Don King took the VIP prizefight at The Palm last week.
On Thursday night, The Palm’s big names were Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and NBC’s Tim Russert. Russert may have won that VIP Battle, as it was Nelson who motioned Russert over to his table to mingle with Nelson’s dining companions. So impressed with Russert were Nelson’s mates that they interrupted their dinner to snap pictures with the “Meet the Press” host.
But both Russert and Nelson were eclipsed when famed boxing promoter King entered the restaurant in large fashion, waving and shaking a little American flag and leading his entourage to a back table.
And, this time, it was King who was asked to pose for photos with various Palm patrons.
