Bush Girls look unprofessional unless they've chosen the oldest profession

[linazelle]

...if you know what I mean. ;)

I just saw * on the local news proudly announcing at a campaign stop that he had his girls with him. He said it made the days shorter having them around.

Then they showed Jenna and Barbara. I know many here say they shouldn't be attacked but the way they dress begs for comment. Jenna's cleavage was very noticeable. Both wear bell bottoms and are very casual in all the shots I've seen of them. You'd think they'd look a little more presentable--professional maybe. Of course I know they want the young vote so there may be a method to the madness but at first glance it just appears they are being prostituted by * and the RepubliCONS--nothing is off limits if it moves their sacred approval ratings.

Wish I had pix. What say you?

[tridim]

1. I say let the kids have a debate

That would be must see TV.

[lottie244]

63. Haven't heard Rush talk about the 'First Sluts' like he did Chelsea

have you?

[Spiffarino]

2. I hate to even comment, but...

...have to agree. Lots of exposed boobs on Jenna the other day. Maybe she just likes to dress that way and daddy is tolerant of it. I mean, no big deal to me, but to conservatives? Granny Winchester will fall out of her deer stand seein' them teeters.

[notadmblnd]

3. she likes to do this too

as her air conditioned car passes the citizens of St. Louis Mo while they stand in scortching heat to get a glimpse of their chimperor.

[linazelle]

5. Laugh or cringe? I'm not sure how to react at this blatant similarity

to her dad's inappropriate behavior.

[NightOwwl]

6. Like father like daughter.

Spoiled, petulant, childish brat.

ETA: Great minds think alike linazelle. :hi:

[Kanary]

8. This is Jenna, right? So, why isn't this picture all over CNN and papers?

I'm gonna wake to see this on the front page of my local paper, is that right?

It must be *REALLY* nice to belong to the party that never does any wrong......

:crazy:

Kanary

[tblue37]

22. Remember the picture of Chelsea

plastered all over Drudge a year or two ago? The point was that her nipples were evident under her very demure turtleneck sweater. But pictorial evidence shows that Jenna behaves like a spoiled brat, and it causes barely a ripple.

[Kanary]

25. I was thinking of all the crap about Chelsea as "dog"

I think we need to go back to underground newspapers, and print some of this crap ourselves......

Just the side-by-side comparisons........ show up the freeper hypocracy....

I sent this photo to a conservative couple, and that will probably be the last they speak to me. Oh well, they sent me plenty of crap over the years. One grows weary.......

Jenna deserves to be plastered *EVERYWHERE*........

Kanary

[Mike Daniels]

33. Uhh, you won't see it because it's not newsworthy?

The only time I saw pictures of Chelsea in less than flattering pictures was either on RW web-sites or tabloids like the National Enquirer. I sure didn't see anything that reflected poorly on her in the major, legitimate papers.

BTW, the picture of Jenna is in the Washington Post. Buried on the gossip/society happening page - exactly where it belongs.

[Gruenemann]

67. Page A2, San Antonio Express-News

The pic was there this morning.

[TowelBoy]

74. I've seen it

She laughed about it, like a joke. And I guess to her it was, she seems kind of clueless :/

This is all just propoganda to turn the heat down. Bush is using her like a frikkin human shield.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

53. Who the hell is she sticking her tongue out at?

And don't three year olds do that?

[mitchum]

48. Her big breasts distract you from her incredibly round face...

somewhat.
That girl should never go ANYWHERE near a basketball court.

[Mr_Spock]

57. Who? Globe dome?

lol

[Jerseygirltoo]

4. I hesitated to make a remark about it

I don't want to sound like I'm trashing another woman for her clothing choices, but they do look pretty tacky-not what you would expect from the daughters of a wealthy blue-blood family. Maybe that look appeals to a certain demographic.

[CaTeacher]

7. ugh---it was humiliating--a few days ago

everyone was making fun of how tacky one of the girls looked--and I have almost that exact same outfit. Never thought I looked like a complete slut in it.

I think it is Jenna's attitude and stuff that makes her seem a little off--she definitely has that air of a partier. Barbara seems classier to me....she doesn't really seem slutty at all....just my opinion though.

