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?

I think what she did is wrong. I also do not agree with Palin. But they are only 2 people and that does not make up the whole.

Sarah Palin is a horrible person and is perfect to continue the Bush/Cheney legacy. She can't even answer a question from the press, but we're supposed to believe she's fit to run the country?!? Remember, this nut job is literally a 72 year old heartbeat away from being commander in chief!

Palin-Drone: Murderous drag queen of dubious pedigree, hand(-job)-selected by the Gay Old Pedophiles (GOP) as butt-boy extraordinaire to 'Senator' McBane. Notoriously misogynic and thoroughly misanthropic (due to gender and species xenophobia, respectfully), Palin-Drone prostitutes its own knocked-up 17-year-old spawn as anodyne for witless, anti-choice right-wingnuts. In a fortuitous twist of irony, Palin-Drone is ostensibly the same anti-Christ its own sycophants have been programmed to dread.

Sarah Palin is the worst thing that could happen to women, the environment and our country. She's knows nothing, only parrots what McShame's thugs tell her to say. She should just go back to Alaska and pump out some more little carbon footprints...

Well, this actually has no bearing. Sarah is unfit all by herself. The fact that the rest of the Republicans, especially Alaskan ones are also corrupt baffoons does not make it any more so.

What does one have to do with the other? You can't compare people simply because they come from the same state...quit trying to infer something that's not there

You don't give many options, do you.
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..

thanks Kevracer- trying to be bi-partisan- here- just like make sure got all the facts

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.

Now that is an interesting thought. On CNN revealed they did say that her own party wasn't to happy with her.
