"Shanna, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash!"
Edited on Tue Sep-13-11 08:49 AM by Tommy_Carcetti


That was a quote from the 1980 spoof comedy Airplane!, in a parody of the old "Point/Counterpoint" segments that were on the news.

Who knew that thirty one years later this would be a legitimate talking point by Presidential candidates!

even the guy (don't know his name but remember him as a hard-ass) is parodying himself
he was a good sport
