Wow, the rich REALLY are different from you and me.
They're bigger assholes than we could possibly imagine.

Gobsmacked by that item. Hey, at least he's not a stiff like Mitt but that's taking it kind of far.

Hey, physically and verbally abusing the help is one of the privileges of wealth, right?
Posted by: montag | January 24, 2012 at 17:05
It depresses me how the knee-jerk reaction of so many people who commented on that article is to defend the rich, overprivileged asshole.
There's the typical assortment of "He's just trying to get a payday!" with a smattering of my favorite, the "What kind of pussy are you if a 76-year-old guy beats you up?" (Yeah, that's in there too.) One aspiring Sherlock looks at the stock photo of a hand with the index finger in a cast and says "Hey wait a minute... I thought his ring finger was broken! There's something fishy going on!" /facepalm
(I must commend that waiter for his restraint though; I don't know if I could keep from breaking a few bones myself if some old asshole grabbed my hand and broke a finger. Even if I had to leave the table and come back with a meat tenderizer...)
