This Is F'ed Up!
Yet ANOTHER sign that our economy is in the crapper!
American Airlines announced on Wednesday that they'll start charging $15 for the first checked bag, cut domestic flights and lay off workers as it grapples with record-high fuel prices.
SUCKS that more people are going to lose work!
And, it SUCKS that we have to pay to check baggage in. Just gives us that much more incentive to only take carry-on, but now everyone's gonna start doing that too!
The passenger cabin will be even more sucky on American than it already is.
EVERYONE will probably max out the 2 carry-on policy. Oh, and bet u can't wait to deal with overworked, under-resourced airline staff.
Awesome!
Last month, American announced it would join other carriers in charging $25 for second bags checked for some passengers, but it wasn't immediately clear how Wednesday's announcement would affect that, according to the source.
Thanks for everything, George Bush.

Slowly Losing Their 15 Minutes
Air Jordan is Cannes Bound
BC George Bush sets gas prices amirite?
oh my god.. am i like first.. like?
first
wanker
first
So,it's gonna cost Perez what,$1000,to get his big ass on plane?
thanks, bush. fuck you.
FUCK THAT. I'll never fly American.
We're not allowed to bring TOOTHPASTE or SHAMPOO on the plane…and if you're not willing to spend $15 to check your bag, well, then I guess you're not brushing your teeth for your whole trip. SUCKS!!!
FIRST I must say that BUSH SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate him. And his whole stinking adminstration too. They lie. They commit war crimes. All in the name of Jesus.
10th
Bush screwed us
JET BLUE BABBBBBBBBBBBBY!
Ok seriously Perez…you need to learn about politics before you start shooting off your mouth. Although, I know how most Dems haven't the slightest about how economics work. That's obvious because they blame the Prez. for every little thing that happens. OK DEMOCRATS…for the LAST TIME….THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT>>>>I REPEAT….DOES NOT…have any control over gas prices idiots!!!! It's all about supply and demand! China and India have a greater demand than the US right now and there just isn't enough oil to go around. If some Lib politicans would allow us to look for oil on our own soil, we could possibly get ourselves out of this f'ed up mess.
It's because of high fuel costs dumbass! Get used to it.
George=Worst President Ever
Fuck him
Perez, please explain — in all of your infinite wisdom about politics and the economy — exactly how this is all George W.'s fault.
Yeah, I didn't think you could.
Yeah, but most Americans voted for him the first time. The second run, I was SURE they wouldn't vote him in again. By then we had seen how horrible he was. But…sure enough! America elected him again. So it's not thanks GW Bush, it's thanks AMERICA.
FIRST!!!
How can you blame George Bush for this?
i just heard that on the news wow that really sucks…………….
WHO IS PEREZ VOTING FOR????????????????????/
U SUCK
although I am a democrat, even I know it can't entirely be Bush's fault. The economy has been getting progressively worse since the democrats became the majority in both the house and senate. it's a combo of bush, congres and even fed reserve chairman as to why our economy is oh so shiteous
SUCKS and first
not to mention the security risk that overworked, under-resourced airline staff and to many carry on bags can present. oh and 1st! ha
You said it Perez! We will also have to thank all the people who voted for him!
worst president ever!!!
vote 4 obama!!
Flying is a privilege we've let go to the dogs. If you can't afford it, get off the plane.
Dear Fatty, They charge whales sized pieces of crap like you extra also for taking up 2 or 3 seats! Oh, and that isn't the President's fault either. Have you stopped svcking your dog's d1ck yet? And we all know that Perez isn't a real f@g, he's just faking for the web.
Hey Perez
Before blaming Bush, how about you ask yourself why Southwest isnt charging for baggage?
hmmm maybe because it is actually a well run company?
Maybe.
But by all means, blame bush…its the flavor of the year.
I don't understand why assassination isn't popular anymore. I mean, SERiously! I wouldn't give a flying fuck is someone shot that bitchtard right between his stupid, beady eyes.
Bush sucks. Worst president in the history of our country and the same losers taht voted for him will vote for McCain this time around.
Will you ever learn!
