What Politicians Tip The Best? Find Out Here....
Al Gore: Amazing man, charming, Generous, Caring, yes I say caring....What a Gentleman

Christie Todd Whitman: I work at a restaurant in New Jersey that offers outdoor, riverside dining. This is the perfect place for the local yuppies to impress their friends, and tip like shit usually. Christie Whitman ( former governor of NJ) sat outside with two friends recently. My boss told me to "take care of her". Duh! I didn't make a fuss about her, because I figured she's like to eat in peace. She was pleasant enough, but we gave them desert on the house, and she still only left 3 or 4 dollars although she said the service was great....cheap cheap

Howard Dean: Howard Dean came into the restaurant where I wait tables in Burlington, Vermont. He was very laid-back, not high maintenence at all. He tipped well, 20%+, not too high, but that's okay because I don't think he is personally very rich and the fact he was so nice made up for it. Anyway, he acted like just a regular guy in Burlington, Vermont, very easy to wait on, no fuss. He definately didn' t expect to be treated any differently because he's running for President. I thought he was pretty cool. . .

Strohm Thurmond: I am working as a waiter in the President's Luxury Box at a Clemson University football game. Among others in the box is Strom Thurmond who at the time was around 80 to 85 years old. No tipping was allowed but the problem with Strom wasn't tipping. It was the fact that none of the lady waitresses would go near him because he was grabbing every woman's ass that came within reaching distance. The dirty old man wouldnt let up to the point that the ladies in the serving crew were asking me to serve him.

Ted Kennedy: got drunk. fancy that.
