Hah! The man involved in the plane altercation with Mitt Romney on Tuesday is a well-known person in his own right and, if the accounts read correctly, has a different version of the facts.

According to TMZ (yeah, I know, but Huffpo says the Nation Enquirer is up for a Pulitzer):
The mystery man who was tossed off an airplane for allegedly attacking Mitt Romney has finally been revealed -- it was one of the guys from LMFAO ... and he claims Romney is the one who got physical first!
Oops there go the Rap votes.
According to rapper SkyBlu from the group LMFAO, it started on a Tuesday flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles.
he leaned his seat back while the plane was still on the tarmac ... and Romney, who was sitting behind him, started yelling at him to put his seat back up.
Sky Blu claims Romney then reached forward and grabbed his shoulder ... so he slapped the Presidential wannabeen's hand away. Shortly after, authorities boarded the plane and escorted Sky Blu off the flight
According to the rapper, other members of the group got the altercation on tape.
I can't wait.
On Tuesday, Romney spokespeople said the rapper got violent first but, as TMZ correctly notes, never mentioned whether Romney touched the other passenger.
SkyBlu, a democrat, said that the incident was an "unfortunate situation" and he's sure Mitt (a Republican) is a "nice guy" ... but not someone he'd vote for.
Maybe someone he'll testify against, who knows?
It's possible Mitt's going to be sorry he let the dogs out on this one.
