From gawker.com:
Freemans tuesday night the 16th of nov. the bush twins along with 2 massive secret service men tried to have dinner they were told by the maitre 'd that they were full and would be for the next 4 years upon hearing the entire restaurant cheered and did a round of shots it was amazing!!! [Ed: We're hearing that this is actually true.]

That's terrible (although I'd be lying if, as someone who does not support Bush, I said I didn't at least see the humor in the situation).

People keep furthering these divisive attitudes, and then are indignant when that's what they get in return. It's a vicious cycle.

Everyone in the restaurant did shots? Did they have the shots ready, for when the Bush twins showed up?

I don't doubt that something like this happened--it just seems really embellished.

Well, the skanks have been haunting the city lately and have been spotted at assorted night spots falling all over the place, getting wasted and smoking in bars despite the city's smoking ban. (A NY Times article from around 8 months ago chronicles much of this behavior. I'll look for a copy, but I know you have to pay for NYT archived material.)

And while I haven't been to Freemans, it's on the Lower East Side which could very well mean that it's (like many NYC restaurants) a small to tiny place. If this did happen, I'm sure it was at least a bit of a spectacle for the rest of the patrons.

I think I need to correct my having not eaten there. This place deserves my $$$ :)

I don't believe this news. This is America, we'd never discriminate against two girls just because of who they were born as.

That only applies if they're not white in which case this place/society in general would be up in arms. Gotta love the hypocricy of the Dems.

First, I don't think it's true.

Second, that's just wrong and unfunny. And no I'm not republican but no one deserves that. Maybe Bush but the kids too?

Why? If this story's true, it's utter bullshit. It would be awesome if the department of health shut them down next week, just cause karma's a bitch

The amount of support this gets from "freedom loving" liberals is astounding.
What a horrible thing for that guy to do.

The Bush twins are not free to eat at a private establishment. Funny, you'd think it'd be the *Conservatives* around here praising this guy for standing up for his right as a business owner.

Discrimination should NOT be tolerated.
Can I own a business and deny blacks service but provide it for whites? Of course not.

I am sure if Barak Obama and his wife were denied service in a restaurant in Arkansas, everyone in here praising this would be singing the exact same tune. There's no doubt in my mind they would.

To Olimario:

Do I fucking care about being hypocritical? No.

For once, I'm fine with having a double standard.

Fuck yeah I'd be up in arms.

Hell... if John McCain and his wife were denied service in a restaurant I'd feel the same way.

Then you're delusional. As much as I dislike people like Obama and Moore, I still would HATE to see their freedoms violated and them discriminated against.

They get a lot more priveleges that far outweigh anything like this so I dont know what you two are whining about.

If Oli was running the restaurant though it would only be fat people not allowed in. :lol

Its the principle of it. What if the Kerry girls or Chelsea Clinton was denied at a Dallas Resturant?

I love fat people.
Did a 180 on the fat people thing and apologized to everyone I insulted.

Plus, if I owned a food place fat fat people would be my best customers.
