Alaska State Senator Lesil McGuire caused a disturbance on an Alaska Airlines flight, including throwing a glass of water when flight attendants refused to serve her alcohol, authorities said. Witnesses told police McGuire was rude, used profanity, bad-mouthed the pilots and caused further delay by getting out of her seat.
An Anchorage airport police report of the Sept. 4 incident says the Anchorage Republican also continued using her BlackBerry after being asked to turn it off in preparation of the flight from Juneau to Anchorage. According to the report, McGuire continued texting, prompting the pilot to stop the plane as it was taxiing.
McGuire served three terms in the state House before being elected to the state Senate in 2006. She is married to former Rep. Tom Anderson, an Anchorage Republican who is serving a federal prison term on corruption charges.
Does this make you think twice about Alaskan politicians in leadership roles?

So, you judge people according to the state they come from? Maybe you can name ONE single state that has NEVERr had a bad, corrupt, incapable, dishonest, drunk, immoral, incompetent politician? Maybe we should start looking for all our candidates in that Paradise. But then you'll have to tell us..

I guess this rules out liberal media bias
And yes- from what I've just read- she was in the wrong- but she is an individual- and has nothing to do with Governor Sarah Palin run for VP.