[seabeyond]

17. until i just saw the picture of barbara sprawled, legs spread

in a dress on another post. drunk and jenna sittin laughing.

nah, not thinking barbara has that much class either

[zmdem]

28. A bit sexist perhaps ?

Never been young, a bit foolish perhaps ? Maybe you weren't followed around by photograhers when you made a fool of yourself in your youth, if you you ever did so. As to spread legs and being classy, the remark speaks for itself.

Jenna & Barbara Bush are not the issue, Pres. G. W. Bush is. Focus.

[tnlefty]

35. Yeah, and I fondly refer to them as my 'young and stupid days', but it

seems that you are lowering expectations for them the way that far too many have done for the drunken Dimson*.

I had times when I drank way too much, combined drugs with alcohol, and was a party animal, but I was always aware of my crotch and who might have been trying to touch it, see it, etc. I think that you get the picture. No, I didn't have photographers following me around, but to be that drunk and splayed out on the Cheneying street is beyond my comprehension.

From one of the 'best families that American has to offer' - give me a Cheneying break!

[Bandit]

36. But Bush* promised to bring Dignity to the Whitehouse

Are you saying they are behaving in a dignified manner?

[seabeyond]

43. most would laugh hearing me called a sexist, hm

no not being sexist and yes i have done plenty in younger and not so younger days drunk. i also know when i was younger and my dad well known in town, i told mom the pressure i had having to behave a certain way. and she told me that is part of being a family. not to embarrass each other. they dont embarrass me, i shouldnt embarrass them. i agree with that. but if father is president, i think i would be having a little more conscious then i did in my own life. now even without camera and even in my drunkest, i didnt feel the need to lay on ground legs spread dress up at waist.

anyway, dont care, but no, in that moment, there isnt a lot of class in that behavior, regardless how it is excused.

[mitchum]

50. TO HELL WITH THEM AND THEIR DEFENDERS!

THEY ARE CAMPAIGNING FOR THEIR GODDAMN FATHER!
Sorry if you dont like it, Sir Galahad

[wellstone_democrat]

64. The comeback of all time! "Sir Galahad" lol

They are at formal public events doing a JOB. They are also old enough, one would think, to have a sense of what is appropriate attire for such events-=---and bar wear ain't it anywhere I ever lived.

They aren't minors and they are in public positions so I reserve the right to criticize them. I'm with you on this mitchum.

[mitchum]

66. And I am proud to be with YOU, wellstone _democrat

:)

[VOX]

65. We don't call Bush* "Pres." around here. It's a legitimacy thing.

As for the girls, it's the Chimp himself who's suddenly sprouted fatherhood and is trotting his daughters around in public, all in a futile attempt to show what a great family man and role model he's been. It shows, doesn't it?

So, yes, *he* is the issue after all.

[Bunny]

37. I don't think that is the Bush girls.

I sent it to snopes to see what they say, but I'm pretty sure it's NOT the twins.

[doni_georgia]

39. You mean this one?

[seabeyond]

41. post #14 has the picture to the right upper side

not this picture.

[progressivebydesign]

20. don't worry.. there's a difference between club wear..

..and something you'd wear around your Dad's workplace. You know what I mean? It DOES seem that the Bush girls are hell-bent on showing off the surgical rewards of being rich. I don't think the outfits are slutty, but they are pretty damn inappropriate for the job at hand. It makes me sick the way he's trotting them out ALL the time now... This started RIGHT after Edwards cute kiddies were all over the news, at a FAMILY weekend. Now, Bush's daughters are his new handlers. Is Bush still married? Where's wifey?

[KidneyStoner]

9. You can lead a horticulture

but you can't make her think!

:spank:

[gardenista]

18. Hey, this thinking horticulturist takes ubrage to that remark!

[linazelle]

10. kick

[Poiuyt]

11. Best not to point fingers about this

There was that picture of Kerry's daughter at the Cannes film festival wearing a see-through dress.

[sandnsea]

13. She wasn't campaigning at the time n/t

[tblue37]

24. And the dress wasn't really "see-through"

The effect of powerful camera flashes made an otherwise demure dress into a see-through garment. Everyone who saw the dress in person said it was not at all see-through. I am sure Alexandra was surprised and appalled that the camera flashes had that effect.

[Must_B_Free]

12. about 70 pics on yahoo

Barbara was the beauty contest winner in that set of shots.

