| Remy Louis XIII cognac |
It’s been widely reported that SEIU’s Tyrone Freeman spent
thousands of dollars of workers’ dues money at the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills.
But what, exactly, did he spend
the money on?
Well, put on your seatbelt and check out the following receipt
filed by U.S. prosecutors during the pre-sentencing phase of Freeman’s criminal
proceeding. This is the same SEIU corruption scandal that may have finally
ensnared Eliseo Medina, who
recently announced his rapid resignation as SEIU’s Secretary-Treasurer.
At 10:45pm on a Monday night in November of 2007, Freeman
and five of his guests spent a total $1,308 during an after-dinner binge of
alcohol, cigars, sushi and pastries.
On the receipt, you’ll find the infamous $175 glass of cognac,
which is labeled as “Remy Louis 13.”
According to the bill, Freeman and his pals consumed a stunning amount of booze, food and cigars: 8 mojitos; 2 Grey Gooses (vodka); 2
Chopin vodkas (a hand-made vodka from Poland); 9 martinis made with Chopin vodka; a Remy Martin
cognac; a Baileys whiskey; 25 cigars; salmon and lobster rolls; raspberry crème
brulee; cheesecake; sushi… and the list goes on.
(Tasty can’t figure out what
some of the items are -- three “G Summerland PN” at $18 a piece?).
Quite a stunning indictment of all the klepto-crats at
SEIU, who hid this corruption from SEIU's members for years. Tasty wonders what would have happened if Sal Rosselli
and his reformers hadn't blown the whistle on Freeman and his partners in crime, the Andy Stern/Mary Kay Henry gang. Presumably, SEIU’s fatcats would have kept on robbing millions of dollars from SEIU’s members.
