Uh? Again?
— Gabriel Malor

I thought the wires were running three days late when I saw something about all passengers on a Delta/Northwest flight being taken off a plane that just landed in Detroit. A Delta/Northwest Flight 253.

Repeat:

Metro Airport spokesman John Witner said there was a report of suspicious activity on the Delta/Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam Sunday. That is the same flight number as the flight that a Nigerian man was suspected of attempting to blow up over Detroit on Christmas Day.
All 257 passengers and 12 crew have deplaned safely, said Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott. The flight landed safely in Detroit at 12:34 p.m. Sunday.

Apparently, this fellow, also from Nigeria, locked himself in a lav and wouldn't come out.

Hey, Janet, is the system still working?

6 Obviously, the new plan will be to close all rest rooms on planes.

Problem... solved!

7 Merely "locked himself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out"? You KNOW that the White House told the liberal state-run media to print that. I'm sure he attempted to set off a bomb, but Obama sent marching orders for them to say it was merely a guy in the can. Ace, I'm glad you're on top of this conspiracy too.

8 The scary, tin-foil hat version is that these Nigerians are the Japanese carriers decoying Halsey away from the Leyte landings, while the Yamato leads a squadron of battleships into an assault on Taffy 3. Thank God for the tin can sailors off Samar, but what are the odds of another group of selfless patriots being on scene?

10 #7, fortunately, everyone on that plane can't be an Obama stooge, so they will talk.

11 Yesterday I posted a thought about how the next step would be for all passengers to be placed under general anaesthetic. Doesn't seem so unlikely now. This whole fiasco is all the proof anyone needs to understand that about 52% of our voters have literal shit for brains. Reap what you sow, 52 Percenters. You wanted a government with a pretty face, correct skin color, and no experience or "cynical" attitudes about the world? Enjoy the suck.

12 Maybe Obama should stop golfing at this point. Just for the symbolism, ya know.

I wouldn't bet on that. They are coming to Detroit, and the Kool Aid here has super powers.Everyone here still loves their president, even though we have the highest unemployment in the nation and close to 50% unemployment in Detroit.

14 Both Napolitanos and Gibbs hemorrhoids are really in an uproar today. These two need to get together and comfort each other is some fashion.

16 You know what is surprising about all this?

That US terrorist incidents have had a distinct upswing since 1/20/09? Nope, even Slow Joe saw that coming (GIRD YER LOINS!!!)

That terrorists still hate us after all Barry's bowing, groveling and apologizing? Nope.

That we're seeing a similar incident again today? Nope.

I am utterly shocked, however, that CNN is actually covering this. SHOCKED.

Oh well, I am sure things will go back to normal once the regulars get back from Christmas vacation. Then we can go back to hearing about how misunderstood these people are, how we should pity them and try to understand better and how it will all be fixed once we have socialist heath care.

17 Honestly, it's beginning to look like this government is too stupid exist. And half its citizens remind me of the line in the first Superman movie, from Lex Luthor commenting on henchman Otis: "How does his brain generate enough power to move his legs?"

18 #13, me thinks very few if any of the passengers have Detroit as their final destination, to say nothing of the state of MI? Who still living in Detroit has reasonto/can afford to fly transatlantic?

19 Well, the silver lining is that this will get Obama into the 30% range on Rasmussen--B++

Posted by: eman at December 27, 2009 10:58 AM (yqCDm)

21 Let's see: two Nigerian terrorists were allowed ON transatlantic flights. And Ivana Trump was escorted OFF a local flight. Yep, the system works. Take that rich white bitch!

22 was drudge sold to sky news? That's the rumor I heard cause someone claims they saw the sky news symbol in the corner of his site or something....

Posted by: curious at December 27, 2009 11:09 AM (p302b)

Ok, so they guy'd locked himself in the bathroom--all the freakout for nothing?

What a relief.

24 Next up on KWTF news: Americans are all racists/bigots for assuming the poor, sick Nigerian aboard Sunday's Flight 253 might be a terrorist.

25 "How does his brain generate enough power to move his legs?"

L: Otis, what do you, I and the number 200 have in common?

O: Gee, I dunno Mr. Luthor...

L: My IQ and your weight.

26 Damn. I was at DTW while that was all going on; missed the whole thing. Airport CNN was showing a report on financial planning for active duty military between noon and 1, then they switched to the Giants game.

Posted by: HeatherRadish at December 27, 2009 12:07 PM (OkT2m)

27 Who still living in Detroit has reasonto/can afford to fly transatlantic?

You (and your new cousin-wife fresh from your father's village) can take a shuttle from DTW to Dearborn or Hammtramack (I expect I spelled that wrong).

Just sayin'.

28 Wasn't a flight diverted yesterday because of some dude's baggage being sent on while he stayed in Amsterdam? Was that this flight number, too?

Deplane! Deplane!

Deplane at once!

30 All your restrooms are belong to us. Until further notice.

31 #27, I LOVE it when Muslim-related things refer to pork: Hamas, and Hamtramck. It's like when Asians move to towns such as Fort Lee, NJ with names they can't pronouce (Ft. Ree?)

Posted by: ParisParamus at December 27, 2009 12:56 PM (uey34)

32 If I was a Nigerian on flight 253 with a bunch of riechwingers giving me the evil eye I'd lock myself in the bathroom too.

33 Unbelievable. Guy gets on the plane in Nigeria *with no baggage* on a trip to the USA via Amsterdam the day after his compatriot attempts down the same flight?? Perhaps he read the accounts and decided igniting a misfiring incendiary next to your groin is may not be a great idea. I hope they checked the restroom thoroughly: wouldn't be surprised that the fellow divested himself of the explosives in there...

35 Ah, okay. As there are no jihadi connections in Germany, that's probably nothing. /sarc

Honestly this does look like a lot of misdirection. I hope somebody in a position to do something about it (and I'm down to desk guys at the CIA) has figured that out.

40 Once again, the question must be asked. Why in the hell are the Nigerians flying to Detroit in the fisrt place! Is their National Democratic Party having a convention there? Why not go to Chicago?

We have not yet plumbed the depths of stupid that a western government can engage in when it really really tries. The Democrats are still in the on deck circle taking practice swings.
