From BLT:
U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., is facing a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery after an altercation with an airline employee at Dulles International Airport on Sunday, The Washington Post reports. Filner, who was en route to Iraq, issued a statement through his office calling the charges "ridiculous." We're waiting to hear from the baggage handlers in Baghdad.
This story was blown out of proportion by the media yesterday. The man who happened to be lawmaker was simply pissed off that his luggage was lost. He is no difference than any person. But, who can blame him by being angry? Of course, he shouldn't have pushed the airline employee.
