76, was deemed a danger to national security and booted from a Newark-bound flight in Costa Rica on Sunday by a jittery Continental Airlines gate agent who found the two names on her passport fishy.
Her passport reads: Joan Rosenberg AKA Joan Rivers. Rosenberg was her late husband’s last name.
The “nasty and cruel” Continental gate agent bumped Rivers from the last flight out Sunday and the comedian found herself alone (her daughter, Melissa, flew out to Los Angeles earlier in the day) and with no ATM card and just $100 cash, she said.
Rivers’ tale of woe put a famous face on travel’s new reality – one that leaves many feeling like common criminals.
“If I were going to make up an alias, I wouldn’t pick Rosenberg. I’d pick Jolie or Pitt,” said Rivers, back home Monday in New York with her sense of humor intact. “Do terrorists wear Manolo Blahniks? I can tell you Donna Karan does not make anything that hides a bomb,” she said. ….
At least Rivers, er, Rosenberg, managed to keep her sense of humor.
Doesn’t anyone in Washington realize there’s a better way? Anyone?

Hey!
I live just south of Seattle. This city is neck and neck with Portland, OR for the title:
San Francisco North.
Seattle Trivia: Did you know they have a statue of Lenin in the Freemont district?
It isn’t called the People’s Republic of Washington for nothing.
