GOP senator flips out at airline, sets off security alarm

The Republican senator who found himself on a DC madam's client list is drawing new attention over "impulse control."

After missing a flight last Thursday from Washington to New Orleans,
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter opened an armed security door and went off on a United Airlines employee, according to a report filed Wednesday by (paid-restricted) Roll Call.

The door sounded a security alarm.

Vitter had arrived at the gate for a flight from Dulles Airport, only to find that the door had been closed twenty minutes prior to departure.

After setting off the security alarm, the Louisiana senator proceeded to dress down an airline employee who told him entering the restricted area was forbidden. He invoked his standing as a senator, delivering a "do-you-know-who-I-am" tirade, the paper said.

The airline worker then announced he was going to summon security.

1. Somebody needs to spank him.....

....and put him back in his crib!

[Uben]

4. I wonder if he goes on the "No Fly" list?

What better candidate?

10. That's probably Vitter's problem - pent-up frustration from not getting spanked anymore

This guy can't hire a hooker without his name getting flashed thru the news and I highly doubt this wife will spank him. So all this frustration with no release.

Good for the airline folks to stick with policy!

5. Good for the employee

I've gotten that "do-you-know-who-I-am" BS from people before. My usual response is, "Yeah, you're an asshole"

8. I once refused to cash a check for our company's PRESIDENT

I had only worked there a few months, and this older, well-dressed guy came through my line, and wanted me to cash a personal check for him.. I told him that it was company polisy to not accept out-of-state checks..

He paid with cash, and soon afterward, I was called to the office.. Imagine my expression when that guy was sitting next to my boss.. He laughed, and complimented me for NOT cashing his check..and that he had not tried to trick me..just absentmindedly forgot ..and he thought everyone "knew" him..:)

6. Remember how the right wing attacked McKinney when she got pissed off

for not being recognized.. I wonder how they'll attack poor old dirty-diaper guy:)

Perhaps we should all sent him tubes of Desitin.

15. He needs Larry Craig to show him how to behave in airports.

[Raine]

16. Aw he probably was badly in need of a diaper

change being fully "loaded" made him irritable...waa, waa, waa. :cry: :rofl:

[mtnester]

17. I notice his statement differs greatly, and I cannot WAIT

for the footage from whatever nearby video camera caught his "accidental" opening of the door and "simple conversation" with the employee.

If the fates are smiling on me this week, I beg someone at the airline to find this footage and put it on YouTube.

18. Voted against Clinton

He was always the petty one with petty issues. Voted against Clinton without asking any question on foreign affairs.

[Jennicut]

19. Can Louisiana please vote his ass out next time around?

What a waste of space in the Senate.