Perez, I love how you like to blame all of America's problems on George Bush. Way to go, smart one. Don't do any research and then point the blame on someone just because they don't agree with your social views.
Do some research, asshat. Then maybe you'll figure out who you should be blaming.
and you can't even carry on most things anymore cause they're against the rules so you have to check them anyway and get doubley screwed…f*ckin bs
GB may not be the best president ever, but this economy sucks for many more reasons than what you think he may or may not have done. Educate yourself Mr. Hilton
People need to learn to love where they are, and stop travelling all over the god damn place. Use your legs, that's why they're there, you lazy asses!
Gas was $2.25 a gallon before the dummycrats took Congress. If they'd let us drill for our own energy, we'd have all we want. This one is ALL DEMOCRAT.
Thanks for your great work GWB!
BULLSHIT
A A was one of the worst airlines in the country before this. i will never fly american airlines in my life, after my fun little experience with them. But now, $24 for a second bag and $15 for the 1st bag??/ WTF. i say bankruptcy real soon
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
This country has much bigger problems than George Bush. Wake up people.
=(
nearly first!
Congress should vote to decrease the taxes on oil barrels and then prices would be better!
Um, wasn't it the DEMOCRAT congress that PROMISED to lower oil prices?? hmmm
And here's a news flash Perez, it's not the President's doing that oil is high..it's called OPEC and the democrats not letting the oil companies drill in our country. You are so misinformed, it's pathetic.
bush fucked us all over.. he should fuckin die, bastard!
i thought it was funny when bush pleaded to the saudis to increase oil production and they straight up said HELL to the NO to his ass. Guess all those years of ass kissing didn't pay off!!!!! hhaaaahhhhaaaahhhhahhhha
This stinks, I feel like Americas happy days are gone for a long time. First 9/11 then the war, then the economy. We're scared of terrorists, people losing jobs, inflation, What the fuck. I hope any future candidate can repair at least one of these areas. OMG. Time for change now. George, you sucked ass, but you got voted twice so really whos fault is that?
I never fly american anyway.
Re: Melissa – Better than having the other morons as president.
yes, thanks georgie boy.
Eh.
You choose who you fly with. If you want a free checked bag, pick another airline. And just think - no more lost luggage!
We've been entirely too spoiled with low energy prices thusfar.
Yeah….just what we need to encourage all these village idiots to continue carrying their life's belongings onto the plane instead of using the baggage check….sure hope this doesn't catch on…
I feel sorry for all of the illegals and non illegals coming into our country looking for peace and happiness. This is no longer the place, people. The Illegals, the war, the oil, and Bush is quickly turning America into a 3rd world country. It's spilitting the rich from the poor. People are living in their cars, and can't buy food. NO healthcare, no one cares who dies, and rice is expensive. Come on…and you know what sucks? I'm not at all religious, but the bible speaks of all of this in the last days. So yeah, continue being racist, pricks, it'll just get you to hell or dead faster.
Or maybe…thank you terrorists.
Re: PerezIsAPoliticalIdiot – YES well said
Perez you are truly the idiot in the parade. The airlines have been doing crappy long before gas went up and the prez has nothing to do w/ gas prices. the economy has continued to grow every quater of the last 7 years. give me a break and stick with dumb ass comments on pictures
leave it to the republicans to fuck everything up…
FUCK YOU PEREZ!!!!! THAT IS NOT BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More like THANKS to the people who voted for Bush-Twice. I bet these are the same people bitching & complaining about how horrible he is. Again, Thanks a lot!
Discounts for flying nude?
(I hate AA with the white-hot heat of 10,000 suns!)
You idiot, Bush has very little if nothing to do w/ the economy and he's been trying to get us to be able to get gas elsewhere, like… HERE. It's the stupid liberals that don't want us to drill here yet complain when oil prices go up b/c we rely on foreign oil. MAKE UP YOUR MIND DEMOCRATS!!
