David Vitter: "Do you know who I am?!"

By GottaLaff

David Vitter has diaper issues, hooker issues, Obama-phobia issues, planned parenthood issues and now drive-by tantruming issues. Harrumph!

Vitter arrived 20 minutes before the plane was scheduled to depart, and found the gate locked. He then opened the door, setting off the alarm and inviting the attention of an airline worker:

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.

Apparently, he also has cowardice issues.

UPDATE-- The Dems are all over the Senator Hooker incident:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is putting heat on Louisiana Sen. David Vitter for a reported run-in with a Dulles Airport employee last Thursday as he scrambled to make a flight back to his home state.

“Sooner or later Senator Vitter should learn how to control himself,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Eric Schultz, in an apparent reference to the Louisiana Republican's past involvement with Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called "DC Madam." [...]

But Vitter suggested Wednesday the report was overblown.

"In a rush to make my flight home for town hall meetings the next day, I accidentally went through a wrong door at the gate," Vitter said in a statement first reported by The Times-Picayune. "I did have a conversation with an airline employee, but it was certainly not like this silly gossip column made it out to be."

Silly gossip indeed! But, just for the sake of argument, let's assume the report was exaggerated. That would be outrageous! Criminal! Completely unfair and unjust! Scandalous! I mean, it's not like the Rushpublicans would ever play fast and loose with the facts if the tables were turned.

Never mind.