[Mr_Spock]

14. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[loathesomeshrub]

19. OH MY GOD!! N/T

[greenbriar]

31. are those picts the bush twins??

cause I just got slammed on another board for using them when they weren't the bushy twins???

[linazelle]

32. NOT the Bush twins--that's from Whitehouse.org--comedy site

[Mr_Spock]

47. Sorry, that is a joke - the other poster seems to know the original source

I just think it is hilarious. :(

[DemBones DemBones]

15. I've seen both girls wearing surplice-style halters

with another knit shirt under it over bells, and thought the same thing: for the campaign trail? You know they can afford anything they want.

As for Kerry's daughter, I haven't seen the photos of her at Cannes but she was at Cannes, not out campaigning for dad in the US.

I'd think GOP women would be thinking badly of the twits, er, twins.

:shrug:

[progressivebydesign]

21. In defense of Kerry's daughter and the see thru top..

.. I owned a shirt like that once. Until someone snapped a flash photo of me, NO ONE knew that it was completely see-through. Sometimes dark, loosely knit fabrics cans surprise you that way. My family still jokes about that photo of me!

[Ripley]

30. And she was at a FILM FESTIVAL with celebrities where sexy

is IN. I've never seen the Kerry kids dress MTV style while campaigning.

Setting is big difference. Clearly the Bush twins are window-dressing. I haven't even heard them speak. Do they? Can they?

[tnlefty]

51. You too, huh?

I bought a sleeveless turtleneck to wear to a party and in the dressing room and at home it was fine. It was unfortunate to discover in different lighting that it became see through. Not just a little, but nipple-distinction-see-through! I was more than mortified!!!!

[bloom]

16. I didn't see the photos you are referring too, but

there was also the photo of Edwards daughter and lots of guys around here making inappropriate comments.

I'm afraid the Republicans are looking for a few inappropriate comments for one of their own.

Considering Cheney's "go fuck yourself" strutting, and Arnold's "Girly Man" gibe.... I don't think it is accidental.



But that's being really cynical.... :shrug:

[Cleita]

23. Well, I don't think they dress differently than any college girls

their age. (Our nearest city that I shop in is a college town so you get a feel of the styles young people wear.) Yeah, I know, they are out of college but maybe the style is there for a season. I don't think their dress code is much of something to comment on right now. However, let's talk about mama Laura. Boy does she need the Queer eye guys to fix her up.

[Kanary]

26. I respectfully disagree with you.......

"However, let's talk about mama Laura. Boy does she need the Queer
eye guys to fix her up."

IMHO, lack of "style" is NOT a point to criticize....... it's shallow, and leads no where. It comes across as just mean.

Remember Eleanor Roosevelt? She was no looker, and certainly didn't project an image of "style". Do we need to tear down such women of substance for such shallow reasons?

ON the other hand, the RW has made their whole case about "MORAL ISSUES"......... showing up their hypocracy with pictures of the wild daughters only points up just how hypocritical they really are. I really hate that picture of Jenna with her legs spread, but since they have made such a deal of how moral they are, that picture should be pasted all over. Let their loyal minions see just how Moral they are.....not. I can imagine a run of heart attacks among the righteous....

Dare I say...... "bring it on"......?

Kanary

[Cleita]

29. LOL Kanary, you've been respectfully disagreeing with

me a lot lately, so it's my turn, now. Laura Bush is no Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor could have worn a gunny sack and no one would notice because everyone was too fixated listening to what she had to say. Also, back in those days (I know because I lived in them) our news was received mostly over the radio and in print. As a matter of fact, Eleanor had her own syndicated column for quite awhile, which I always read when I was in the states. Television didn't become widely used until the fifties so the only time you saw them was in news photos or newsreels in the movie theater.

She also dressed appropriately for her day and age by wearing a hat and gloves when appropriate. Back in those days middle aged women dressed appropriately for their age and the fashion rules were very defined even to skirt length and appropriate colors for older women in the spotlight. Mamie Eisenhower also would have been considered dumpy today, but her fashion was appropriate for a middle aged married woman of the fifties. Mamie even made bangs popular again.