Re: Dem4Life –
FUCK YOU
yeah, it's really Bush's fault that you have to pay for your carry on's. Nevermind the fact that a little over a year ago we were seeing record high's on the stock market on almost a daily basis and the economy was booming. The reason you are having to pay for your carry on's is we consume more oil than any other country in the world. Look in the mirror, there is the problem. Oh and lets not forget all the moorons who were suckered in to adjustable rate mortages who could not afford them. Once again, look at yourself in the mirror, you have sent the economy into a downward sprial.
how the hell could you be so ignorant and blame "everything" on one man??? that is pathetic. you have no idea what you're talking about. maybe you should try educating yourself more before you make yourself sound like a dumbass again!
GWB isn't responsible. The lib Dems in Congress won't allow us to drill in ANWR and have stopped down any new refineries for over 30 years. Sometimes I hope that a Dem will get back in the white house so stupid people like Perez will realize that GWB or any president is not responsible for everything. Get off your high horse dumbass!
RIIIGHHHTT George Bush is to blame for everything in this country i cant wait till Obama gets elected and everything really goes hell
Next time you blame someone get the story straight. Bush has tried to get oil drilling going in our country but keeps getting blocked by the Democrat controlled House. They are more concerned with drilling and producing's affect on the environment than on gas prices. And they just love for you to think that it is all Bush's fault. Get your story straight Perez! And also Bush is not setting the prices, it's the oil companies that should be to blame for most of it. They are making record profits and come up with any little excuse to jack up prices to make more money.
Here's an idea..raise the price of a ticket by hundreds of dollars and keep all the
riff-raff off the planes.
Go Greyhound abay if you want cheap.
Get more trains going with better service.
It is a privilege to fly the friendly skies. Not a God Given RIGHT.
Are they really losing that much money?! Sure gas costs more but with all the taxes and surcharges are they really hurthing. Probably not. It's just that the executives don't want to miss out on thier bonuses so they lay off the "little people".
you guys are stupid if you think its not Bushs fault…
our economy is the worst.. people are losing their jobs, houses, and now they cant afford gas. We are paying 7 billion dollars a month on a war.
OPEN YOUR EYES MORONS… LIFE IN THE US SUCKS BECAUSE OUR LEADERSHIP SUCKS
I'm so sick of these people who want to blame everything on George Bush. So he's an idiot- oh well. He's not in his oval office sitting there going $4.05 a gallon today? WORKS FOR ME! Why don't you go look at the oil mongers in the middle east that are driving silver plated cars and live in houses bigger than two Vegas blocks before you start running your mouth.
Why don't you be president and see how fucking easy it is?
I hate paying high gas prices too, but can you, Perez explain how high gas prices are george bush's fault?? High gas prices are our fault, it's this simple thing called supply and demand, stupid. Not only is everyone in America driving like crazy still, but in case you didn't realize there are 6 billion other people in the world and they are consuming more and more oil with every passing day. You see when you have the same constant SUPPLY but a constant inrease in DEMAND, the natural progression is a raise in price, no matter what industry you are talking about. People complain about gas prices, and then continue to pay them, that is why they are high. Buy a bike, take public transport, even walk somewhere. Driving and gas is not a necessity, it is a commodity no matter how you look at it. Although, I am getting away from my point, what the fuck would George Bush have to do with high gas prices? Typical American, quick to blame everyone but themself.
Are you kidding me with this?? Yes, all of our problems today are from one person and one person only, the president. Yeah, right. That is not how it goes. Why don't you wake up and become an active citizen instead of sitting on your a** blaming the president for everything. Honestly, the gas prices suck and we are all feeling the crunch from it, but to purely blame this on the president is ludicrous. But then again, what would you know about policies or politics, I am pretty sure you look to Micheal Moore and celebrities for all your information.
AMerican airline sucks anyway…….there are so many other airlines that are less expensive and more comfortable, like jetblue for example, no need to pay to check bags
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GEORGE BUSH.
Please please please stick to talking about mindnumbingly stupid Hollywood gossip and leave the politics to people with at least half a brain, ok?
Aw, perez what do you care? you're able to pay that xtra charge with the proceeds of your new fashion line! Intro the new Pnasty fashion by Mario, I mean, Perez Hilton.
Perez, I'm disappointed in you. President Bush is not solely responsible for the state of our economy. And all the morons saying that Bush is responsible for the high price of oil… he's the one who's trying to drill oil that we have here at home. But the Democrats won't allow it because it's "bad for the environment." This is the worst post I've ever seen on your website.
