Image via WikipediaThis is what it has come down to. Some liberal college professor, eating at a high end DC restaurant, goes on an apparently drunken tirade, excoriating Rep. Paul Ryan for ordering a $350 bottle of wine. Keep in mind that she is eating at the same restaurant that he is. One where the appetizers start at $10.75. AND he paid for the wine and his meal out of pocket. Compare this to Nancy Pelosi charging up over $100,000 on "in-flight" services, including an alchohol tab that would make the late Ted Kennedy drool, to taxpayers. Overall, she racked up $2.1 million over 2 years using a military jet as a personal taxi service. How about John Edwards' $400 haircuts? This professor is typical of the limosine liberals who bitch and complain about "rich" Republicans while holding Earth Summits where attendees feast on lobster and caviar - while talking about ending famine.
Lyberal hypocrisy is alive and well.
Paul Ryan Faces Criticism for Pricey $350 Wine Purchase

Christopher SantarelliHouse Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan and his party were accosted by a Rutgers Professor at a swanky Capital Hill restaurant Wednesday night for their choice to order two $350 bottles of wine with their meal.
“Susan Feinberg, an associate business professor at Rutgers, was at Bistro Bis celebrating her birthday with her husband that night. When she saw the label on the bottle of Jayer-Gilles 2004 Echezeaux Grand Cru Ryan’s table had ordered, she quickly looked it up on the wine list and saw that it sold for an eye-popping $350, the most expensive wine in the house along with one other with the same pricetag.
Feinberg, an economist by training, was even more appalled when the table ordered a second bottle. She quickly did the math and figured out that the $700 in wine the trio consumed over the course of 90 minutes amounted to more than the entire weekly income of a couple making minimum wage.”

It's so confusing being a Rep. Fan Boy these days. I hate liberals and their Lattes and I hate election time when Beer prices skyrocket because all my Reps suddenly get a taste for the lager. But damn. FRENCH Wine in a Bistro ( I had to type the "o" with my ring finger cause my pinky got locked on up tilt when I typed that word)
