My Favorite Flight Attendent


From the New York Daily News - August 10, 2010
By Alison Gendar, Oren Yaniv and Dave Goldiner

"A JetBlue flight attendant blew his top, grabbed some beer and bolted out an emergency slide at Kennedy Airport Monday...After he was bonked in the head by a bag...As the flight from Pittsburgh pulled up to the gate about noon...(he grabbed the intercom and announced) "To the f-----g a--hole who told me to f--k off, it's been a good 28 years," Slater, 38, purred, cops said. "I've had it. That's it..."

"The mad-as-hell steward grabbed a couple of brewskis and popped one open before activating the emergency exit...After tossing his two carry-on bags on the slide, he followed them to the tarmac....said passenger Phil Catelinet, 36, of Brooklyn..."He seemed kind of happy about it."

He apparently reached his breaking point on Flight 1052 when a passenger tried to get a bag from the overhead compartment and it clocked Slater on the head, cops said...(When he asked for an apology) the passenger cursed at Slater...Slater was wearing a sheepish smile when Port Authority detectives walked him to a waiting van (from his home) a few hours later. He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief."

Okay, who do you think was the person who refused to say she was sorry for hitting Steven in the head?

A) Sara Palin. At first glance she thought he was Levi. Or maybe Todd.

B) Susan Angle. She did not give him permission to question her.

C) Naomi Campbell. She thought the attendent might have been that blabber mouth Mia Farrow.

D) Nicole 'Snooki' (. I was a public nuisance — big deal!")Polizzi. She thought Steven was another one of those jerks from Access Hollywood. Or the National Endowement for the Arts.

E) Meg Whitman. What's the big deal? She thought the flight attendant worked for her.

F) Carly Fiorna. She thought Steven was wearing a wire.

G) Blanche Lincoln. She thought the guy wanted to ask about the public option.

H) Gretchen Carlson. She mistook Steven for a Fox News Executive.

I) Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Because she saw a "desperacy" in his eyes.

J) Ann ("Christ died for my sins and nothing else matters) Coulter. She was just publicing yet another book.

K) Michele Bachmann. She needs a reason? Okay, she thought he was plotting to invade the earth.

M) Michelle Malkin. She thought he was that darn Jamil Hussein impersonator again.
