Southwest: No Anti-Bush T-Shirts!!

Southwest Airlines has reportedly kicked a passenger from a flight because she was wearing an anti-Bush Administration shirt. The T-Shirt has pictures of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and a sports a phrase described as "similar to the popular film title Meet the Fockers." Lorrie Heasley and her husband were escorted from the plane during a stopover in in Reno, NV. during a flight from Los Angeles and Portland OR.

"Here we are trying to free another country and I have to get off an airplane in midflight over a T-shirt. That's not freedom."

She is suing for the expenses in completing her trip (by rented car) from Reno to Portland.
