Heard on the Hill: Vitter Goes From Hookergate to Gate-Crashing
Roll Call ^ | 3/11/09 | Emily Heil and Elizabeth Brotherton

Among Members of Congress, there's a long-standing, proud tradition of the Airport Freakout. Add to the list of those who've indulged in meltdowns and temper tantrums while traveling one Sen. David Vitter, who on Thursday joined what we've dubbed the "Mile-Low Club" by going ballistic on an airline worker after missing a flight from Washington's Dulles airport to New Orleans.

According to an HOH tipster who witnessed the scene, the Louisiana Republican arrived Thursday evening at his United Airlines gate 20 minutes before the plane was scheduled to depart, only to find the gate had already been closed. Undeterred, Vitter opened the door, setting off a security alarm and prompting an airline worker to warn him that entering the gate was forbidden.

Vitter, our spy said, gave the airline worker an earful, employing the timeworn "do-you-know-who-I-am" tirade that apparently grew quite heated.

That led to some back and forth, and the worker announced to the irritable Vitter that he was going to summon security.

Vitter, according to the witness, remained defiant, yelling that the employee could call the police if he wanted to and their supervisors, who, presumably, might be more impressed with his Senator's pin.

But after talking a huffy big game, Vitter apparently thought better of pushing the confrontation any further. When the gate attendant left to find a security guard, Vitter turned tail and simply fled the scene..

1. the ariline worker did know who he was ...

And how do you get an "Islamic terrorist" name from Ted Kennedy? That put him on the no-fly list ...

2. now this one is good;

To: KoRn
"employing the timeworn "do-you-know-who-I-am"
Actually, the fewer people know how Vitter is, the better for him. I mean, imagine if the gate attendant had said in a nice outdoor voice, "Why, yes; you're that senator who visits hookers and likes wearing diapers."

5. They got really whiny about the "librul media" mentioning that he

is a Republican Senator from Louisiana. I guess the media isn't supposed to say that when it is a Republic behaving badly. I'm surprised they didn't insist that the article call him a "D" the way Fox Noise does.

4. I just wish the person he was yelling at would have said when

he asked if he knew who he was.."Yeah, you're diaper Dave, aren't you?"
