When it comes to
his Senate dining room tipping habits, you'd hardly know Sen. John
Kerry married his way into a half-billion-dollar fortune.
Independent researcher Tom Kuiper called our attention last week to a
passage from Ron Kessler's 1997 best seller, "Inside Congress: The
Shocking Scandals, Corruption, and Abuse of Power Behind the Scenes on
Capitol Hill."
Kessler's account includes a few choice quotes from one of the Senate
dining room waiters, who used to regularly serve the Senate's
wealthiest member.
Kerry is "real cheap," the waiter told Kessler. "He tips, but it is
ten percent and below." The waiter noted that the Massachusetts
Democrat isn't alone. Some of Kerry's less-gold-plated colleagues
"either do not tip or tip very little. ... They might go out without
signing their check or they might sign the check w/ no tip."