Laura unfortunately looks like her outfits come from a garage sale. Many of them need to be tailored to fit her have seen her inappropriately dressed in certain venues with foreign leaders and their wives. It's called protocol and even the Queen of England follows the rules of protocol when meeting foreign dignitaries, so why can't the Bushs? They are representing each and every American.

[Kanary]

34. I, personally, just think it leaves the door open for more superficial

attacks.

It really matters not if she looks like "her outfits come from a garage sale"....... that can be countered with Elizabeth Edwards being overweight. It's all just silly. It says *NOTHING* about the actual policies.

If Laura were the first lady of a great Democrat who liberated us from this whole horrible mess, you can be sure her "garage sale" clothes would be the least of our consideration. If she were that first lady, I wouldn't even notice what she had on at all. I'd just be grateful to finally be liberated from this nightmare!

The twins are another story....... they aren't just tacky...... their behavior flies in the face of all the "standards" the RW keeps touting. A different category.

And, as much as I adore Eleanor Roosevelt, she was definitely not an attractive woman, or a good dresser. Just doesn't matter. She was a remarkable, and deeply compassionate, human being, and a leader.

My view. :hi:

Kanary

[zmdem]

27. I say give it a rest

George W. Bush is the issue, not the manner in which his daughters dress.

[hippiegranny]

52. say what you want

but we GAVE it a rest until the twits (typo, but appropriate, think i'll leave it) started "campaigning." now that they have entered the political arena, they are fair game. holy, born again george has made moral policing central to his policy, therefore it is not out of the realm of fairness to suggest his family doesn't walk the talk, capische?

[dave29]

38. Maybe Jenna just

don't want her Dad to be Prez no more.

[Disturbed]

40. An attempt to attract the Yoot vote?

Maybe it's a purposeful attempt?

Maybe the wealthy, white trash look is the "new" thang?

[onecent]

42. On CBS just 45 min ago

On CBS tonight they showed Jenna sticking her tongue out, what was interesting was she didn't do it once...she did it twice...

If it had been Kerry's or Edwards children it would be headlines.

[Djinn]

44. If any Dem daughter

was criticised like this and called a tramp/slut/tacky etc for showing ...shock horror...some cleavage we'd call it not only pathetic and irrelevant but sexist as well. She's not running for office and even if she was I wouldn't have a problem with her cleavage.

Just because "they do it to us" isn't a good reason to follow them into the abyss of judging people on appearance

[Malva Zebrina]

45. I see no reason at all to "protect" the slutty twins

they are really quite immature and they are campaigning for their father and they are fulfilling a role and that is to get the vote of the young. I am convinced of that now.

They are fair game and their sloppy, slovenely, slutty cleavage exposing manner of dress is downright classless and inappropriate for what they are being paid for--or is it?

It looks like daddy Bush loves displaying the cleavage of his Jenna--and the bosom of his barb.

He is so proud of it all--hey it is as if he owns that cleavage--take a look guys--it is mine.

Sorry--they are without class--and in fact are crass. If they are campaigning, we are not obliged to "respect" this display of slovenly dress as merely something we can pass off as something due to thier "youth"

Many, including myself, were well on our way to pregnancy, repsonsibility and raising our babies, which takes a whole lot of ability to sacrifice, as I am sure many here know--these two are simply behaving like spoiled brats, as George is still behaving like a spoiled frat boy

This is the rich and the priveledged you see before you. They are immature tongue sticking out, wealthy brats with no sense of "other"

[90-percent]

46. daughters

I'm in favor of taking the high road, but these girls seem pretty oblivious and I doubt if cheap shots are going to bother them.

It does seem kind of sad to take such young people and force them into the public eye. In this case, it doesn't seem like they're ever going to be much of a selling point for Bush.

PS, not a freeper, just new.

thanks to the people from the other threads for your greetings.

-85% Jimmy

[Mr_Spock]

49. But I thought you were 90%? Now only 85%?

lol

[Djinn]

54. so clothing that shows cleavage

is slutty? I better go home and change. I can't beleive that posters here really beleive that the way you dress reflects your morality or even use the word "slutty" what exactly does that mean anyway?

[linazelle]

59. Yes clothing showing cleavage IS slutty in certain settings

If Bush and his daugters were going to a gala event where cleavage was appropriate, it would not seem slutty. But when he's making regular campaign stops, I'd think they would want to be a little more modest to keep the focus on their father. But then, with a father like that, they probably need to dress even more provocatively so they become the topic of discussion instead of Bush's continuing failure.

