WP: Teacher Twin Ready for Takeoff (Jenna leaving U.S.)

[kskiska]

Jenna Bush , the nation's most famous public-school teacher, is skipping the country and bidding a happy adios to the young-Washington social scene she once ruled. Uh-oh, what do we do now?

Friends say that the blond, younger-by-minutes First Twin has been quietly making plans over recent months to leave D.C. for a teaching job in Latin America, most likely around the end of summer.

The move reflects the growing seriousness of a 24-year-old whose collegiate partying provided endless fun for gossip columnists during her father's first years in office -- yet also offers an escape from the Washington spotlight she and sister Barbara always have seemed to resent. Last week marked her final day at the Mount Pleasant charter school where she taught for a year and a half.

(snip)

Meanwhile, Jenna's departure will mark the end of an era for Washington, which now will be completely Twinless. After several months floating around town, Barbara bailed on D.C. just weeks ago, moving to Manhattan, where she recently landed a job in education programming at Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

[acmavm]

1. Teaching in Latin America?

[Semi_subversive]

2. Probably teaching the descendants of Nazi war criminals

[acmavm]

21. First thing that popped into my mind was something about

Nazi war criminals and friends of Prescott's. But then I didn't want to seem so, well, jaded and hateful. But I am. I dispise that whole family right down to the most insignificant twit in their family tree.

[xenu]

38. well, she wouldn't have to leave the country for that...

Jenna wouldn't need to leave the country for that. She could work in New York.

[saigon68]

41. Or the Boys from Brazil

LOL

[0007]

43. Teaching young ones how to say "Fuck You"



[goclark]

54. She does not deserve our respect ~ no home training

She is an apple that fell right off of the tree.

[saigon68]

67. We called them road apples

Horses left them on the shoulder of the road when they passed by.\

She is a road apple, a real piece of dung.

[rfranklin]

29. Guaranteed this is a boondoggle...

She'll be living in a a deluxe setting and her teaching duties will be so light she won't have to show up after binges at the local hotspots.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

63. Bingo

If she is "teaching" at all...

[Kolesar]

3. Idi Amin Dada got refuge in Saudi Arabia

I would think the Bushies would always be welcome to hide from the law there.

[Nickster]

4. Yeahhhhhhh, teaching in Latin America..... n/t

[Atman]

5. Daddy told her it might be a good time to leave the country

If Babs goes, too, pack your bags!

Of course, if the twins really wanted to see the world, I hear they'd be very welcome in Iraq!

[atomic-fly]

30. ???draft coming????

[northzax]

6. good for her

seriously, why do we insist that the sins of the fathers be passed onto the children?

[xenu]

39. Please, this is the Bush crime family we're talking about

Has she renounced her family's appalling history?

[mitchum]

74. That moonfaced bitch actively campaigned for her war criminal father

[northzax]

83. oh good, let's sink to making fun of people's bodies now

that's a nice liberal value.

[mitchum]

85. You're wrong...a non liberal value would be to legislate AGAINST...

someone because of their body.
Hmmm...let's see...you are attempting to define what a liberal should stand for AND you are defending those avaricious bush bitches...hmmm...who commonly does that? I wonder...

[northzax]

86. avaricious?

good word to describe someone who works as a teacher's aide, we all know how lucrative that profession is. That's gotta be what, eight or ten bucks an hour? wow, that is avaricious.

in the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

god, I hope you're physically perfect.

[mitchum]

87. Do you really fucking think that she depends on a teacher's aide...

pay? She and her family have been feeding at the public trough for decades.
Yes, I certainly know what "avaricious" means. I didn't even have to use spell check. How about you?

What is YOUR agenda in defending that bitch?

[northzax]

93. well, part of it, I guess

is that I don't like calling people sexist and dehumanizing names just because of their last name. You do, which is fine for you, I guess, but a little sad coming from a supposed liberal. And judging by this thread, I am in a distinct minority, which is a shame.

[Divernan]

88. Right - all teachers' aides have posh digs in Georgetown!

See my posts 79 & 98, and tell me First Party Girl doesn't make a mockery of the teaching profession and is not continuing to coast through life on daddy's coat tails. During the 2004 campaign, Jenna talked about her plans to become a fourth grade teacher.

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A205-2004Dec14.html
News reports last summer focused on Jenna's interest in a public school in Harlem, but she deferred a decision until after the campaign. Visiting a summer reading program for second-graders in Alabama in July, Jenna helped her mother read to the children and talked with them about her plan to become a fourth-grade teacher.

