H.Clinton Lied About Tip

So it turns out the Clinton camp didn't tip after all.
Kos is running with this:
Esterday said "nobody got tipped that day," and NPR should have checked with the Clinton campaign before the story aired to see if any tip was left and how it was done. We regret that this was not done. On Thursday, Esterday was sticking by her story.
"Why would I lie about not getting a tip?" she told NPR. She also maintained that her co-workers at the restaurant had not received tips.
A Clinton campaign staffer called on Esterday at the restaurant Thursday after the story aired. The staff member apologized to her and gave her a $20 bill, according to Esterday. The Clinton campaign confirmed that visit. The campaign also produced photocopies of receipts showing $157.46 was paid to Maid-Rite on a VISA card on Oct. 8 for meals consumed by the candidate's entourage. The tip was supposed to have been paid in cash, and the campaign insisted such a payment was made but has declined to make available a staff member who was present at Maid-Rite and left tip money [...] "Where Hillary was sitting, there was no tip left," Crawford said.

Appearing on Kos this will hurt HRC where she lives.

Hillary did leave a tip but knowing that the waitress would want her to win took it back as a campaign contribution. See she knows best how to handle your money.

Yeah, and those savings bonds have such high yields. Just what a waitress needs.

In reality, since Democrats are always willing to spend other people’s money, the hedge fund manager that always tags along behind Hillary to take care of such things as her tips was unavailable...

Ted Kennedy’s campaign is infamous for stiffing caterers. Not for the tip, for the whole nugget. He’s got a reputation for being hard to collect from. MO is that they call a caterer, tell him they selected him because he’s got a great reputation (a little flattery) then stiff him for the bill.
Since public officials, like health inspectors, (who are generally in thrall to the Kennedy mystique) can shut down a caterer in a Boston minute, they eat the bill and chalk it up to experience.

Agree with you.
If the campaign said they left the waitress a 100 tip, than they should have gone back and dropped off a 100 tip and not a 20.00 tip as they did. I am sure the waitress was expecting a 100.00 tip as soon as the aid walked back into the restaurant. I mean, that is what the campaign had been preaching. Very stupid on Hilbe’s part.

This photo was taken 11/8/07. Hill looks a bit tired. I guess the campaigning is getting to her.

Why would any restaurant give a freebie to a politician, especially Hitlery?

The tip was supposed to have been paid in cash, hahahah. Can you imagine any one in THAT crowd parting with a hundred dollar bill?

Yeah, right. It's difficult to produce someone who doesn't exist. It is well known that Libs are TERRIBLE tippers. They only want to spend OUR money, NEVER theirs.

I thought yesterdays story was that the bill was $57 and the tip was $100
You are absolutely correct. And the story keeps changing/evolving.

After all the trouble Hillary caused for that poor waitress, as well as giving speeches about how she would improve the life of the waitress, the best Hillary can do is a measly $20 tip.
The waitress should tear it up and toss it back into Hillary’s face and say: It was never about the money, it was about being treated like a Human Being!!
But the ordeal of all the commotion that Hillary put her through no doubt left her to confused and weary for that.
She *could* still do it.

I would just prepare her a little bowl and put it on the floor.

Hillary ©, self-destructing right on schedule.
And it couldn’t happen to a more-deserving person.
To: Miss Didi
The reason that is stupid is because what the campaign needs is for this to go away. A dedicated web site produced by the Clinton campaign will draw attention to the issue.
