| Servile attire? |
Yes. I am talking about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, who totally dissed a uniformed general officer during the annual AC dinner on Monday. According to a report in today's Daily Caller, Jarrett was sitting at the head table along with Names You Would Recognize, both civilian and military, when she found that her glass was empty.
Reports the Caller:
As an officer sporting several stars walked past Jarrett, she signaled for his attention and said, “I’d like another glass of wine.”
Care to read that again?

UPDATE: with h/t to Carrie... The "waiter" was the Army Vice Chief of Staff, Gen. Peter Chiarelli. Who wears [counting] not one... not two... not three... but four stars on his shoulder.

Nope. Your eyes were not playing tricks on you. She really mistook Army dress blues for servants' attire. Hmmm.... interesting co-relation, there.
This is not the first time Jarrett has been caught with pointy-toed foot firmly planted inside slatternly mouth. A couple months ago, she created ripples of outrage when she seemingly launched into blame-the-victim mode after a gay teen killed himself.
In that instance, Jarrett apologized to the gay community for appearing to be insensitive. Will she do the same for full-out, actual boorishness? Oh, wait. In this Administration, it's okay to flip off the military. Which is why the spectral REL would not want her at his annual birthday wingding.

Mmm....wouldn't hold my breath on an apology.
The military is not a group she particularly cares if she offends, I'm sure.

At least the General was a Gentleman & go her her wine!
"WTF?!" was exactly what I thought when I heard it this morning... What a... [self-censored]!
If I were the General, I would have got the wine and poured over her head. Yeah! I know! Now you know why I didn't do twenty and out. My mouth barely got me through one hitch.
The best part was when he sat down at the head table after fetching her the wine. She had to sit there the rest of the night looking at him. On the other hand... we don't know if she complained later that the help was being just a tad over-familiar.
Typical and expected from her and actually when you think about it anyone in the Obama staff. But in her defense perhaps it is because dress blues are without a doubt the stupidest and most grotesque uniform ever created. It is even more loathsome than the Airline uniform worn by the USAF. Army mess whites are even closer to a waiter's uniform but are at least are tasteful. And yes, he was a gentleman as expected from the good old Army days. Although in today's modern Army he would have been better advised to tell her to go get her own or even more advisable to inform her that in today's military alcohol consumption is frowned on, equality and such being the rule of thumb so as to not insult any feminists or temperists out there. We wouldn't want to have anyone in a leadership giving the wrong impressions.
I trust he specified "an '84 chablis, domestic," to the barkeep.
Eighty-four was a *lousy* year for chablis...
Perfect! Send her to the Gallos!
Now, now. Ernie and Julio make a pretty palatable weapons-grade wine...
Yeah. If you're flying Napa the Earth...
Sonoma-tta to me...
Now Yolo flyin' again...
What's a good wine?
... a jet pilot without a hotel room for the night.
... a helicopter pilot with a dual engine failure. Can be noisier than the engines themselves.
Cheers
...unless, of course, they are so tanked they just wander off and start nipping the Maple syrup...
... a helicopter pilot with a dual engine failure.
Who in his right mind flies dual-engine? You have twice the chance for an engine failure...
And I don't nip maple syrup. There's no bite to it.
That, and... you'd have to go to Canada, where the tanks don't speak English.
Which reminds me. I snapped this yesterday while heading out to the tank farm.

That had to feel good. Just makin' the vid... that had to feel good.
The tanks here do speak English. It's where the instruction book comes from.
Cheers
But do they listen to heavy metal?
I have an update on the general. Prepare to gnash your teeth. It's in the post....
