flight attendant confronted Freeman, who responded by hurling a few profanities and throwing what remained of a can of tomato juice on the floor. I think I would slide with the airlines on this one. It wasn't just the spanking.

<PS: Anyone notice Obama's incorrect oath administration and affirmation in today's swearing in? Can you say -- "Oathgate?" What Constitution?!?!? I never swore I'd uphold the constitution!> -------------------------------------------------- As first-timers on the inaugural stage, no one can blame President Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts for being nervous. Debate initially swirled around who actually messed up the oath, but MSNBC's play-by-play clears it up. First, Obama jumped in before the "do solemnly swear" phrase, which seemed to throw the chief justice off his stride. Roberts rendered the next phrase as "that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully." "That I will execute," Obama repeated, then paused like a school teacher prompting his student with a slight nod. Roberts took another shot at it: "The off ... faithfully the pres ... the office of President of the United States." While it's technically a flub, it was also nice to see a little levity during a serious moment. AP explains that Roberts will most certainly get another chance to get it right. news.yahoo.com --------------------------------------------------------------- It appears that Obama actually knew the oath and balked at repeating it inaccurately. Does anyone doubt that dubya would have blindly repeated the words as spoken by the Chief Justice, notwithstanding the Constitution? I would not be surprised if Obama also actually understands the oath, unlike the shrub.
