NY GOP strategist gives his take on Tea Party 'screaming match' in Oneonta
http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/201...

Will you ever be allowed back in the Neptune Diner in Oneonta?

I’ve been to the Neptune Diner several times. During the Paladino effort, we would stop there intentionally because of the fine quality of the food. I would be upset if they would not let me back in. But it wasn’t me that was thrown out. It was the Tea Party, because they stiffed the waiters.

Seriously?

Yes, they stiffed the waiters. They left a less-than-10 percent tip and the manager went over and said, ‘We would appreciate it if you don’t come back.’ I saw the waitresses. They were visibly upset, because they had been working like crazy, and the Tea Party folks stiffed them.

..."For every 50 to 100 Tea Party folks who are there for Constitutional principles, one is there simply because we elected a black President. There are wonderful, incredible people in the movement. But when we were at a Tea Party event in Broome County, a leader of that local Tea Party got close in the bar and, to me, quietly made a threat to the President.

Read the whole thing. It was entertaining but not long enough to settle with some popcorn.

Bwahh ha ha ha ha!!!!
