Louisiana Sen David Vitter missed his plane and Dulles Airport last Wednesday, and he was not amused.
Vitter, who recently gained infamy after being identified on the D.C. Madam's Phone List, found his gate closed, so he went through an armed security door. Why not? He's got that Senator's pin, after all, right? That gives you access to all areas of the airport ... right?
As you might expect, an alarm went off as he then tried to verbally rip an unsuspecting United Airlines gate attendant a new one. Apparently, he even tried to pull rank. Come on. Would that even work in his home state?
When the employee exited to find a security guard, Vitter ran away.

The ruling class (be it D or R) shall not be bossed around by mere peons.
The Culture of Entitlement strikes again! Just because the perp is one of ours, doesn’t make it OK.
He needs to be primaried.
No mention of his political party. Would that, by default, make him a Democrat???
Excuse my ignorance of this guy. I’ve heard his name before but don’t know squat about him.
No, he is an R, just an establishment RINO.
He’s a republican
Assuming this is true, I would not mind seeing this guy go. THis guy has a long trail of being a real pr__k.

Interesting .. I had to go to the Source’s Source to find out this was a GOP acting like such a LIBERAL!!
He should have called Grandma Botox and asked if he could use one of her Air Force jets...
Thanks for the info.
Since Vitter stopped visiting his special friend, he's been feeling, uh, anxious, as Beetlejuice put it...
He needs his diaper changed.
There’s no excuse for this guy’s actions but at LEAST he was flying commercial.
No, he’s one of ours. And a conservative to boot. I don’t care who they are. Act like this and it’s time to get voted out of office. Assuming that the news report is accurate, of course.
Maybe his Ho was on the plane?
Evidently, being a real pr__k is helpful in dealing with Senate democrats. If you look at some of the past year's worth of hot-button topics, Vitter has consistently been doing a good job.
“Ive heard his name before but dont know squat about him.”
Chances are, you heard his name in connection with the DC Madame Scandal. As for party, he’s unfortunately one of ours.
Don't you know who I am???
Quasi-RINO at the worst. Vitter supported Giuliani early in the primary season, but he was also at center stage in the fight against the Bush/Kennedy amnesty bill.
