During
an exclusive dinner hosted Monday by the Alfalfa Club, Obama adviser
Valerie Jarret had just such a moment. And were it not for an irritated
tipster, Jarret might have walked away from the dinner unblemished.
According to our tipster, Jarrett was seated at the
head table
along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of
high-ranking military officials. As an officer sporting several stars
walked past Jarrett, she signaled for his attention and said, “I’d like
another glass of wine.”
Garçon!
White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee, who
was seated next
to Jarret, began “cracking up nervously,” our tipster said, but no one
pointed out to Jarrett that the man sporting a chestful of medals was
not her waiter.
“The guy dutifully went up and got her a glass of
wine, and then
came back and gave it to her and took a seat at the table,” our tipster
said. “Everyone is in tuxedos and gowns at this thing, but the military
people are in full dress uniform.” -

Hope she enjoyed the hint of urine in her wine. One witness is said to have heard Jerrit say, "Hmmm, this wine has a slight wang to it!"

Officers are by nature gentlemen, but he should have said "good go get it." I would have went got it and dumped it on her head.

He was an officer and a gentleman. with a effing huge amount of tolerance for assholes.
ReplyDeleteAnd you KNOW she knew he wasn't a waiter.
I'm about to say something racist. Ah, never mind. I suppose she did know better but just couldn't help herself. Even if the "lady" isn't a lady the gentleman will always be the gentlemen. As you know who always says, "It's why we win."
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, really interesting that she is so beloved that she got ratted out. Also interesting is that this story about her has gone "viral" as they say. Could be she is being prepped for the underside of the bus.
ReplyDeleteWas not a case of mistaken identity, he just kissed the ring. Do not assume that real soldiers rise to the Generalship, it happens rarely. He will have a new command soon. Remember, the Generals today were the bird Colonels that made nice with the clintoon pentagon.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how The Great Santini would have handled it.......
ReplyDeleteI remember reading the book and laughing so hard when he "puked" cream of mushroom soup and then ate it that my sister lost her place during her piano recital. Following your link I see that only what, 74% loved the movie? Peasants.
ReplyDeleteThe puke and eat scene is what got me to wondering how he would have handles Jarret. The movie is available on Netflix (not instant view though). I watched it again a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteIf she had done it to me, she would have been wearing that glass.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I'm not an officer, and not a gentleman.
