Mayor Michael Bloomberg hailed the Republican National Convention as an
economic boon to the city, but it turned out to be a bust for the poor saps
stuck serving the tight-fisted Bush girls. According to the New York Post's
Page Six, the debaucherous twins spent all night Wednesday getting trashed
at the Manhattan club Avalon, and then stiffed the help. As the Post
reports, "They [and their entourage of about 25] drank $4,500 dollars worth
of drinks - bottles and bottles of vodka,' says a club insider. 'Then,
having been comped all the alcohol, they left a $48 tip. We thought 1 per
cent was kind of outrageous, considering they are the president's
daughters.'"

Leave aside what this says about the girls' respect for working people.
These kids and their friends swilled $180 worth of booze per person. A
galloping sense of entitlement, apparently, isn't the only thing that runs
in the Bush family.

I can just imagine the girl's attitude. They probably figure the help is
'lucky to have a job'.

I don't think so. They realize that the truly "lucky" don't need a job, and
never will.

This must be a standard post-convention
schtick.

Weren't there almost exactly identical stories about how the Democrats, or John
Kerry personally, stiffed the help at restaurants around Boston?
