BUSH TWINS GIVE GUARDS THE BRUSH-OFF 

Jan 8, 2004

JENNA and Barbara Bush quarreled with Secret Service agents assigned to protect them mostly because the agents made it hard for them to go into bars and drink with friends when they were underage, the Washington Post reports. After they complained to their mother, "Laura [Bush] didn't want her girls to feel constrained, and the agents were ordered to pull back from traditional methods of coverage." A few months later, when the Secret Service scrambled to grab all presidential relatives on Sept. 11, 2001, the agents couldn't find Jenna for hours." The D.C. paper also reports that Chelsea Clinton "went to parties and drank and had boyfriends just like many other teenagers. But Chelsea had a knack for keeping her mishaps out of the public eye . . . she treated her Secret Service agents with respect. Accordingly, they were more inclined to protect her when she got into jams. The [Bush] twins, meanwhile, seemed to have decided that their agents were their enemies - and their chauffeurs, bellhops and valets." Click link at beginning of article for the original
