Yes, let's try for as much information as we can:
http://www.nbc4.com/news/3611999/detail.html
"A representative for US Airways said the decision to divert the plane
had nothing to do with the Bush twins. In fact, the representative said
US Airways often diverts planes for such problems, but could not
provide an exact number when asked.
Dorsey talked to several passengers at Reagan National Airport who said
they have never heard of such treatment.
Industry experts say such diversions are extremely rare."
So which is it, extremely rare or often.
Remember "hairgate"? Where's the rabid press when we need them...

Boy I never received an example of the standard policy for stranded
passengers. But the I dont have the Secret Service etc.
I have always objected to these perces. Like the close in parking at
airports for our "represenatives" . Etc etc NO MATTER WHICH PARTY.

What a great illustration of how easy it is to spin an event by simply
"forgetting" to include a few words of pertinent information. By
leaving
out the simple fact that this took place because of an airline's
standard
policy for stranded passengers, the originator was able to send
something
sure to outrage a whole slew of folks.
In this particularly emotionally charged political season, it pays to
backcheck the facts on any story that causes an instant reaction.