Re: People are lazy. –
Gee, I'll have to remember that next time I want to go from say the West coast to East coast.
"thanks for everything, George Bush"… LMAO!!! i totally second that emotion.
All the assholes that voted for him should be very proud of themselves
just uncap the fricken oil resource that we have here and stop paying someone else!!!
Hmm…. I don't remember you thanking George Bush when gas prices were low.
STOP blaming Bush for everything you stupid uneducated liberal fuck heads!!!! Just wait and see what happens to the US if Obama (the Anti-Christ) gets in there!
delta is doing this too….f'd up!
I love how Perez thinks that George Bush controls everything, down to Perez's bowel movements. Please explain how you lay this at the Pres. feet. And.. if this is ALL his fault, does he also get to take credit for 7 years of an UN REAL economy w low unemployment, low inflattion, low interest rates, high profits and a record breaking stock market?
Stick to twinkess and cock perez, its all you know.
Re: Shelly the Neocon from Long Beach – Maybe the president doesn't have the power to change the price of oil, but he certainly has, at his disposal, the resources to help decrease the impact the oil prices are having on the American public. But is he? No. And why? I'm glad you asked. Because it benefits him far more to put the money into the pockets of the (already rich) middle eastern oil tycoons. His motivation is 100% selfish and 0% for the benefit of the lower and middle class citizens of this country. And that is why I AM A DEMOCRAT!
Re: argh – hey Idiot. If you can't afford the 15 extra bucks no one wants to sit next to you anyway. You probably don't want to bathe, brush your teeth, use deodorant. That all costs $$ too.
Stick to Greyhound.
you're an idiot. it has nothing to do with gw. he doesn't control the economy or gas prices.
Mario–
Please stay out of political bashing. You show your ignorance every time you post something politically based. While not a Bush supporter, I am aware that the country is not in a great place right now, but do you really think it's all Bush's and the Republicans fault? If you honestly think that you are incredibly moronic.
I hated him way before it was a trend…but I'd have to agree this man is a FUCKING QUEER! MY GOD… WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE HIM A BLOWJOB SO THAT WE CAN IMPEACH HIM???? ***I'LL SACRIFICE FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA!**
I LOVE U PEREZ!
I effing hate that man. He has done more harm to this country than any other president EVER. But isn't it amusing that the gas prices skyrocket as he's going to exit the White House. You do know that's where his investments are when he's out of office- back to teh family oil business. The rat bastard.
BUSH SUCKS! AMERICAN AIRLINES SUCKS!!
the whole f'ing kabbal. I dodn't vote for him twice ahole.
Oh, let's not leave out the Democrats in Congress, who when they were in control, and oh lookie, still are, shut down the domestic oil companies from trying to find oil in AMERICA!. And who shut down the power companies from buillding new plants. California, brown-outs ring a bell?
But as we all know, since Perez is a flaming homo and the President does not tolerate flaming homos, it is ALL THE PRESIDENTS' FAULT.
What a dipshit you are Perez!
Not only that, but now they are being super strict with the size of the carry on luggage. I was asked to check my carry on bag because it was too big. So now, if it really doesn't fit in the tiny ass luggage measurer, they won't let it through. Granted, I bought the bag and it was labeled: CARRY ON BAG.
whatever…
yup! Blame every idiot who voted for this DOUCHE! If they lose their jobs, its their own damn fault! REPUBLICANS SUCK!
Re: Shelly the Neocon from Long Beach – i totally agree!
Perez you're an idiot. If liberals like you would just let us stop relying on the middle east for oil and let us DRILL IN THE UNITED STATES LIKE GEORGE BUSH WANTS TO then we wouldn't be facing such high fuel prices. Research your facts. I'm sorry you hate republicans b/c they won't let gays marry.. but not all republicans are "evil." You're so ignorant and naive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other airlines have been doing this for some time in Europe. Gas prices are up and everyone is taking a hit for it. I deeply despise Mr. Bush, but don't for one second blame all of this on him. We have been gluttons for some time and need to refocus priorities. Would you rather the airlines shut down completely? Then we are all screwed.