It's been a year and a half, and she hasn't taken a single course toward getting certified.

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55939-2004Dec10.html

Seward, Neb.: So Jenna or non-Jenna, whatever, is going to be a teacher? Are teachers so scarce that they let people without teaching certificates teach in D.C.?

Richard Leiby: It's a charter school, which I understand has different standards for teachers. I did hear from a well-credentialed teacher who was furious about this point, and the fact that the headline on my story referred to Jenna as a "schoolmarm."

But I'm not an expert on charter schools, or schoolmarms. I was home-schooled--by wolves.

_______________________

Mt. Pleasant, Washington, D.C.: If my child was going to be taught by Jenna Bush, I would switch him to another class. Maybe another school.

I didn't think there was a way to drag the D.C. public education system down any further... but they figured out a way. And you have to be impressed by that.

Richard Leiby: Why the Jenna-bashing? I've only heard negative things following my scoop that Ms. Bush will take a teaching job at a District charter school. Shouldn't we be glad that she's reaching out to minority, low-income kids and "giving back" to America? Or would you prefer she and her sister join the National Guard and go serve in Iraq? Just askin'...

[mitchum]

89. Divernan, we are wasting our time, Jennadefender has a very obvious agenda

[Divernan]

90. True, but it's useful to document how worthless Jenna is.

Because we all need to remember that there are younger generations of Bushes waiting to step into their god-given right to rule.

And to top it off, she's taken a job away from someone who NEEDED it. Why doesn't Jenna just have some of Daddy's friends appoint her to their various Boards? Home Depot is paying Tom Ridge $150,000 a year to be on its board - and I think Jenna is at least as bright as Ridge and could have come up with the duct tape and color coded alert system.

[northzax]

91. so let me get this straight

your problem is basically that she's not using family connections to get a cushy job? Interesting. If she had, say, used family connections to get a cushy consulting job, you'd be congratulating her? Somehow, I don't think that would be the case.

By the way, in the DC Charter School system, you don't need a certification to be in the classroom, hell, DC is so short of teachers you don't need a certification to teach in a regular old public school. It's not like it's a highly competitive, zero-sum hiring game, where qualified people get turned away every day.

[Divernan]

96. Twist again ! You'd give Chubby Checker a run for his money!

The woman is an adult. She has not made any effort or taken any steps in the last 18 months to become a real, certified, teacher. If she cared about the children who need to be taught, she would be eager and enthusiastic to get her teaching credentials and not choose to get by barely meeting the poor standards of charter schools. I didn't say a better qualified person would get the job, I referred to a person who NEEDED the $8-10 per hour or whatever it pays. Do you think this wasp princess would take such a lowpaying job if she didn't live in luxury in a Georgetown townhouse on Daddy's bucks?

All she has are family connections. If she continues to ride the Bush coat tails, she earns the ridicule she receives and doesn't merit your adoring defense. The "consulting job" at which Chelsea Clinton works so hard is far from cushy. Now appointments to Boards of Directors are usually cushy and that is what I referred to for Jenna. By the way, I have personal knowledge that Prescott Bush the umpteenth, W's nephew, Yale Class of 1986, was given a spot in a training program for investment bankers, the year after he graduated, but he washed out - just couldn't handle the workload. He got through Yale as a legacy happy with his C grades, and his non-connected classmates who got admitted on their own merit had a lot of laughs over that. The saying about the Bushes at Yale was that they were great at partying but not too bright.

Amusing how you take passing swipes at Chelsea Clinton, but are the world's most ardent supporter of Jenna.

[northzax]

92. Yes, I confess to having an agenda

for some reason, I was taught by my parents to care more about what someone does with their life than who their parents are. You obviously care more about someone's lineage than their actions. But I gues you're proud of that, which is fine, but let's not pretend that it isn't a rather outdated, even archaic position to take.

Again, in summation:

northzax's position: what you do now is more important that your last name.
mitchum's position: your last name is more important than your actions.

just so we're clear.

[Divine Discontent]

94. I agree with everything except

"moonfaced" ---

how childish to do this. my dad called me moonpie face for 20 years. it hurt and to bring up people's body shapes is the lowest excuse for a complaint about them I can imagine someone using.


God bless!

[goclark]

7. She is probably pregnant

What a trumped up story.

