The tale of Hillary and the waitress:

Waitress: I was left no tip.

The campaign: We paid $157 for food and left a $100 tip.

The waitress: I never got anything. The restaurant manager told reporters she left the tip because he didn’t want his restaurant to be overwhelmed with reporters’ calls.

An addendum to the story above: “[Editor’s Note: after the tip controversy became a national story, the Clinton campaign returned to the restaurant and left $20].”

So, if they felt the need to go back and leave $20 (12.7 percent, less than the 15 percent I thought was standard), then the first claim that they left $100 – and inherent accusation that the waitress is a liar — is inoperative, huh?
