Folks,I wish no ill toward the passengers of flight 370. I was REALLY hoping the news lead to their being alive! Now the IDIOCY is coming to land in our laps! Now, next up: On The Situation Room last night, Wolf Blitzer talked with Jeffrey Toobin (whos the lawyer, CNNs legal analyst) about the announcement that the flight crashed. Blitzer said, Which countrys court will have jurisdiction over lawsuits that inevitably will emerge here, Jeffrey? TOOBIN: Think about complexity here. You have a Malaysian airline -- TOOBIN: -- mostly Chinese passengers -- TOOBIN: -- a -- a American manufacturer -- TOOBIN: -- in a plane that apparently, apparently went down near Australia in international waters. Most likely, as I understand it, the litigation would start in China and Malaysia. But there will certainly be an effort to bring some of the cases to the United States because thats where the deepest pockets are and that has the most plaintiff-friendly litigation. Does that not sum it up? (laughing) Thats gonna tick Putin off, too, cause all the lawsuits are gonna be where the money is: The United States. Toobin is very proud of that. Weve got deep pockets and we have a plaintiff-friendly litigation system here in America, and thats where all the money is. We didnt have anything to do with it except we manufactured the airplane. but weighing in next on this is the inimitable Sheila Jackson Lee. Wait for it! Sheila Jackson Lee. This was on the floor of the House. I wish this had been on CNN. This was on the floor of the House, Sheila Jackson Lee (Democrat-Texas) speaking about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370... LEE: I call upon the aviation industry to stop hiding behind costs and how much it costs and start ensuring that our pilots and our customers, our flying public, are safe. Why do we have the capacity, uh, to dismantle the transponders? Why wasnt the emergency call already in place that it automatically signals when a[n] aircraft goes off its, uh, discerned or destinated -- uh, destiny and destination -- LEE: -- uh, as relates to, uh, its flight pattern. LEE: Why does it have to be done manually? Oh, my God, folks, are we in so much trouble. This is a congressional leader. This whole thing is a satire, is a parody. (laughing) I call upon the avenation industry, to stop hiding behind cost and how much things cost and start ensuring that our beloved pilots and our precious customers, our precious flying public are safe! Why can somebody turn off the transponder? Why wasnt the emergency call already in place when the plane goes off its discerned or destinated destiny, as relates to its flight pattern? (laughing) Its destinated destiny, which in this case happened ... (laughing) ... happened to be... (laughing) Shes a leader of the Democrat Party, folks, in the House! (sigh) The discerned destinated destiny was Beijing.
