Weekend Edition: Surprisingly, She Rejected The “Bush-Cheney 2004″ Shirt They Offered
A woman was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for refusing to change out of an offensive t-shirt.
According to KRNV in Reno, the shirt “had pictures of members of the Bush Administration, and a phrase based on the movie “Meet the Fockers,” but with one crucial vowel changed.”
Passenger Lorrie Heasley’s reaction, after her attempt to cover the shirt failed and caused other passengers to complain? “I didn’t feel that I should have to change my shirt, because we live in the United States, and it’s freedom of speech and it was based on the move “The Fockers”, and I didn’t think it should have offended anyone.”
Heasley is 32 — old enough, one would have thought, to understand what it means to be an adult. And to have a modicum of taste.
Of course, Heasley is pursuing legal action against Southwest.
