by NoahThere's been so much chatter about Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her visit to the highly rated Red Hen in Lexington, VA. the last few days. Reservations even ticked up and the place is now booked for 4 solid weeks thanks to supporter reaction to the grossly immature tweets of Sanders and her boss but, now, according to Friday morning reports, the restaurant will close until July 5th so things can cool down. The Red Hen’s owner, Stephanie Wilkinson has also decided to leave her position as the director of local business group Main Street Lexington so as not to hurt the interests of other local businesses. Laughably, Trump supporters have been protesting outside the restaurant calling for, get this- tolerance and civility! Like I always say, republicans have no sense of irony. The republican brand is intolerance to its core. Their president can’t go 5 minutes without being uncivil to someone somewhere. For me, it all boils down to this:
Dear Sarah Huckabee Sanders,What goes around comes around.With all due respect,Noah
Not to worry, DWT readers. I have zero respect for the putrid, fetid likes of Ms. Sanders. All of my adult life (and even before) the phrase "with all due respect" has meant "respect if any is due" which, in this case, none is, and any respect that Sarah may have once had because of her position has been irresponsibly frittered away.My sympathies go to the owner of The Red Hen. She was in a very real dilemma. On the one hand, she probably didn't want a repeat of Kristjen Nielsen's being shouted out of a restaurant. On the other hand, it was blatantly obvious about how the rest of the restaurant's staff felt. There's also the moral issue. Plus, would you want to go down in history as a person who welcomed a person who models herself after Josef Goebbels, another pathological liar of evil intent, to your place of business?The Red Hen did Sarah Huckabee Sanders a big favor. I know that, had I been working in the kitchen, Sarah's happy meal would have had a little something extra in it before it left the kitchen. Perhaps the manager knew this and Sanders owes her a thank you. Personally, I would have probably pissed in her soup or done something similar while the air mysteriously left all four tires of her car as it sat in the parking lot. With only a hint of a smirk, I don't mind being the instrument of karmic payback.Next time, Sarah, why not stay home and bake a cake or a half-dozen pies for dinner. You could even stay at the office and chomp down a few buckets of KFC with sides of mashed potatoes with your boss. If you do have to eat out, may I suggest that Chick-fil-A would welcome someone like you with wide-open arms?
