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:

anyone else who did that would still be getting a cavity check. Entitled bastid.

Stealing a comment FTA:

Sorry, didn't recognize you without the diaper and the whore.

"I did have a conversation with an airline employee, but it was certainly not like this silly gossip column made it out to be."

Roll Call is a gossip rag? Well spank my ass and call me Sally!

what_now: anyone else who did that would still be getting a cavity check.

he is a republican congressman... maybe a cavity check is what he was hoping for

CheetahOlivetti: Sorry, didn't recognize you without the diaper and the whore.

LOL

"..accidentally went through a wrong door at the gate," Vitter said in a statement.

Oh go fark yourself. If I "accidentally" a security door at an airport, I'd be in jail.

I'm pretty sure that had anybody without a Senate pledge pin on thier uniform tried that; they'd be having LONG conversations witht he DHS and FBI and facing federal charges for "interfering with Aircraft operations"

Honestly. And it's not like this was his first trip home from DC.

Culture of entitlement.

"Do you know who I am?"

Yeh, you're an employee. No better than the person you were addressing. Piss off and buy another farking ticket.

The whole thing?

what should i do...is this dangerous?

Hang On Voltaire: Culture of entitlement.

Indeed.

He was


RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

This important man is on a schedule, people - amendments to vote on, town halls to get to, gyms to be at 26 minutes from now...

Is departure time when it is supposed to push off from the gate, because I have never had a plane with closed doors 20 minutes before pushing off from the gates (except once when the plane didn't work...it never pushed off)

we need a video of that fine specimen of a Republican!

Gentlemen!!

FTFA:

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.

Ah yes, perfectly predictable behavior from the Republicanus Hypocriticus (sub species: Social Issue Conservativium).

I saw that one too. Pure Gold!

ohh too bad he cant fly around in his own 757 like pelosi!

rofl that's gold. I hope Stewart's people are cruising round here today and see that one.

Diogenes: Roll Call is a gossip rag? Well spank my ass and call me Sally!

His prepared statement is disgusting. I'm angry as hell just for having read it.

Vitter is among the finest of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do crowd. Tired from a long arduous campaign of how Family Values will restore honor to office? Get yourself a hooker. Have a tantrum at an airport? Just claim that you went through the wrong door in your zeal to attend some town hall meetings back home.

Fark you, Vitter. It's not so much your actions that I hate...it's that you predicate your entire existence upon the idea that your brand of 'values' is what makes you the superior choice.

I came into this thread for the "Animal House" pledge-pin-on-your uniform reference. magorn did not disappoint me.

Headso: ohh too bad he cant fly around in his own 757 like pelosi!

yeah, because he isn't in a position of power.


/unless you count reverse cowgirl in a diaper a position of power

Headso: ohh too bad he cant fly around in his own 757 he's not in the presidential line of succession like pelosi!

FTFY, dumbass. I bet you're all het up that Obama has his own plane - bought, paid for, fueled up, and maintained by YOUR tax dollars.

If I was on a plane with Vitter, I'd "open the wrong door" at 36,000 feet.

// "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?"

come on - someone said "chinese"

Nothing to see here, overzealous staffer congressman.

Hobodeluxe: Diogenes: Roll Call is a gossip rag? Well spank my ass and call me Sally!

again?

Thank you, Sir! May I have another?

Lackofname: Nothing to see here, overzealous staffer congressman Pampers.

Too bad he didn't fall off the end of the jet bridge.

Do you know who I am?

Yea, you're the idiot that ran on a family values ticket and got caught with a hooker.

/Bitter that Spitzer resigned and numb skulls like this still run loose in congress

Diogenes: Well spank my ass and call me Sally!

is what Vitter pays hookers to do to him.

Q: Do you know who I am!?
A: A self-important douche.

Every single time, without fail.

Hang On Voltaire: Culture of entitlement.

Don't forget the Culture of Victimhood. It's always someone else's fault with Republicans...

I had one of Dick Gephart's aids try and pull the "Do you know who I am" card on a coworker last summer. I work in a theater and we were ticketing some DNC event and sold out. Of course Gephart's staff didn't reserve his tickets in time and were SOL. The aid, after having been told that we were sold out multiple times, even for Mr. Gephart, said "Do you know who HE is?" like we are a bunch of dumbfark hillbillies and my coworker (who's an extremely biatchy gay man) turned to the aid and told him politely "This is Denver, not DC, we follow the rules here. I suggest you try to buy a ticket from someone that has one." It was hi-fricking-larious to see how pissed the aid got. Good times.

Churchy LaFemme: Don't forget the Culture of Victimhood. It's always someone else's fault with Republicans...

Republicans: they like finding victims.
Democrats: they like being victims.

No wonder politics in this country are so hard to change.

Ender's: Headso: ohh too bad he cant fly around in his own 757 like pelosi!

/unless you count reverse cowgirl in a diaper a position of power

Oh yeah, the reverse cowgirl is absolutely a position of power.

zarberg: Republicans: they like finding victims.
Democrats: they like being victims.

No wonder politics in this country are so hard to change.

Well, that's a glib little bon mot. Too bad it makes no sense whatsoever.

That's not what I'm saying, zarberg.

It's Republicans who are the 'victims' these days. They take responsibility for nothing and blame their failings on others. See: affirmative action, liberal media, Nancy Pelosi, immigrants, Democrats, unions, and on and on and on and on...

You know who else said: "Do you know who I am?" don't you.



/forgive double and triple negatives, please?

You don't show up a mere twenty minutes before the plane departs.

You go through security, like everyone else. Arrive 1-2 hours (or more, depending on the airport and the time of year) early like everyone else.

Or get a private jet.

/but don't get a private jet and then biatch to congress about how you have no money.

The rage of Fark over this, compared to the defending of Pelosi's flight situation is the biggest sign of hypocrisy I've seen in awhile.

Farkers, you have really outdone yourselves, really. It's amazing.

I'd also like to point out that this whole thing is simple contrived by some "anonymous spy" whereas Pelosi had copies of email demonstrating her attitude and rage when a luxury jet wasn't available to shuffle her around the country at the drop of a hat.

"Do you know who I am?"

John?

I'm perfectly capable of resenting Pelosi while still mocking Vitter's behavior.

Let's get some good Fark examples of when it is appropriate to use the phrase "You who I am don't you?"

- You are Chris Brown and a date is yelling at you

- You are Amy Whinehouse and someone asks if you want a bong hit

- You are Dick Cheney and someone asks you if you want a hug.

FEMA_CAMPER: come on - someone said "chinese"

I believe that's a Japanese accent.

Um, its called Air Force One.
