We've all done it - left the restaurant and then realized later that we left our credit card behind.

But we don't all have Secret Service agents to retrieve it for us.

Former President Bill Clinton, in the Triangle to speak at a memorial service for historian John Hope Franklin, ate dinner Wednesday night at Sullivan's in downtown Raleigh.

According to a publicist for the restaurant, Clinton complimented the chef for his salmon steak, visited the kitchen and talked to some of the prep cooks, and had his picture taken with some local high school grads who were there to celebrate their graduation.

And then he forgot his credit card.

"The Secret Service is picking it up today," said Laura Krebs, a publicist for the chain that operates Sullivan's.

I heard Hillary put him on an allowance, but taking away his credit cards, thats just cruel. The the secret service have to pay for the lap dances at Pure Gold as well?
