They were on the same plane coming back from Iowa, and evidently Franken didn't think he should have to wait in the lines for security and kept haranging the airline personnel to give him special treatment so he could avoid the wait.

That incident has been reported in the NY Post (PageSix) as well:

LEFT-wing shill Al Franken is as big a spoiled brat as any Hollywood star. As hundreds of journalists patiently waited up to three hours to catch flights out of over-packed Des Moines Airport following the Iowa Caucus, a frenzied Franken marched to the front of the line. "He threw a complete drama queen snit," says a witness. "He went up to the security check-in and kept whining, 'I can't miss my flight!' - but the security guards wouldn't even entertain it." The reporters weren't amused: "There were a lot of other players in the line and we were all shouting at him, 'Hey, we're here too!'"

Thanks for the info.

Beck said he wished he'd had a tape recorder because the guy was really acting like a jerk.

Instead, Beck walked up to him and asked if he could have someone take his picture with Franken (because he said that would at least prove he had been on the same flight.)

Here's the link to the photo, LOL:
