She,the waitress on Friday still disputes the fact that she was tipped regardless of what Hillary's henchmen and women say. Son on one hand we have the campaign of Hillary saying "yes tip" and the tipee saying "no tip" on the other hand...
I believed the waitress from the beginning, and sure enough she told the truth and the campaign lied and still continues to do so late into Friday hoping this will disappear quickly over the weekend, which it will as soon as she says or does something stupid next week.
They say "when losers lie about even the littlest things what will they lie about next, anything and everything". And I say what more could we expect from the Clinton's and people that work for them or are associated with them, we expect nothing less than the full treatment of Clinton lies that we're all accustomed to.
NPR : "orning Edition, November 9, 2007 · A waitress causes a stir on the political blogs. The waitress at a Maid-Rite restaurant in Iowa says she did not get a tip after serving presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, a Democrat from New York. But the Clinton campaign says a $100 tip was left at the diner. Election 2008 Editor's Note: The Tale of the Tip Where It Started... * Nov. 8, 2007 When Real Lives Get Swept Into Campaign Rhetoric NPR.org, November 8, 2007 · It started as an aside in a longer interview, but it became an Internet sensation within hours."

Here now is the Editors note at NPR regarding that story that was published Friday morning:
It started as an aside in a longer interview, but it became an Internet sensation within hours.Anita Esterday, a waitress at the Maid-Rite in Toledo, Iowa, told NPR's David Greene in a report that aired on Morning Edition Thursday that "nobody got left a tip" on Oct. 8, when Clinton sat at the lunch counter and ordered up the restaurant's famous loose-meat sandwich.
Esterday served Clinton, chatted with her and later ended up as an example of a hard-working single mom in Clinton's stump speech. She told NPR she's considering voting for Clinton, but was disappointed the senator and her staff didn't make sure she got a tip for her labor.
The tip issue was a small part of an eight-minute piece about how everyday people get caught up in political campaigns. Half the story was about an incident in which another presidential candidate, Barack Obama, failed to follow up on a letter he said he might send to a supporter he met at a rally. The Obama campaign Thursday said they fired off a letter to the supporter after the story aired. But that part of the story received little mention in the blogosphere after airing Thursday.
Not so the reference to Hillary Clinton and the tip. As soon as that story aired in the 5 o'clock hour Eastern Time, it was picked up by a number of political blogs. And the Clinton campaign immediately contacted news organizations to tell its side of the story. Clinton spokesman Phil Singer wrote to NPR in an e-mail: "The campaign spent $157 and left a $100 tip at the Maid-Rite Restaurant. Wish you had checked in with us beforehand."
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.
I say typical Clinton garbage, lie lie and lie some more. "Middle class Hillary" my fat a**!The manager said he can't say for sure if Esterday was tipped for serving Clinton and her guests, Christie Vilsack and Ruth Harkin. (Vilsack is the wife of former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and Harkin is the wife of Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin). But Crawford said he believes Esterday's account that she received no tip.
"Where Hillary was sitting, there was no tip left," Crawford said. continued
With what the democrats have to offer between Obama and even Edwards, to vote for her "Slick Willie puppet regime" is a joke, and a sad one for the future of this country as well. It is however a great one for Hillary and her and Slicks personal aspirations and that's all she gives a damn about, period. Using her election tot he office to re write the slimy legacy left behind by Bill and his 8 years of miserable failures that become more apparent as each year passes by and more people from their past start telling the truth as their live start winding down .
