After a moment of silent consideration, I ended up going with, "Ow! Excuse me, Senator, but you just ran over my foot with your carry-on!" He didn't even slow down.

I tried to think of what to say, but in the end could come up with nothing graceful. So I said nothing. What would I say to Cindy Sheehan? "I'm sorry for your loss" and then let it lay. If the conversation went further, I'd explain that my son served as a prison guard in Iraq. From time to time, I run into people who are very critical of the war in Iraq, President Bush, and his administration. It happened just this weekend when I was sitting next to a very old vet on a flight out East. I usually acknowledge that the situation is very difficult, and then I talk about my son's experiences at Camp Bucca and sentiments that I've read directly from Iraqis. I can't recall ever parting on bad terms from one of these conversations - at least in my perception. Pray this will all be over sooner than later, and Cindy Sheehan and her abusive enablers will have no platform for making fools of themselves.

Sure it's a sickening thought, but it'd be good for a laugh. At least to those of us with the mentality of a 12 year old.
