The story is everywhere; the man who is now the most famous bartender in American political history....

he man who filmed Mitt Romney making the now-infamous "47%" comments is speaking out about why he secretly-recorded the GOP presidential candidate at a fundraiser last May.

Scott Prouty, a bartender who worked for a catering company, said he was inspired to do so after a friendly encounter with former President Bill Clinton.

Prouty came forward in interviews with the Huffington Post and “The Ed Show” on MSNBC.

At a previous event, Prouty said Clinton came back to the kitchen and expressed gratitude to the staff, waiters, bartenders and busboys who helped cater the event. He took photos, shook hands, signed autographs and complimented the meal, he told Huffington Post.

He said when he heard Romney would be attending an event that he was tending, he brought his camera in case he could get a picture with the presidential hopeful.

The former Massachusetts governor, however, was late to the Florida event and left shortly after it was over, without speaking to the event staff. While he told the guests that his comments would be off the record, he did not address the same instructions to the wait staff.

Rmoney's mistake? He was completely honest; he and what he represents does not recognize members of the under class, the working class, and even the middle class as political subjects. True, Rmoney did not lose the election because of the this tape, but it certainly brought his political career to an end. He is never coming back. That comment would kill him in a Republican primary. Trust me, any GOP opponent would use it like a nose bone and stab him repeatedly, stab him debate after debate—47%.