[Djinn]

60. so what does "slutty" mean anyway

personally I think it's a pretty sexist term in that I can't think of a male equivalent. I also can't see what's so "immodest" about cleavage. Maybe it's a cultural difference - it's pretty hot half the year so more skin is on show - but I just can't get puritanical about short skirts or low cut tops, for a start I'd have to throw out half my wardrobe

[DarbyUSMC]

55. Possibly trying to appeal to the 18 -25 vote? It would make sense that

they'd dress as people do at that age. OMO. I didn't see them, don't know, but hanging the daughters out to dry isn't needed. Perhaps the fashion police should be alerted but for people to call them sluts and other things seems overboard to me. If the shoes were on the other feet would we be having this debate? I haven't learned a lot in my life but I have learned to be careful about what I say about someone's kid because, sure enough, it will come back to make me want to eat my words. It's your right though and last time I looked, we still have that right.

[KG]

56. they dress and act like the ignorant, rich, white trailer-trash they are.

dang sure ain't nothing to be proud of. :puke:

[Ellen Forradalom]

58. Gonna smother that girl in chocolate syrup and strap her on again

[walldude]

61. So the way they dress begs for comment?

Please, has it come down to this? Trashing the kids(deserved or not) to get at the Shrub? Just because they are with him does not mean they are "campaigning" for him. Actually from what I've seen, they don't think much of their father or themselves. Bush has to keep up appearances of being the "family values" candidate so he's going to keep them on a short leash till after the election. In the meantime how about we keep on the Shrub for things like stealing Iraqi oil revenues, killing thousands of innocents, or maybe THE TORTURE AND RAPE OF CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon people, tell me I'm wrong, tell me how we don't have enough against Bush so we have to attack his children. It's a real Neo-Con/Limbaugh/Hannity strategy and we should be better than that...

[linazelle]

62. What "kids" are you referring to--Jenna and Barbara Bush Jr. are women

and they ARE campaigning with that man who stole the election. They are fair game.

[mitchum]

68. Those spoiled snots ARE campaigning for their goddamn father...

they are fair game

[walldude]

69. Well then please link me

to someplace where I can read what they have said in their campaign speeches or statements, and I'll take it back. Honestly, all I have ever seen is pictures of them either drunk or with their father(or maybe both) and I just assumed they were doing the dutiful family thing and not actively campaigning.

Oh and I must be older than I thought cause they look like kids to me....

[grasswire]

70. oh....

....for the days of Tricia and Julie Nixon or the Johnson daughters in the White House. They dressed with excellent taste for their position in life, as representatives of the American people.

And don't give me that crap about how they didn't choose to represent us. They benefit from the perks of OUR tax dollars. Every day. They can at least look well groomed and respectful.

[mitchum]

71. They also benefit from the $$$$ that their goddamn family has looted......

from the public treasury for generations.
Frankly, I don't care how they dress. However, I do care that they are evidence of ANOTHER generation of the parasitic, mendacious Bush family. To hell with all of them.

[wellstone_democrat]

72. Amen to that brother (once again) plus...

They are sure as hell traveling on OUR money. I don't care if the campaign kicks in plane fare for them they have federal protection 24/7 everyday and all the other perks that the federal government pays for as they wander around the country, and they are , in this case, appearing with the (alleged) President as part of his entourage. His campaign has said they were working for the campaign so, they don't need to make speeches, they are there for the visual of "family support"---and God help us, probably next we will hear that they are "learning the family business."

They are doing a job even if that job is "pretty dutiful daughters" to project that family man image that gets endless lip service by these asshats. They want privacy? Then retire to the private sphere and get a job or sit on the beach, its July, they have a place in Maine. Otherwise, you live in public you get criticized for falling short.

[TowelBoy]

73. No need for picks

I've seen them way too much on the mass(ively ignorant) media. And you are dead on. He's got (relatively) good looking daughters. They're young, they're cute, and they're showing the light, happy, smiley, stick your tongue out at the media and we'll all have a jolly chuckle, carefree side of the compassionate conservatives.

And it is all such bullshit. Makes me angry, really.
