Here's the NY Post version referenced above:

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!'"

The airport incident also has been discussed on the thread about Franken attacking a LaRouchie heckler, here. Gosh darn it, Al, people don't like you!

With this, Franken has just pooped in his own bath water. It's fine with the media if he acts like this when there's a conservative on the other end. But it's an entirely different matter when he pulls those stunts on them.

Mr. Franken should have learned a lesson from the Clymer incident -- the media's response was pretty much silent assent to Bush and Cheney's little exchange, because Clymer had been a Clymer for a long time, to everybody.
