Texas Democratic Congressman, Pete Gallago from the bustling metropolis of Alpine, Texas, which is so far out there that they don’t get the Today show until tomorrow, found himself on an airplane with a 3 year old who began choking on his chicken nuggets.

The child’s mother, who was also tending to her six month old, realized what was happening and began screaming for help.

Bubba and Pete, when nobody was chokin’

Gallego is father himself, so he did the maneuver and …

Gallego put one hand on the kid’s back, and the other on his sternum. “I knew what was going to happen, so I aimed him forward,” he said. But at the critical moment, Cash turned to look at the congressman. “I ended up with chicken nuggets on my chest.”

Now, just think.  If that had been Louie Gohmert, the kid would have been forced to show his birth certificate, proof of insurance, and signed a thousand word oath that he is not a terror baby.  Even then, Gohmert would have prayed over him for half an hour before doing anything.

So, lesson learned.  If you’re ever on an airplane with a child, be sure to sit next to a Texas Democratic congressman.  (They are gonna love me for that, aren’t they?)
