If They Start Climbing Over the Tables, George, Run!
Charlotte Observer: $2,000 meal, but no utensils0 comments
At the bottom of the menus distributed at President Bush's $1.5 million Charlotte fund-raiser Monday:
"At the request of the White House, silverware will not accompany the table settings," it said in discreetly fine print.
No silver. No plastic.
The lack of utensils might have been why many plates went virtually untouched.
The reason: So the tinkle of silver wouldn't disrupt the president's speech.
Not even a plastic tinkle.
Funny, but Republicans have been tinkling on people for years. It's what they do.
Maybe George W. Bush just doesn't like the idea of standing up in front of 750 people with weapons in their hands. Even if the people supposedly support him and the weapons are plastic.