Thought they were each going to get married?

Thought her "teaching " job was going to be so fantastic.

Not one picture did we see.

I thought I saw something about her not being a Teacher but a Teacher's Assistant.
Big difference.


There is a lot more to this fairytale.

[E-Z-B]

8. A definite possibility....

[noamnety]

10. I find that incredibly offensive

That's right up there with telling a woman you're arguing with "You must have PMS."

If you have a problem with her helping her idiot father get elected (I know I do) that's a legitimate criticism. If you have a problem with her being an inane bubble head (again, I do) that's a legitimate criticism. But to reduce criticism of ANY woman to "she's probably knocked up" is some serious sexist stuff. Even if YOU are female, it's still highly offensive.

[goclark]

15. Sorry to offend you and I am a female

Jenna has made her mark in all the tabloids.

In my mind she is fair game.

Jenna delights in spreading her business all over many bars.

She has allowed herself to be photographed on the floor with a cigarette in her hand dirty dancing.

It is not news that woman of all ages leave town when they are pregnant and want to have the baby. I have no problem with any of that scenario for anyone.


Some woman leave town to get a new start after a bad marriage or relationship.

Maybe she is leaving because her parents are having problems and she cares so deeply for them that it hurts her.

Maybe she is leaving for Latin America because she loves to be with people of other nationalities like her father does... :sarcasm:

Whatever....

[northzax]

19. or maybe she, like most other young people

wants to get away from Mom and Dad and go do something interesting?

would you want photographs taken of you at the age of 20 at a college party to be the defining moment of your life? Are there no embarrassing photos of you from your wayward youth?

[mitchum]

75. Why don't you just wipe her ass for her, and be done with it?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

49. Having a cigarette in her hand

is something to hide or be ashamed of? Do you think it is some kind of reflection of a person's character?

[superconnected]

68. It's no different than sticking your tongue out at her

which she did to the press.

So she's fair game.

Bet the cow is knocked up.

[superconnected]

69. It's no different than sticking your tongue out at her

which she did to the press.

So she's fair game.

Bet the cow is knocked up.

[northzax]

17. personally, I find this whole thread

your post excepted, to be incredibly offensive. So the twins partied a little in college (ok, a lot) so did I. Seems like they are both trying to make something of their lives, besides living off the family name and fortune. I don't recall this kind of ridicule for Chelsea Clinton who, instead of taking a non-profit job, skipped a couple of ranks and joined a lucrative consulting practice using family connections to do so. One twin works in a museum, the other is a teacher (or teacher's aide, whatever)

Judge not, lest ye be judged, or something like that.

[MaineDem]

26. I agree with you

As much as I detest her father...

Yeah, maybe they're both spoiled brats but I'm not going to dump on her for trying this. Just because the right chastised Chelsea doesn't mean we should sink to their level.

[Sam Odom]

27. YES

If we act like them then what's the point?

[Vickers]

46. They campaigned for their worthless assclown drunkfuck dad.

They are adults.

They are fair game.

Whay aren't they "fighting them over there" and all that happy horseshit? :eyes:

[Psephos]

31. Well said...

I've never been comfortable with demonizing the children of political opponents. It was loathesome when Chelsea Clinton and Amy Carter were the targets, and it has been loathesome when it has been directed at the Bush daughters, for the same reason.

Peace.

[IA_Seth]

37. Agreed

I think attacking a politicians family is pretty low...and it's shameful to see it so much here.

IMO, of course.

[stanwyck]

51. In fairness to Chelsea

she was a top student with an advanced degree. And she did suffer years of nasty abuse from rightwing media for the crime of being not so attractive - and being Hillary and Bill's daughter.
She has been a gracious person throughout. When she was here in Atlanta during the Olympics, people were impressed with her consideration and demeanor.
I agree that the twins should be allowed to live their lives. But I really don't think that to prospective employers, there's much comparison between the Bush daughters and Ms. Clinton.

[Divernan]

65. Chelsea has earned respect as extremely bright & hardworking

My daughter's offices were in the same midtown Manhattan building as Chelsea's employer. My kid used to work until about 7 p.m. When she was headed home, she would often see Chelsea returning to her office after grabbing dinner somewhere - going to work more hours into the evening. And this was typical for consultants at McKinsey. Ms. Clinton's qualifications included her bachelor's from one of the top ten or so universities (Stanford), a master's in International Studies from Oxford, and a level of sophistication and wealth of personal experience in dealing with VIPs from all the national and international traveling she did with both parents during her father's presidency. She's a serious person with a very demanding job.

