Where's Goldilocks?


On the November 9 edition of Fox News Live, host E.D. Hill said that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is "spending like a Learjet liberal on the campaign trail" because her campaign said it left a $100 tip for a $157 bill at a restaurant in Iowa, adding that the big tip "just plays into what people say about liberals."

Here's the deal -- because it's Hillary Clinton, there's NO CORRECT ANSWER!

Tip more than 20 percent? big spending liberal.

Tip less than 20 percent (or as falsely reported in the first place, NO TIP AT ALL)? Tightwad and cheapskate who cares about the poor and middle class as a concept, but has no interest in the plight of REAL working men and women.

If Hillary Clinton took out a calculator and figured EXACTLY 20 percent, she'd be called so concerned with her image that all she cared about was being technically in compliance with the unwritten social norms about tipping.

When a story like this gets ginned up by Drudge and the "reporters" at Fox and, the rest of the media goes along, the one thing you can count on is that it's a DEMOCRAT (usually a Clinton) who will be trashed, and that no matter what he or she did or didn't do, it was wrong -- too high, too low, too much, too little, too whatever -- there's NO "just right."
