Hotline On Call: Harkin Teaches Brad Pitt A Lesson

Hollywood actors can get a really big head, sometimes. I'm a big movie fan, and I really like Brad Pitt, but pretending to be someone else for a living and smooching with Angelina Jolie only confers a limited amount of importance. Hotline On Call (via Political Wire) reports on the actor's visit to Senator Tom Harkin's office.

When Pitt's team first requested the meeting with the Iowa senator, they laid down some conditions: clear the office. Don't introduce Pitt to anyone. Don't talk about the visit ahead of time.

But we're told the senator didn't take kindly to being told what to do in the confines of his own office.

So when Pitt, sporting black hair and a bushy beard, showed up around 2:00 pm, every available member of the Harkin staff -- even if they were busy -- was arrayed around the office. Harkin proceeded to introduce them to Pitt, one by one. "He got the personal introduction, along with their function and everthing else," says someone who was there.

Smack! As the old saying goes, you must know your limitations.
