Even the Restraunt Review is Biased

Bruce Feirstein over at DuckSeason.org comments that even the restraunt reviews aren't immune to liberal bias at the LA Times. Feirstein takes issue that even stories on Maitre D's are infused by the Timers with leftist leanings. Key graf from the Martin Booe article that sparked it all:

Above all, as opposed to the vibrating pager of P.F. Chang's, the maitre d' knew who you were and whom you were married to and, perhaps more importantly, whom you were not married to. "If a guy had an older wife, you stroke her more" than younger women in the room, the Legend says. "If he comes with a cutie, though, you seat him somewhere else." Pure Rat Pack, to be sure, but there is a lesson here: An old-school maitre d' has enough on you to get you strung up by your thumbs, yet you trust him with the information. Or at least a previous generation did.

Then along came Clinton special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who maybe did as much to change American dining culture as Alice Waters and Jeremiah Tower. Cuddle with a cutie in a darkened back booth? Sounds like a subpoena waiting to happen. If I were a misbehaving captain of industry, I'd seriously consider trading Larry the Legend for the vibrating pager, even though he's the last person I could imagine wearing a wire...

I never knew that Ken Starr was responsible for the demise of Maitre d's. The argument doesn't hold water and, clearly, Booe has an ax to grind. What next, are we to blame Bill Clinton's departure from office for the closing of McDonald's??

I thought I was reading the "new, gentler" LA Times. The more they blather about change, the more things stay the same.
