Obama gets to the pearly gates and is greeted by the late Jesse Helms who tells him the servant's entrance is to the left.

That's bad!

Rush got this story wrong today. He said that the boarding ramp at the back of the plane had failed in flight, and that was what caused the unscheduled landing. Then he said that this ramp is just used to deploy an emergency ramp, but the DC-9/MD-80 aft boarding ramp was designed to allow passengers at smaller airports without jetways or an available ladder truck to plane and deplane.

That's not exactly how he said it...
Quote:
" He was traveling from Chicago to Charlotte aboard Fort Marcy Airlines when "the pilot's first officer announced that they were experiencing controllability issues with the pitch of the MD-80," and so Fort Marcy Airlines had to put down at Lambert Field in St. Louis, and we found out that one of the things that happened during the flight was that in the back of one of these dinky little old MD-80s is a rear door underneath the fuselage, and it will come down, and you can put out the exit slide, the emergency slide."
The real actual point of this bit was for Rush to use the "Fort Marcy Airlines" reference.

According to the NTSB, the escape slide deployed in flight. Rush may not have been technically correct, but he was more correct than you, Bruce.
