Susan Feinberg, an associate professor of management and global business at Rutgers University, caused a stir in the left-wing blogosphere over the weekend with her account of witnessing House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan drinking a glass of $350-a-bottle wine at an upscale restaurant near the Capitol.
snip
Feinberg confronted Ryan, accusing him of hypocrisy for drinking an expensive wine while advocating reduced spending for Medicare and Medicaid.
snip
Ryan told TPM that his two dinner-mates had ordered the wine, and that he, Ryan, didn't know what it cost and drank only one glass.
snip
Ryan's dining companions, one of whom was a wealthy hedge-fund manager, ordered two bottles of the $350 wine. Ryan, by his own account, drank one glass but nevertheless paid for one of the bottles.

First, the photo she snapped of Ryan and two men sitting a few tables away appeared to be taken from her own table, and on that table was a bottle of wine.... the wine was a Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2005 Meursault, which is $80 per bottle at Bistro Bis.

Ryan had a glass of wine. Wheter or not he paid for the wine and it was his own personal money it is none of anyone’s business. Much less some total ignorant stranger who has never been taught any kind of manners. I hope Ryan enjoyed every sip and from now on I would say to him to IGNORE that kind of thing. If someone wants to make a big deal out of it...let them. Then we can ask others what they do at lunch or on a trip etc.
Very good point. I dislike the commentaries that some FReepers seem to feel the need to append to titles. I'll make one exception for "Barf Alert" but, that's about all.
A bit of gas:
And her students (at least 11 who say they are) do not give her high grades either, but then what do they know? Especially the two most recent.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate fly commercial and Prime Minister Cameron flies commercial.
Maybe she should spend more time on effective teaching techniques and less time on drinking.
Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate fly commercial and Prime Minister Cameron flies commercial.
Is this the latest modus operandi of the loony left—to attack conservatives in public places as they go about their day?
First Glenn Beck and family assaulted in a NYC park. Now Ryan in a restaurant. Who is giving these marching orders?
Who will criticize Moochie and Bozo at Martha’s Vineyard as they spend $2,000 on one meal of Maine lobster, Japanese beef, and assorted fine wines and desserts?
Ouch! Hard on the eyes.
Very good!

What is this churlish crank doing in a school of business?
Hey, aren’t you the guy that’s getting FOUR FEDERAL PENSIONS???? I’d watch what I’d say about anything excessive if I were you. FOUR FEDERAL PENSIONS....PAID BY ME!!!
Box O Wine is a fine tradition in my family...the one that brings it also gets lots of laughs....
I agree with you. It’s a practice that has gotten out of hand and begun to affect the quality of the forum.
Part of an ongoing discussion on that thread. The actual title of the posted article was "Gallup: Obama approval hits all-time low" and the OP had added to the title "(people are figuring out that Obama is distructive [sic])."
The "explanation" in the title box was removed by a mod, I guess.
This problem seems to have gotten better lately.
Well reasoned and presented. Thanks for sharing it.
