We Hate Your T-Shirt; Off the Plane

A Southwest Airline pilot objected to a t-shirt (saying "Good Bush, Bad Bush") being worn by a passenger (a Republican passenger, btw), so he had the crew tell the passenger that unless he covered up the t-shirt, he would have to leave the plane. According to the passenger, however, although he offered no argument and buttoned up his overshirt to completely obscure the t-shirt, he and his wife were both removed from the plane once the passenger asked the crew to whom he could write and complain about the treatment.
