I understand tonight's lead story on CBS will be down and dirty details of some hot Hilton action. Bob Schiefer will be giving a blow by blow account ....
Jump the fold to find out what's happening as thing come to a climax... I have links to pics available on the down low:)
Looks like the bloggers jumping on this is driving the coverage. After weeks of no play, we are getting some traction folks! Time to push the advantage.
CNN is supposed to also cover it. Someone needs to get Keith Olbermann to consider Hilton as "worst person" in the world. Actually, given the fact Paris can bet away a $200,000 Bentley when wounded service men and women can't even get a damn escalator fixed .... maybe Hilton can SWEEP the "Worst Person" categories....
In case you missed last weeks post Hilton is screwing soldiers for "strictly financial reasons."
Since October of 2003 Marty O'Brien and Hal Koster have been providing a free "Friday Night out on the Town" at Fran O'Briens Stadium Steak House for thousands of severely injured soldiers and marines who are recuperating nearby at Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Hal, a Vietnam vet, and his partner Marty, have made it a policy to continue continue doing this ... UNTIL THE LAST SOLDIER WOUNDED IN THIS CONFLICT HAS GONE HOME FROM WALTER REED AND BETHESDA.
That is stunning. What is even more stunning is how their landlord, Hilton Hotel Corp., responded. Hilton served Fran O'Brien's with an eviction notice. Why? Hilton doesn't want to spend the money to provide equal access for disabled people.
Now that we have established what Hilton is, the only thing left to decide is the cost. I say let's make it hurt.
You can voice your opinion on this travesty by calling
Victoria at Hilton Corporate : 310-205-4656
Let her know if the good people at Fran's are evicted that no one in your family is going to ever stay at a Hilton, Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, or DoubleTree ever again.
She will ask for your name and number. Give it to her gladly. Remember, she is just an employee so don't get all in her grill. If you want some choice lines:
"I hope Hilton won't tarnish the brand name, the way Paris sullies the family name."
"Hilton's Mission Statement is:
To be the first choice of the world's travelers
I'm calling because I want Hilton to know:
Bad choices have bad consequences."
"They say every journey begins with a single step, but no one ever said any journey has to wind by a Hilton."
"I support our troops. There is no way I can get a good night's sleep at a Hilton if this is how they treat wounded warriors."
"I guarantee you that no one in the [your name] family is ever going to stay at a hotel belonging to the Hilton Family."
That last line works especially well if you can get a few family members to call up repeat that line, promising to tell their in-laws as well.
If you have a HHilton honor card, have it ready. If you have a diamond club card, have it ready.
If you do nothing else sign the petition.
Finally, pass this around. Tell your friends, and let them tell their friends.

If you are interested in the dirty pics:Don't forget to send a little love to the folks at the Jawa Report It is truly unprecedented how they have opened up a traditionally right wing space to someone as far left as myself. A little appreciation is a glorious thing.
And for all those who came looking for Hilton pics...Howie has em :)
