I'm done with you...

Seriously, Jennifer Kim, from your comment-less performance at CAMPO to this, I'm just fucking done. This may, in fact, be the first time I take Leslie's candidacy seriously. It's a shame Jennifer Gayle had to move to Dallas to start fucking with people in North Texas. She might have actually won this election. Seems that Princess Councilwoman Jennifer Kim is getting all jammed up over the fact that she can't get through security at the airport with just her city council badge (which is a strange thing for her to think since you can't even get a seat a Taco Cabana with a city council badge).

She said she recently planned to meet a visitor from the Ford Foundation and was delayed because she thought she could go through the security screening line without a boarding pass.

"I didn't know it was a (Transportation Security Administration) issue," she said. "I thought since it was our airport and we own it, and if we are pre-cleared, we could get through.

Yeah, Jennifer, TSA runs security at airports. Badly, but it's what they do in ALL airports. As for the 'visitor', do you intend to defend yourself by saying that the person you were meeting isn't familiar with the rules at airports and would have been peeved had you not met him/her at the gate? Oh, enough with the bullshit. EVERYONE knows you just meet people at baggage claim.

But a memo from the city manager's office used to summarize council members' concerns and questions said Kim "thought her VIP badge at our airport would allow her to get through security without going through screening. She has now been told that's not the case and is not happy."

It was reported that she then tried to beat Toby with her phone but that turned out to be false. Everyone knows Toby Can't. Be. Defeated. Even Kim's not stupid enough to try.

Kim said she thinks it's possible for her to get a special pass from airlines to meet their passengers while still going through screening. However, she said she didn't want to do that because of the wait at the ticket counter.

Boo-fucking-hoo. WE ALL HATE GOING TO THE AIRPORT. It's usually a pain in the ass and waiting on line (sometimes, more than one) is, while annoying, de rigueur. Your elected office (which is, in reality, a minor step above the SFA HS student council) doesn't come with a 'skip the lines' feature.

You hear one story about bitchy behavior and you dismiss it. Two and you start to wonder. This makes 4,980 with Jennifer. Seriously, she's gone from being an elected official to a cautionary tale. The worst part is how FUCKING TERRIBLE SHE IS AT HANDLING THE FALLOUT. These quotes are awful and reading them makes one angry, not sympathetic. No, we don't understand her position. In fact, we think she's a terribly presumptuous jackass.

Can't you just totally see Jennifer Kim demanding of airport security, "Do you KNOW who I AM?" while being wanded?

And I suppose I should have guessed Leslie would have a wikipedia entry, but it never occurred to me until now to look.

Jennifer, Hon, it's not the act but the cover up that gets you in trouble. You had to run off to Mom Futrell to take care of the big bad media and blogger bullies. Not only can you not come clean, but you can't even fight your own battles. Now, some poor staffer is going to get left twisting in the wind.

And really, Mom, to say that the document as it relates to airport security "really is not designed to be a formal or perfect or technically correct system," really scares the hell out of me.
