Fer Gawds sake. Maybe they left a tip. Maybe they didn't. If they didn't it was just an oversight.

Can;t we move on to something more substantial, like how John Edwards combs his hair?

in her soup!!!!

(on edit added:)
While I certainly don't support HRC, that this story even has any legs... is a sad, sad reflection on the state of the press.

4. You should care because of the lies that are spread. Back in
February 2000 Hillary Clinton had just kicked off her NY Senate re-election campaign.Out of nowhere, a story appeared on "The Washington Times" about a woman who was:a single mother - serving a (gratis!) breakfast to Hillary in a diner - stiffed out of a rightfully-earned tip. It was picked up by "The Drudge Report", then the national media, and enjoyed several days' notoriety.
Flash-forward to 2007; Hillary Clinton is in a tight primary race in Iowa.Once again, seemingly out of nowhere, a story appears - this time on NPR's "Morning Edition" about a woman who is: a single mother - serving a (gratis!) breakfast to Hillary in a diner - stiffed out of a rightfully-earned tip....also posted on Drudge....

DO YOU GET THE PICTURE? YOU SHOULD...

11. No one said you should be shocked
BenDavid said you care about lies. You do seem to care about lies, but only when you think Hillary has told one. When the media does it, you don't care about the truth to even find out what the facts are

12. If the situation had arisen about any candidate I'd feel the same way
It's distracting trivia.

8. Apparently I totally missed out on "tipgate" because I have
the thirty or so habitual, coordinated disrupters on ignore.

Amazing how that works........

I have no idea what this latest brouhaha is all about.

13. Well, lemme sum it up:
NPR reported that the Hillary campaign ate lunch at a restaurant, and then didn't pay the bill/ didn't leave a tip. NPR retracted the story after the manager of the restaurant confirmed that the bill was paid, and a tip (100$) was left. Hillary's campaign can produce a reciept for the meal, but since the tip was paid in cash (and therefore is not on the reciept), a few DUers continue to make a big deal out of it.

21. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me. And Hilary's not even my 2nd choice,
let alone my 1st.

Hint: put the serial and repeat spammers (you know the ones I mean) on Ignore and you, too, can enjoy the new, uncluttered DU.

19. At least one of them earned a tombstone for this particular stupidity.
So, probably at least one of your ignores is now redundant!

9. What's wrong with you?
I tip well and I'm not rich. The waitress via phone interview said today that a Clinton staffer gave each of them $20.00 She doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. But you're not outraged! :sarcasm:
