Waitress in a new "Clinton doesn't tip" story to reporter: “You people are really nuts.”

:applause:

For the record: I'm not a fan of Clinton, but I'm even less of a fan of the media.

Clinton Gets an Instant Chance to Wield a New Weapon
By JIM RUTENBERG <"Sarah Wheaton contributed reporting." (Not sure which one was called "nuts.")



...

Reached at her home in Iowa, the waitress, Anita Esterday, said that neither she nor a colleague who helped serve Mrs. Clinton recalled seeing any tip.

She said a local staff member of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign was in the restaurant on Thursday to tell them that the campaign had left a tip.

She said that when she and her colleague said they had not seen a tip, the staff member gave each of them $20.

Ms. Esterday said she did not understand what all the commotion was about.

“You people are really nuts,” she told a reporter during a phone interview. “There’s kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now — there’s better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn’t get a tip.”

And they have a story they like to push - i.e. Hillary Clinton is a phoney and a liar. They are going to push it all year long. I'm not a fan of Clinton either, but this is going to get annoying.

:rofl:

if this is really that important to people then this world is even more fucked up than I thought

and the campaign folks

There are more important things in the world going on and the lady who gave this comment to the press rocks!

Sounds like Esterday is leaps and bounds ahead of
most Congress critters in the common sense and priorities
department.

"Common Sense Don't Make No Sense No More"

and there was a 100 dollar tip, that the manager pocketed she wanted to be sure she held on to her job.

Character assassination at it's finest. :eyes:

Hmmm, could it have been the owner, the one they handed it to? The lesson here is to give them only to the waitstaff directly.

QED

The American media is an embarassment.

The media is nuts!

If it weren't for 9-11, we'd still be hearing about Gary Condit and Chandra Levy.

There is something wrong with the media:

about it.

The Iraq War and the human lives lost there hold no value to the powers that be. It's all about the bling baby. :puke:

Could his first name begin with a J and his last name with an E?

Who among us wouldn't love to take similar advantage of an opportunity like Ms. Esterday had?

to this.. Thank you, Anita Esterday!

Great find B! :yourock:

And she was tipped $20 by a Clinton staffer after the story broke.

Someone's lying. I'm pretty sure it's not Esterday.