Jenna Bush, in contrast, was a teaching assistant at a charter school because she did not have the teaching credentials required by the No Child Left Behind Act. What is very telling is that she could have gone back to school part-time and become credentialed, and this is what anyone who is SERIOUS about teaching would have done. Some DUers are posting about being insulted if someone says teaching is ALL Jenna could do. I can understand that the phrasing of that was insulting. However, do you think so little of your profession that it's OK with you that Bush's kid sashays into a classroom without the qualifications required of you and your colleagues? I repeat, she's had a year and a half to take some education courses and hasn't done so. Should we just close down the education department (oh, that's right; Bush wants to do that) and stop teaching education courses in our colleges? In other words, is YOUR degree or major or minor in education worthless? It is also curious that there are no facts about what her plans are. Why keep the country a secret? At least it could be told what kind of school/grade level is involved. Of course, if we knew the country, we could research what it's requirements were for teacher's credentials.

Here's some info about Ms. Clinton's employer:
Today McKinsey has over 7,500 consultants in 84 offices across 45 countries. They help solve strategic, organizational, operational and technological problems, for some of the world's largest organizations. Clients include three of the world's five largest companies, two-thirds of the Fortune 1000, governments and other non-profit institutions. McKinsey also performs pro bono engagements for a number of charitable organizations and government agencies worldwide.

Marvin Bower broke with industry practice in his time by focusing hiring efforts on recent graduates from the best business schools, rather than among experienced managers. The premise for this was that analytical rigor and fresh insights were of greater value to clients than conventional wisdom. McKinsey has been known to make rare exceptions to this policy by hiring senior staff from industry (John Sawhill being a noted example), and in later years it has diversified its recruiting base by soliciting candidates from graduate programs within law, medicine, engineering, science, and the liberal arts as well as by recruiting "experienced hires" from a variety of professional backgrounds including the military, law and medicine.

McKinsey is one of the most sought-after destinations for graduates of top MBA programs, having been rated #1 in the Universum survey of most desirable employers for the past nine years. The Firm is the largest single recruiter at the world's top business schools. It is also the largest private recruiter at Harvard Law School and employs more Rhodes Scholars than any organization outside of the White House.

[hypocriteslayer]

78. Well that is good but....

I don't think the attacks on Amy carter, Chelsea Clinton or the Bush twins is deserved. Family should be off limits. Just because family helps with a campaign does not make them fair game. I sure wouldn't want pictures of me in my college days. Really what is amzing is these women said I don;t care if you watch, I am going to live my life. I would have went inot a hole and needed therapy under the scrutiny. It is hard enough growing up in this world without growing up in a fish bowl.
But as a consultant working hard into the night. You do realize every hour they work is billable to a client at exorbiant rates. It is reflected in her bonus check. I agree she is bright, but I am sure dangling a high five to six figure bonus based on billable hours plays a prt in working hard. Just like in a factory where hourly workers are are incentivized to work overtime for 1.5 times their hourly rate. The same goes for a consultant, but even more so. Let's see I make 150k a year and if I work overtime I get a bonus check of 120k at the end of the year. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Not saying she isn't a hard worker, but I would clean out septic tanks for 12 hours a day for 150k a year and a 120k bonus. The difference is I would do it for 5 years and retire rich. But then again I am cheap.

Peace

[Divernan]

81. You ignored fact that Chelsea is qualified; Jenna has chosen NOT to be.

Look at the 2nd paragraph in my post. Jenna Bush has played at being a "teacher" and is spun as being a "teacher" - but she has not wasted her "beautiful Bush mind" on taking the early childhood or any education courses required by BUSH's own "Leave No Child Behind" Act. She continues to coast through life on Daddy's coat tails!

[stanwyck]

84. Thanks for the info, Divernan

Again, I wish the children of politicians could be given some space. However, the right is always so sanctimonious about their family values and work ethic, despite the reality. We've let the right hijack hard work, personal responsibility, and consideration for other people as their values. They don't own these values anymore than they own patriotism or love of our country.
Chelsea has earned her position - she wasn't handed it like GWB was on numerous occasions - from being given an Ivy League education he didn't quality for - or being given numerous business opportunities he couldn't manage.

