Obama's Plane Gets Lost In Iowa

AP :

When Democrat Barack Obama's charter plane touched down Tuesday night, aides were surprised a car wasn't waiting to rush him to that night's campaign events.

Someone stepped onto the tarmac and quickly realized why: They had landed at the wrong airport.

The plane landed at the wrong airport, not in a freakin' cornfield ...and Obama wasn't navigating. We are just way too caught up in the minutiae of the candidates' lives. Did he say something stupid once he was at whatever event he was headed for? Now *that* would be newsworthy.

Kinda like his campaign, lost. This guy can speak for hours and not say a thing that matters.

LOL, this is an easy mistake to make since fly-over country at 30,000 feet all looks the same to the Democrats.

I understand President Bush ordered air traffic controllers to do it.

If he really had anything important to say, he would have ended up like Wellstone did.

If there was a journalism award for irrelevant stories, this would take the gold. Next time let us know when he farts. Or if he spills coffee on his shirt. This is vital information to help us decide if he's ready to run the country. Pathetic.

I'm glad its just the wrong airport. Somehow Obama is always lost whenever important bill in the capitol hill reguires his vote..

Does his Secret Service unit no where the plane is going while in flight?

Obama's plane getting lost isn't as funny or predictable as Hillary stiffing waitresses in Iowa.

Hilarious.

What? Was it flown by a Republican?

You know, someone who can't tell the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq or Venezuelan and Peru?

I've never flown over Iowa but, if it's anything like flying over Nebraska, I'm not surprised: Miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles!

This here is some real hard-hittin' news reportin' there HuffPost, and I'm just so grateful that you're coverin' the big issues. Good job of tampin' down that Cheney impeachment stuff and exposin' a UFO sightin' by that crazy Kucinich guy.

By the way, could ya put a HuffPost link on Rush's website for us? It'd be real convenient.
