Life must really suck being Charlie Rangel's Chief of Staff
From Eric Dondero:Geoffrey Eaton serves as New York Rep. Charlie Rangel's Chief of Staff. He was dining alone in Harlem last week on a rainy night. As he was getting ready to go, the waiting staff could not find his umbrella. Eaton went into a rage.
From the NY Post:"He yelled at everyone, even the customers," said the manager on duty, who asked not to be named. "We said, 'We'll give you another umbrella.' Other people offered . . . we said, 'If that's not enough, we'll pay for your cab home.' Because I know him, I let him stay for a while. I talked to him nicely, as I do with all of my customers. We tried to calm him down. I have never seen him that way. Maybe something went a little wrong."Another witness, BET contributor Bevy Smith, said:
"He cursed out the entire waitstaff, and everyone was trying to appease him. He was like, 'Bleep that, I want a bleeping umbrella, why the bleep can't you find it?' "Eaton also happens to be the former President of the New York NAACP."I said, 'Shhhh.' He yells at me, 'Bleep you, and mind your own bleeping business . . . you're a disgrace to our race.'"
After 15 minutes of Eaton's ranting and raving, the manager called cops to escort him out. A source told us employees later found his umbrella in a corner. Eaton was not arrested and left in a huff.
Editor's comment - How he must long for the days, when being on the staff of the powerful Appropriations Committee Chair instead of a disgraced has-been congressman, meant junkets at posh Caribbean resorts and first class seating at fine Manhattan restaurants. Now he dines alone on rainy nights in Harlem
