1 percent tip on $4500 worth of free drinks? Tacky, tacky, tacky

"On this date I ordered that 1st Lt. Bush be suspended from flight status due to failure to perform to USAF/TexANG standards and failure to meet annual physical examination...as ordered"
--Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, 8/1/1972

"Since we've graduated from college, we're looking around for something to do for the next few years ... kind of like Dad."
--Barbara Bush, 22, speaking at the RNC, 8/31/2004

"If it was Bush's sons or daughters fighting that war over there, instead of standing at the Republican convention, I think it would have been different."
--Pam Lois (whose stepson, Private First Class Tim Brown, 21, died in Iraq in 2003), 9/3/2004

"They [and their entourage of about 25] drank $4,500 worth of drinks — bottles and bottles of vodka....Then, having been comped all the alcohol, they left a $48 tip. We thought 1 per cent was kind of outrageous, considering they are the president's daughters."
--An employee of New York City nightclub Avalon on Jenna and Barbara Bush, 9/4/2004
