要人の休暇は側近も大変 ― entourage

今週お送りしてきました、著名人の夏休みのテーマは今日でお終いですが、結局ほとんどがオバマ米大統領とその家族に関する話題からの引用になってしまいました。

今回の記事もオバマ米大統領夫人のスペインでの休暇の話題なのですが、ゴシップと思われるこのニュース記事、真実性は如何ほど？


MARBELLA - Spain - The $4000 per night Hotel Villa Padierna in which Michelle Obama and her entourage stayed for their vacation have asked the first lady to return the cutlery she allegedly took, a hotel spokesman has said.


Whilst staying at the taxpayer funded $4000 per night room, Michelle Obama allegedly swiped the expensive cutlery from the dining area as well as some ashtrays for her husband, and a few obligatory bathrobes.

"We have a very exclusive line of cutlery that is very expensive, and there were witnesses to the incident. A bell boy was just passing the dining hall when he witnessed Michelle Obama first looking around, and then sticking a number of the valuable pieces into her handbag. She even put some in her daughter's bag and we have reason to believe that she ordered all forty hangers-on in her entourage to bag stuff too. Sheeit, it was like a free-for-all during the L.A. riots. I bet she even tried to take the TV from the room," Ernesto El Burro, senior concierge manager at the hotel told Spain's El Pais newspaper.

税金で滞在した高級ホテル（一泊＄4,000！）のレストランから食器をくすねた、ということなのですが、娘や側近にもそうさせたという証言は衝撃的です。
