DES MOINES, Iowa – (PTSD News Service) – Alec Baldwin is not the only celebrity to have run-ins with American Airlines.  GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was also asked to leave an American Airlines flight, this one from Des Moines to Atlanta because his baggage exceeded the FAA limit by over twenty-eight times.

Gingrich told stewardess Alicia Barnsworth, “Do you know who I am?” when she asked him to leave the flight before takeoff.  When she requested again that he leave the flight, he told her in a loud voice, “I have divorced women much prettier than you.”

Gingrich was finally escorted off the plane by three TSA employees, pilot, Mac McMillan and Ms. Barnsworth.  Once removed from the flight and denied boarding, Gingrich shouted, “If all you union workers had been fired and replaced with underprivileged children, this would have never happened to me.”