[mitchum]

72. Personally, I find the whole fucking bush family offensive

they have livied on the spoils of theft and chicanery for generations

[Divine Discontent]

95. amen

I get so sick of insults about feministic humor - it's like "bitch" and "pregnant" "pms" are used way too much, but you rarely see men disparaged, it's always the women and the.....

gay bashing. allll the timmeeee on DU with things like "rush is gay!" and they make it sound scandilous to be gay, not that a RW'er is gay, an intellect would just say, "wouldn't it be so typical if he was gay?", but no, the DU'ers repeatedly use gay as a joke that I notice. It's never done with couth or thoughtful prose in planning of ones words.

33. Pregnant?! I was thinking the same thing!

:evilgrin:

[Raine]

59. Either that or

she's drying out. :beer: :hangover:

[Biernuts]

77. Got a source to post o the preggo comment? n/t

[bluestateguy]

9. Jenna Bush, the Bush Refugee

Usually I counsel discouraged people not to leave the country, but I'll keep my mouth shut this time.

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Maybe she wants to follow in Uncle Jeb's footsteps

so she can find a Latino to marry and get the Latin vote.

[mitchum]

76. Or maybe get a lower price on her cocaine purchases

[lonestarnot]

12. Poor kids in Latin America! Can you imagine having that as a teacher.

[jedicord]

13. "education programming"?

Well, I must say that's an accurate description of education in America.

[Posteritatis]

53. It's fairly innocuous

Curriculum design, ways to evaluate students, ways to turn field trips into useful experiences, stuff like that.

I'm currently working in it, more or less; it's not as critical (and much less "glamorous") as actually standing in front of a classroom and instructing, but some competent people working in it can do a hell of a lot of good.

[Divernan]

70. No, that's BARBARA's new job title - not Jenna's

Barbara, with her degree in Humanities, and no relevant experience was given a job at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum. I doubt that she has had any courses in education either, so maybe the DUers so indignant that someone made the unkind comment that teaching was all these twins were qualified to do ( and I agree that comment is insulting to teachers, who are DEGREED and CERTIFIED in their fields) - maybe those DUers can comment on yet another handing out a job with the title "Education programmer" - to someone with no education credentials.
Now, if someone can post that hey, Barbara spent her two years since graduating from Yale taking education classes, I'll be the first to say, "You go, girl!"

[MadHound]

14. Latin America eh? Hmmm, closer to the coke fields too

:evilgrin:

[lagavulin]

16. Where in Latin America will she NOT become a ready target for kidnapping?

This decision doesn't hold water. Granted they'll set her up at some elite private school, but can she really teach with 15 secret service agents following her at every moment? And can she really go ANYWHERE in Central or South America and not become a lightning rod for any one of hundreds of groups that would jump at the chance to kidnap a First Daughter?

Either the story is a ruse or she'll never leave the country...

[goclark]

18. BINGO!

Good point, she ain't going!

[tanyev]

40. That was my first thought, too.

God forbid something happened to her. Can you imagine? That country would be nuked to smithereenies in no time flat.

[RamboLiberal]

47. I agree - in fact just posted in GD thread that I bet the

Secret Service is not thrilled. She will be a big target for kidnapping or murder. She better not ditch her detail as she had the habit of doing here in the states.

I loathe her father, but I'd rather not see anything happen to her or Barbara.

I always feared for Chelsea and her family the way the wingnuts demonized Bill and Hillary, especially as looney tunes as some of the wingnuts were.

[sofa king]

48. My guess: Bogota, as an unwitting hostage.

In ancient times it was common among despots to exchange hostages in order to ensure that both parties (untrustworthy by definition) would adhere to an agreement. Often, the hostages exchanged were close family members of the despots.

I think that's what we're seeing here--a treaty between the despot family of the United States and one of the South American drug cartels. The Twin, of course, wouldn't know this; I'm sure she's more interested in the cocaine and the endless supply of aguardiente to wash it down with, anyway.

But let's just see if crack use in American inner cities skyrockets this summer.... Then again, the CIA has a lot of heroin they need to move as well, so Bolivia might be a good choice, too.

[xultar]

20. Why isn't she teaching the newly freed children in Iraq? We've built

schools. So she should be ready to phuckin go with chalk & habib in hand.

[BlueInPhilly]

22. Hey, let's give her the benefit of the doubt, OK?

Maybe she is sincerely trying.

