Hillary Clinton at a Maid-Rite restaurant during a recent bus tour of Iowa. That is where she met waitress Anita Esterday.
“I don't think she understood at all what I was saying.”

Why was that done?
Re #21. Agreed, although tipping servers in America seems to be so reflexive that an “oversight” is hard to explain. In any event, it is not news that she is a selfish, arrogant and cheap person.
Imagine a Republican doing this, twice! “Out of touch!” “Rich, white man!” It’s a good thing the Democrats are the party of the ‘common folks’ or else they would be just plain hypocrites.
WEST PALM BEACH - Peter Kessler didn't mean to start an avalanche, but now that it's rolling, he's really enjoying the show.
A week ago today, someone posted a news story that caught Kessler's eye on FreeRepublic.com, a conservative Web site. It was about Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign entourage having breakfast at a cafe in Albion, NY, and forgetting to tip the waitress - a single, uninsured mother who makes only $5,000.00 a year outside of tips.
"My comment was, 'Gee, maybe we should take up a collection for this poor woman,'" Kessler recalled.
The comment, which Kessler posted on the Web site, took off like a helium balloon in high wind, buoyed by the power of the Internet and a puff of publicity. Sympathetic and outraged readers around the globe stuck money - dollars, kroner, yen - into envelopes and mailed them to Tricia Trupo, the stiffed server at the Village House Restaurant.
"We are well, well over $1,000 for Trish," Kessler said Thursday. He said he had never spoken with Trupo, but could identify with her.
Why was what done???
You are talking about the woman who took tax deductions on used underwear given to charity when she was First Lady of Arkansas. Ever think it isn’t a mistake? She’s just cheap - at least with her own money.
Yeah but it make one hell of a political commerical against her.
I’ll look up that Maid Rite on the net and send it to her there. I’m sure they are honorable Iowa people and see that she will get it.
Maybe Rush should auction off the autograph for her to set up a scholarship fund for her kids. She sure sounded like a hard working single Mom. Just a thought.
Rush remembers his history. Want to bet he mentions this on his show today.
bigjoe, a stack full of dollar bills from people telling this waitress that they are happy to send her the money while they are still able to could go a long way toward making that little autograph lose its value in her mind.
...lol or a bake sale.
“Re #21. Agreed, although tipping servers in America seems to be so reflexive that an “oversight” is hard to explain. In any event, it is not news that she is a selfish, arrogant and cheap person.”
She has never had to pay since feeding at the gov’t trough, on our money, so she doesn’t know what things really cost, or how people who WORK for a living actually count on things like a TIP.
Also, she knows nothing about SERVICE , so expects things to be taken care of by someone else, instead of being individually sensitive and responsible.
Her operating mode is always “ someone else did it, or prevented me from doing the right thing”
Amazes me that more people don’t see through this tired act.
N/m, I think I can see.
Priceless.
And now that I think of it, if it does turn out that this woman receives much publicity and tips from caring people across America, a carefully crafted ebay auction of said autograph (ala Rush’s Senate letter) could pull big bucks.
I believe the more famous event happened a short time before this, and was downstate somewhere. Can’t remember!
GREAT Piece-that should ALSO come in very handy when Conservative go Door-to-Door themsleves to make sure THEY don’t (by accident of choice too) Forget to tell ANYONE in their Campaign if not thems PERSONALLY to “ make sure we leave this nice person a TIP before we leave.!
VERY BIG DIFERENCE?
Why Didn’t SCHRILLARY go Jump Behind the COUNTER!? and Put an Apron On and spend 15 minutes waiting on Customers?
LIKE SHE DID WHEN Visiting that Hospital?? Or Planned Parent Floor? What WAS that “ Photo-Op “ Again from a few weeks back? I forgot-but she spent a Few Hours (if I remember correctly) Walking around Bitch’n & Huffing over how “ ..IF she was shot down by the EVIL Republicans in the Houses HER HEALTH CARE BILL Would Have SAVED THE WORLD!! ANNNNND PROBLY ALDERAAN (Princess Leia’s Home Planet Darth V Blew Up!) too!!”
Amazing just WHAT “Jobs” and “Finincially/Medically HURTING Citizens “ Schrillary DIES Decide to Spend TIME with and photo Pics for her sites and those that she shoe Flies Thru or merely uses to FILL UP SPEECH TIME or dead air time on her trips.
DA
Hillary and her “entourage” left NO TIP!!!! Doesn’t this just say it all!! Please forward this to Hillary’s girl fans.
Likewise. I saw it in her husband too. But then, look at “man in the street” type interviews and consider that many of them vote. *sigh*
