http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/george-w-bush-ripped-twitter-waitress-gave-40-tip-article-1.2580057Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura were satisfied with their service at a restaurant last week so much so the they took a photo with the waitress and left her a hearty $40 tip on the measly $21.47 bill.
But for some reason, their server, Leisa Smith, decided to pay them back by sharing the snap with a tasteless 9/11 caption directed at Bush on her Twitter page.
Bush did 911 but he did me a solid and left me a hella tip # Smith wrote in the now deleted tweet containing a photo of her, George W. and Laura at the restaurant, the location of which is unknown.
She was more tame on the Facebook post about the encounter, commenting as a liberal I enjoyed the experience itself more than the political aspect.

So now DU is concerned with "Taste" when it comes to the Bush's. The circle is complete. "He learned to love Big Brother"
