  1. The comment on the TPM post should have been your headline…

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you without a diaper and a whore”

  2. Thanks for this post.

    With the oceans turning to acid
    and millions unemployed
    and millions homeless
    and the financial system crashing
    and the national debt growing by
    $40Billion ($40,000,000,000) every week
    and the ice caps melting
    and 90% of the positions in the new administration unfilled
    and Seattle’s economy imploding
    I really am glad to find out this juicy tidbit of gossip about a Conservative Republican politician from 2,000 miles away.

    Because you would never find something like this on the National Enquirer site.

  3. It seems a little implausible that (1) the doors would be closed 20 minutes before a flight and (2) no gate agent would be around to help him. If this incident really happened, it was probably more like 10 minutes (which actually would make him sound like more of a douche).

  4. @9 – I meant that no gate agent would be around to help him before he decided to walk through the door and set off the alarm. Though, in re-reading the story, I guess an agent could have been there and Vitter just ignored him/her altogether…

    By the way, Vitter has responded with this statement:

    “After being delayed on the Senate floor ensuring a vote on my anti-pay-raise amendment and 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. “I did have a conversation with an airline employee, but it was certainly not like this silly gossip column made it out to be.”

  5. 10, Again you are so obsessed with me that you keep impersonating me. Do you lay awake at night thinking about me? Do you scour the SLOG looking for my posts? I love it. I have an internet stalker.

  6. I don’t mean to press the hot buttons of any subs out there but…um…you have to admit, the turning-tail-and-running behavior after the airport worker went off to get someone kind of reinforces a stereotype many have about subs. I’m sure that, like all stereotypes, it’s mostly incorrect, and that many, many male subs out there are guys with balls, who would at least have waited for a gate attendant and had the guts to say, “Hey, you’re right, I’m wrong, sorry about the ugly scene, I’ll find another flight.” But Vitter obviously ain’t one of them. Cowardly WORM!!! 😉

    An aside: If you think about it, outside of politics, there actually isn’t much difference between Vitter and Sam Adams. Both are arrogant asshole politicians with, shall we say, non-normative sexual pursuits. I wonder if there’s a disproportionate amount of this among politicians compared to the general population?

  7. 14, the SLOG staff can tell that you are the fake because I’ve always included my email address with all my posts.

    I know you’re upset about being bested in the debate over Sam Adams, and that your fuming that he’s still mayor of Portland. I love that you can’t get me out of your head because of that. I live in your head rent free now.

    Which is almost as cheap as living with my momma and I no longer have to put up with the cat feces all over the upholstry and my toothbrush.
