Take this job and shove it! (Which politician is on the verge of going "Jet Blue"?)

[bondwooley]

From an online poll:

This week, an unruly passenger plucked Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater's last nerve: Slater grabbed a beer, launched an emergency exit and slid right out of his job -- and right into the hearts of frustrated Americans everywhere.

"For 20 years, I thought about it," Slater told the New York Times. "But you never think you're going to do it."

Then he did.

With frustration in America seeming to be at an all-time high, maybe Slater is just the tip of an iceberg.

The poll asks who is going to go "Jet Blue" next.

With the stress of midterm elections building up, there might be a lot of GOP contenders.

What are DU's predictions?

2. Don't know why people would do that.

I don't even have beer money to go to the bar. They got beer money, why would they leave? Maybe money isn't everything though.


Unless the rest of the job won't let them be what they think is best to be. Although that is a choice.

4. I think the answer is that people are under stress ...

... Because of the economy, because those with a job are often filling two positions for the earnings of one, etc. Under stress, people snap. Judgment goes out the window. Or the exit ramp, as the case may be.

3. I think Glenn Beck is about to flunk everyone at his university.

It would be his big "FU" as he's strangled by advertisers.
