Helena Handbaskets hissy fit.

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?
I think we have all heard those kinds of stories.

Some famous person goes somewhere, and they get all pissy when they do not get deferential service from the plebes.
So. Let us recount this here little incident:

Helena Guergis, former beauty Queen and current figurehead on the Status of Women file in the Conservative caucus arrives just minutes before her plane.

The rest of the world is expected to arrive 2 hours prior to boarding, especially in light of all the sekuri-tay measures that the Harper Conservatives insist that we need to be SAFE! Including the nekked scanners that do not really work.

The conservatives are promoting voyeurism and nothing more.
The peeping Tom Party.

Then, Helena's boots set off the scanners or something like that. Apparently some shoes have a metal strip in them and they ask you to walk through again without them.

Not really a biggie, when it is just the plebes, Helena probably thinks. In larger airportsin other places, If she had been even remotely Muslim looking she may have been strip searched and/or interrogated for a few hours. They have done similar things to even more famous people.

Remove the shoes? It's ok......Everyone gets holes in their socks...Well, those of us who live under budgets do, but I betcha Helena gets fine new panty hose every day. My own socks rarely match. Shhh.

So she throws the boots in the bin, berates the airport workers and calls the place a hell hole. Nice touch that, I thought that every nook and cranny in Canada was bootiful when you are a politician. OOPS.

It was her birthday you see. And I am sure she wanted to rush home to her hubby, Rahim Jaffer. I mean, she may not be spending it with him next year and all since he may be in the klink on his current drug charges. Well, that one is also hard to call. I think Mr Jaffer is probably in a much better position that many, he can afford a lawyer most likely and is not depending on legal aid programs that have been cut to the bone like most of the plebes.

UPDATE: apparently they reached a resolution, just after Helena's bday. Awwww. Betcha he gets off scott free.  The Cons regressive get tuff on crime crap hasn't kicked in.....Heh. (Ya. Cold day in Hell when it would affect one of theirs anyway)

When Guergis was asked again to take off her footwear, she allegedly "slammed her boots into the bin provided," and said, 'Happy f--king birthday to me. I guess I'm stuck in this hellhole.'" Guergis turned 41 on Feb. 19.

The letter said, "as the footwear cleared the X-ray conveyor [Guergis] then allegedly shouted at her aide to 'Get those for me. I'm not walking around here in sock feet.'"

So the moral of this story? Security and all that icky stuff is for the plebes. Harper Conservative MP's are supposed to be exempt. Even shorter? IOKIYAR.
