Diaper Dave Vitter is at it again...
no not prostitutes, but acting like an asshole...

Sen. David Vitter does not have a lot of fans these days at Cups, the go-to coffee shop in the brick-lined basement of the Russell Senate Office Building.

The cafe was jammed Wednesday afternoon -- with about a dozen tired staffers and visitors waiting patiently on line for caffeine boosts -- when Vitter, the Louisiana Republican, Rhodes Scholar and sex scandal survivor, strolled in, according to an eyewitness.

Walking past the throng, Vitter peered nonchalantly at the display case, like he was perusing the goods -- then jutted his arm up, attracting the attention of an employee, who dutifully served him his Joe.

"I was like, 'What?'" said POLITICO's incredulous spy. "But you couldn't say anything. I mean, he's a Senator."

Back in March...
David Vitter doesn't like it when airlines don't wait for him, according to Political Wire, and he made it known at Dulles last week:

The Louisiana senator arrived at his gate to find it already closed and then "opened the door, setting off a security alarm and prompting an airline worker to warn him that entering the gate was forbidden." Vitter "gave the airline worker an earful, employing the timeworn 'do-you-know-who-I-am' tirade that apparently grew quite heated."
But apparently the airline worker didn't have the D.C. Madame's little black book handy, so:

... when the worker left to find a security guard, Vitter "turned tail and simply fled the scene."
Typical. All self-blustering importance one moment, cutting and running from consequences the next.

2. God, how wonderful would it have been for the airline worker to say, "Sure, Diaper
Dave, I know who you are."

3. As Mister Rogers would put it:
"Can YOU say 'boundary issues'?"

10. Yes -- according to Wiki:
Vitter was born and raised in New Orleans. He attended Harvard University for his undergraduate studies and Tulane University for law school in addition to winning a Rhodes Scholarship to University College, Oxford.

6. I don't want to defend a person I don't respect, but if he had paid a week or month
in advance for his coffee and it was plain coffee - it might pass - meaning no change has to be made and no special concotions have to be prepared. That would make sense for me, rationally.

(However, if he browbeat them into this arrangement and others had to wait while he paid or wait while they prepared their most involved drink - it would be just like him). I would stop going there after I wrote a letter telling them why.)
