Jenna wants to teach Blacks and Hispanics in Harlem
And monkeys will fly outa my a**!
I just heard this on the news. What a steaming pile of propaganda! :eyes: Does anyone believe this for one moment? Is this little snip to make up for * snubbing the NAACP?

when she shows up for work with her 20 man security detail watching her every move.

I bet they frisk all the kids.

11. Just because her daddy is an asshole doesn't mean she is too
remember that Ronald Reagan's son is liberal and is speaking at the Dem convention. And I think shrub's niece Lauren is a liberal too. She's an animal rights activist and the sexiest vegetarian in Texas.

13. Agree with that
They are probably just unaware of how big of an ass their dad is. I'm sure if they knew what the Republican party stood for and George Bush wasn't their dad they'd be voting for Kerry.

34. Sorry, you're wrong.
Ron Reagan never actively campaigned for his dad. Has Lauren Bush campaigned for Bush*?

Anyone who campaigns for Bush* is an asshole--by definition.

51. Most people will support their own father
regardless of how evil he may be. I think Ron Reagan did campaign for Ronald, but I doubt Lauren would do anything for stupid Uncle George.

19. "My father's campaign comes first."
Same with sis who wants to do art therapy for AIDS children. I bet all those lofty "goals" change after the big campaign.

55. "Art Therapy" That's the reason this smells like BS.
Barbara studied Humanities, not Art Therapy. That requires a four year degree, and most often, a masters. Jenna has an English degree and no teaching certificate. So these two are volunteering for a while, which is nice, but they are not like people who actually want to work in a humanitarian field. It's obvious spin.

Why didn't she just decide to teach in Texas. There are many kids there who need good teachers, as well as any other place.

she has no REAL concept of the poor, where they live, who they are. But she's heard Harlem mentioned on TV. DOesn't Texas have the worst education system of the USA?

24. Ya know I hate to be cynical but...
One daughter teaching inner-city schools and the other helping AIDs victims? It's almost a cliche, for crissakes! Sorry, not buying it. And I will eat part of a shoe-shaped cake if either of these purported goals turn out to be realized.

29. Huh, that's what I thought, too.
I'm sure that when they blow out the candles on their birthday cake, they both wish for world peace. Too cliche for words. If they were sincere, they would ask their Dad to help inner-city school teachers and tell him to fund the AIDS programs that he always talks about, but never gets around to paying for.

Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 09:37 PM by tom_paine
The funny thing is, these gals might actually might have to DO that, for a short time anyway

(probably go AWOL, like Father, like daughters)

Of course, we've seen the Party-Loyal Bushevik Sub-Media and Corporate TV Pravda easily deflect and ignore stories much more inflammatory and newsworthy than that.

That's the perk of being in the Imperial family. Say one thing, demonstrably do another, proceed without conscience as if you haven't done anything wrong or lied. You're ROYALTY, for God's Sakes.

So, it is VERY possible that these girls won't have to spend a DAY in Harlem. Three months, at most.

32. She wants to teach in a charter school because she won't need a valid
certificate to do so. Charter schools! What a joke. Does Yale actually have an ed program? Then didn't this novice "teacher" get an English education degree?

And, after teaching all the little blacks and Hispanics and saving whole neighborhoods from AIDS, will the girls then go off to fight poverty, save the whales, and personally vanquish evil?

Jesus. This is incredible. :puke:

38. If she is really interested in educating the poor..
why is she campaigning for a man that has slashed the crap out of education funding.

then barb say she wants to help AIDS kids??? Please... you can't want those as your goals then agree to partake in a campaign that would do the opposite - why not just not do the campaign thing if you really gave a crap about those issues?

ooopss.. sorry, I forgot I was talking about the BFEE - they'll say ANYTHING :eyes:

39. So?
It doesn't change my opinion of her father. And I don't think it's relevant to ridicule Jenna. Maybe she sincerely does want to teach. How should I know? Do I personally know her? Of course not.

My quarrels are with her father and grandfather. Not Jenna or Barbara Jr. or Laura. Let them be who they wanna be. I don't know them and I don't care.

.... right ?????

BTW, what did Jenna major in .... ELEMENTARY EDUCATION ???????

NNNOOOOOOOO

When did she get this need to wallow amongst the proles ???? Apparantly not anytime before meetins with her guidance counciling.


At the very least it's good to see the father/daughter bonding going on. George has taught a very important lesson in political life ... LIE like a motherfucker about what you're going to do. Tell the proles whatever will make you seem better in their eyes.

Next thing you know, Jenna will be talkin' just like Ellie May while toting some minority children around in lieu of 'critters'.

47. I think its impossible to live and work in Harlem and not become liberal.
Just being in the environment, talking to people, seeing the problems, the poverty, the simple joys, and all the other issues inner-city communities that Harlem has to offer, I find it hard that even a hard-core repug would not shift left in their thinking. There is hope for Bush's offspring, just like there was hope for Ron Reagan Jr. if they can just expose themselves to some more diverse cultures and viewpoints than they're parents ever were.
