| Description | WASHINGTON - Citing an anonymous "tipster," a column in the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call is reporting that Sen. David Vitter, R-La., went "ballistic on an airline worker after missing a flight from Washington's Dulles airport to New Orleans," last week.
Vitter said today that Roll Call is making much too much of the incident.
"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."
A spokeswoman at the airport authority that runs Dulles Airport, about 40 minutes from the Capitol in suburban Virginia, said she doubts a police report was filed about the incident. The airline did not comment on the report. |
