Rep. Bob Filner didn’t just lose his luggage on Sunday night, he allegedly lost his temper, too. The California Democrat is being charged with assault and battery following an incident at Dulles International Airport in which Filner allegedly pushed an airline worker and refused to leave an employees-only area, according to a statement given to HOH by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
