Geoffrey Eaton, Charlie Rangel’s Deputy Chief of Staff, was dining at Chez Lucienne in Harlem Thursday night when a rainstorm hit. He freaked out when he couldn’t find his umbrella and was eventually escorted out by the police.
The New York Post has the inebriation information:
“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.”
BET.com contributor Bevy Smith, who was dining separately at the bistro, told us, “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?’ ”
“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.
Smith, a former fashion director for Vibe and Rolling Stone, said, “I was appalled that someone who is a president at the NAACP and works with Charlie Rangel could behave like that in a public place and towards women. He was clearly intoxicated.”
He wasn’t intoxicated, Bevy. He was drunk with power.

And from the Lapdog media.....the usual crickets
It is people like this that deserve a serious smacking around to see if the stupid falls off.
Ridiculous asshattery. I can't help but judge people by the way they treat clerks, waitors, etc.. even in my own extended family. I won't let my kids grow up without learning to respect everyone who is out making a living
This would have topped the coverage of Charlie Sheen's meltdown if he worked for a republican.
My guess is that HIS umbrella was very special in some way. You know, a heck of a lot of cocaine (or $100 bills) would fit in the hollow of the umbrella shaft.
Why would some guy who has money to throw away (taxpayer $ $ $) come completely unglued over a stupid umbrella, drunk or not?
Too bad the cops didn't have a dope sniffing dog to give HIS personal umbrella a quick check...
Maybe next time, Geoffy
Had he acted like that in my neck of the woods, he'd have awakened in jail and found that he owned a new one piece orange jumpsuit and a few bruises he didn't have the day before. And his umbrella could be found with his old clothes and other belongings, stashed in a box, somewhere in Receiving and Discharge!
this is a perfect example of how,,moron's,,react,,under stress, when they know their losing their entire agenda! lmao,,again!
I thought that was Bluto.
No it was Flounder, just before he puked on the dean's shoes.
Drunk and stupid. Looks like Flounder found his dream job.
Why do liberals ALWAYS bring up race? Even worse, why doesn't the media ever call them on it? Not calling them on it is an embarrassment and mistake far worse than yelling at some people over a lost umbrella.
