quade 4 #4 August 6, 2009 QuoteMaking a request is not diva like. Making a request and then throwing a tantrum when it's denied is. It's also the expectation that you can just waltz in and and be seated in front of others. Please, I dare you or any of "the little people" to do this and get away with it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,095 #5 August 6, 2009 I for one am glad she's back in public. It's fun to watch her antics, and even more fun to watch all the democratic and republican knees jerk as she is attacked and defended respectively. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #6 August 6, 2009 She went to a restaurant in NYC without a reservation and asked for seating by the window - apparently without alerting the paparazzi. She is setting a new standard for divas, all right. Eating at a restaurant without a reservation and no paparazzi is outrageous! My wife is hotter than your wife.

She seemed quite nice from what I hear and did not act like a politician, just a hunter and avid shooter who is a MILF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #15 August 7, 2009 Okay. So I decided to go to Michael's web site to see what the policy is. http://www.michaelsnewyork.com/reservations.html Quote Michael's writes... A unique, spacious dining and garden room filled with fresh flowers and modern art by Stella, Johns and Hockney as well as sculptures by Robert Graham. Dining Style: Casual Dining Cuisine: American Neighborhood: Midtown West Cross Street: 5th & 6th Ave. Menu: View menu on restaurant's website Price: $31 to $50 Website: http://www.michaelsnewyork.com/ Email: michaelsrestaurant@citysearch.com Phone: (212) 767-0555 Hours of Operation: Breakfast: Monday - Friday: 7:30am - 9:30am Lunch: Monday - Friday: 12:00pm - 2:30pm Dinner: Monday - Saturday: 5:30pm - 10:30pm Closed Sunday Payment Options: AMEX, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, Visa Executive Chef: Robert Ribant Dress Code: Casual Dress Accepts Walk-Ins: Yes Additional Details: Banquet/Private Rooms, Bar/Lounge, Beer, Counter Seating, Full Bar, Takeout, Wine Public Transit: Take the N/R trains to 55th Street and 7th Avenue Parking: No Parking Details: There is a parking lot across the street. Apparently, walk-ins are acceptable. Thus, I am startled that it is an issue for failing to make a reservation when reservations are not necessary. Had Pelosi done such a thing I wouldn't have a problem with it. Walk-Ins are accepted. She walked in. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had she called for reservations, I'm sure it would have been a laughing stock because reservations are not needed there. Hey, it's Bible Spice in New York! She doesn't belong.

futuredivot 0 #18 August 7, 2009 Quote It's also the expectation that you can just waltz in and and be seated in front of others. Need help with the big words? She asked for a table in the front, not to be seated ahead waiting guests. My wife and I (little people that we are) often request seating in a certain area if we have a preference.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is that it would be somebody on the Right putting it out there instead of Quade. I was wondering if he typed "Neener Neener neener" then deleted it before posting. It is a shame that he got the facts wrong and touted an embellised "version" of the actual events.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Paul assumed that this place only accepts reservations and thus she demanded and got special treatment. While the place may accept walk-ins, the website clearly has a "Reservations" section, in which - see for yourself - people can reserve a table. Palin came in as a walk-in, but also asked for a table by the window - apparently so she could "be seen" by the ogling masses. Now, then - would any ordinary schmoe who came in as a walk-in have also been able to get a window seat upon request, or is that special treatment reserved just for celebrities? I'll have my inquiring investigators check on that real soon, folks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