[xultar]

58. OK then she should be sincerely trying in Iraq. Then she can jog

with her dad as a double amputee.

[bigscott]

23. exactly

who gives a shit what this spoiled bitch does with her life? Put her in the same box as Paris and Nicolle and ship it off to hell

[OhioChick]

24. Hmmmmm...........

Did her job get outsourced, too?

[leesa]

25. School's done, she needs to enlist and go fight for freedom.

It is her duty.

[kskiska]

42. Draft the Bush Twins

[maxsolomon]

28. teaching the poor in latin america?

careful, jenna, you might come back as a liberal!

[flordehinojos]

32. the bushes are seeding their power grabbing tentacles on latin america

through jenna's presence there. O God, please save Latin America from the power grabbing bushes!

[Greeby]

34. As long as she doesn't come over here

We were cool with Chelsea coming over to Oxford, but not Jenna or Not-Jenna

[Demeter]

36. You Have Got To Wonder What The Girl Is Thinking

Is there is any truth to the report, first of all? It is possible that something factual came out of DC, but I wouldn't put any money or even penny candy on it.

Second, going to Latin America does seem a tad foolish. Frankly, given the unpopularity of her father, his family, their business and their politics, leaving Texas seems like a really bad idea. There are some really pissed off people in the world, in excess of 5 billion of them, many with fewer scruples than usual after 6 years of being kicked around by Bush, who would find a Bush daughter irresistible as a means of retribution.

Finally, there's been no evidence that the girl has any credential for such a job. Amy and Chelsea both had public report cards, and damn good ones from good schools.

So this may be like cotton candy, spun out out of heat and air and a sprinkle of sugar, to melt at the slightest touch of damp. For the sake of the children across the border, I sincerely hope so.

[BooScout]

44. And this is in LBN why?

It's not any kind o breaking news and frankly nothing but an attack post on someone who really plays no part in politics. Yes, I loathe her father too, but frankly I think threads such as this are just inane and below the belt. Let's talk policy and not attack children shall we? :eyes:

[Posteritatis]

52. Amen. (n/t)

[ckramer]

45. Why not Iraq?

Or Vietnam?

[Posteritatis]

50. I'm having trouble finding my outrage at this one. (n/t)

[Guaranteed]

55. Bon voyage, dumbass! nt

[goclark]

56. Do you think she was in some legal trouble and this

was a way to get her out of it ~ a deal that was made.

It is such a strange location for her to select.

Something is very fishy.

[goforit]

57. Bush slowly getting his family members out and hiding them?

[gademocrat7]

60. I thought there was a sex video floating around with jenna in it.

Leaving perhaps because in Latin America she won't have to answer any questions about the video? What would the fundie base think???

[Fountain79]

61. Personally...

I thought the tabloid coverage of her and her sister was a little ridiculous. There were quite a few women that I knew in college who partied alot and then got serious when they got out. I don't blame her for seeking a life elsewhere. She has no control over who her father is....

[Up2Late]

62. I guess this means she's NOT signing up for a tour in Iraq.

I wonder, if she did, would she still have about 1/2 a dozen Secret Service people following her every move?

[Beausoir]

64. Outsourced. n/t

[superconnected]

66. Oh, the fat one is going to latin america...

Isn't that where all the nazi familys settled after WWII?

Maybe she's making preparations for her dad once he's ousted.

No offence to overweight people, it's just how I tell the twins apart... the chub-princess and catty... I like to call 'em.

They helped a guy get elected(or steal an election in this case) that has robbed america of billions. I don't think they deserve respect for me not to call em as I see em. The Cow and Cruella... alright I'll stick with chubby and catty.

[Ferret Annica]

80. What I see when I look at Cheney's or Bush's kids:

[mitchum]

71. One down and...how many member are in that goddamn family anyway?

A pox on all the bushes

[IndianaGreen]

73. Where is Jenna going? Cancun? Acapulco?

I can't imagine her teaching the children of peasants in the Andes, or running a school in Chiapas.

79. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt on this

At least until we see what becomes of her. If she goes south of the border and disappears for ten years or something then comes back having taught actual impoverished children or something like that, then cool she's a real human being, but if this gets turned into a press opportunity every step of the way then it's too fake to be real.

This piece of fluff needs locking.
Too many arguments and flames about nothing that matters in the scheme of things.
Feel free to open a Jenna thread in another forum.
