Neal Boortz, a talk radio show host out of Atlanta, used to refer to Cynthia McKinney as an aisle bird. She would make sure that she always had a seat by the aisle during a presidential address so she could get face time with the cameras and the president.
To get a seat by the aisle, you have to assume your perch early in the day. During one of the State of the Union speeches, Boortz said that a Congressman would have to arrive five to six hours early and STAY in the seat. A Congressman cannot send an intern to waste time waiting for the cameras.
You can then feel good if you watched the President’s healthcare address to the joint sessions of Congress Wednesday night if you are from the 2nd District. It seems that Georgia has a new aisle bird. Congressman Sanford Bishop got a lot of face time with President Obama where he “showed him the love.” Too bad that Bishop couldn’t have spent that wait time working for his district instead of sitting in a seat.

Ah, this is Bishop at his best.
Never waste a good photo op. If waits are as long as Neil claims, the man sure has better kidneys than me!
Aisle birds can be likened to a dodo bird in my book. And hopefully, Sanford will join the ranks of the dodo after the next election. Would like to see him in another photo–leaving his office for the last time.
Bobby Ray,
Judging from this news story in ABC News, I doubt that his kidneys are any better than yours…

I had forgotten about Sanford Bishop urinating in a cup on an airliner. He is certainly a class act.
Everyone needs a hobby.
Of course, for our beloved Congressman, it’s apparently urinating in a cup while standing in a secure section of an aircraft. Nice!
He had to go then and he has to go now!
Don’t watch ABC so missed that one. Sanford just doesn’t have much class. Too bad he didn’t get in a “contest” with a passenger and try to write his name on the bulkhead wall!
