Two Occupy Wall Street protesters, one a key leader of the movement, stayed at a swanky, $700-per-night New York City hotel while their fellow protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park, the New York Post reported.
Peter Dutro, a member of Occupy Wall Street’s finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who attended demonstrations during a business trip, both stayed in the W New York Downtown Hotel last week, with Spitzer reportedly opening his room up to other protesters as well.
According to its website, the W calls itself “the ultimate urban extravagance” with a state-of the-art entertainment system and 350-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, goose-down comforters and pillows. It even invites guests to unleash their “inner Gordon Gekko” in the fitness center, a reference to Michael Douglas’ character in “Wall Street.”

That's no more outrageous than "Judge" Napolitano refusing to speak at a liberty event without being paid thousands of dollars and first class accomodations, or Palin quitting her job on the Alaskan people to chase money with FOX.
ReplyDeleteSeems that people on both sides of the spectrum have personal interests as the #1 priority.

ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that and it's a shame, as he and I seem to think much alike.
