Walker Spends Night On Denver Airport Floor
Governor Stuck Because Of Hail Storm
Updated: 1:06 pm CDT July 14, 2011

Wisconsin's governor was among hundreds of people who spent the night at Denver's main airport because of a hail storm.

Gov. Scott Walker tweeted on Thursday that he was headed to a National Governors Association meeting in Salt Lake City when he got stuck at Denver International Airport Wednesday night.

Airport spokeswoman Laura Coale said the storm damaged about 40 planes and caused delays and cancellations. She said about 1,000 people had to spend the night in the airport.

Walker tweeted that security recommended that he stay in a conference room, where he said he slept on the floor after airport staff got him a blanket and pillow.

The governor tweeted that he wasn't able to change clothes for 28 hours.

2. Airport or Homeland Security should have kicked him awake and told him that he was loitering.

8. I'm sure he had the First Class lounge to lay about in...
He'd never associate with the common rabble flying coach.
