Clinton Camp Denies Charge Candidate Skipped Tip at Local Restaurant
Thursday , November 08, 2007
A Hillary Clinton campaign aide outright rejected a report Thursday that the Democratic frontrunner did not leave a tip for a waitress at a restaurant in Iowa last week.
Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer told FOX News unequivocally that the campaign paid $157 for the meals it ate at the Maid-Rite diner near Boone, Iowa, and left a $100 tip. He said he doesn't know what happened after that.
Singer would not say if the campaign was demanding a retraction from National Public Radio, which issued the report stating that Clinton did not leave any gratuity, even though she later weaved the personal story of the working, single mother into her stump speeches on the campaign trail. The radio station also claimed in its reporting that the meal had been on the house.

Hey maybe someone lifted the tip and donated it to the GOP!!!
democrats=lousy tippers.
waitstaff of America unite.
So now not only did she stiff a single working mom, she’s calling her a liar too.
$100 tip? Sounds like she was trying to buy a vote.
Or, if I was a Hillary contributor, I’d wonder if her campaign was blowing money.
After all, I only make $8 an hour working in a laundry.
jeez, it’s tough to pick sides in this one.
What a pile of BS!! Damn lairs!
Why is clinton swiftboating this woman? Why is she attacking her family?
So, who’s lying here?
As usual theres always a thats not the way it happened story.
I think this waitress would also “cherish” the tip from Hildabeast in addition to the autograph.
After all she could probably sell both on EBAY to someone....
Hillary told the waitress not to invest in the stock market as this time.

Why, I bet they always leave a 64% tip!
I bet the $100 was tipped AFTER the story broke.
Read some of the funny comments and leave one here.

Who would benefit the most from you believing the lie...?
Uh, oh. I wonder if the owner intended to stiff his employees and pocket the tip for himself.
