In fairness we've all had meltdowns -- and the stress of travel makes emotions higher -- good thing she wasn't Polish and there were no Mounties around!

Helena Guergis, the minister of state for the status of women, apologized Thursday for lashing out at airport employees in P.E.I. last week.
...
The Ontario MP's boots set off the metal detector, so airport staff asked her to place them in a bin. She slammed them angrily into the provided bin and shouted, "Happy f--king birthday to me. I guess I'm stuck in this hellhole," the letter said.
Guergis turned 41 on Feb. 19.
"As the footwear cleared the X-ray conveyor [Guergis] then allegedly shouted at her aide to 'Get those for me. I'm not walking around here in sock feet," reads the letter.
When staff reminded Guergis that passengers are expected to show up two hours before departure, she allegedly replied, "I don't need to be lectured about flight time by you. I've been down here working my ass off for you people."

If she were you and me, and we acted like that, The RCMP would be called and we would be taken away.
Not a good day for Helen.
My wife thinks she should check her thyroid.
Oh please, James. She should know you can't arrive 10 mins. before the plane takes off & expect to be whisked through - no matter who you are. And her bahaviour is inexcusable?
And what's with the Polish comment?
She's right about one thing;PEI in the winter is a bit of a hellhole.
penlan; google "Polish Mounties"
Should we really expect any less from these latte drinking, elitist CPAC MP's?
Her husband's a junkie, she's a rage-aholic. Thanksgiving much be sheer bliss at their home.
The Polish comment was reference to the poor man tasered to death by the RCMP -- it certainly wasn't an attack on Poles!!!!!!
As if Michael Ignatieff never blew up at airport security!
TB,
That's an unfortunate choice of words...
