Book: Bush twins see 'themselves as victims of daddy's job'

[meegbear]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's twin daughters have shown little interest in their family's tradition of public service and are unhappy about the limelight they find themselves in, a new book says.

Jenna and Barbara Bush "have not campaigned or reined in their adolescent rebellions," Washington Post reporter Ann Gerhart says in the book published this week, "The Perfect Wife: The Life and Choices of Laura Bush."

"They have not appeared engaged in any of the pressing issues their generation will inherit, nor shown empathy for the struggles facing their mother and their father," Gerhart says. "They don't show their faces at the White House often."

The book recalls the twins' run-ins with the law in underage drinking incidents. The girls regard their Secret Service agents as "their chauffeurs, bellhops and valets," the book says. It says "they persist in seeing themselves as victims of daddy's job."

Pity party for the * twins. :cry:

3. Maybe Fox can Hire them for a Reality TV show?

Kind of like the Simple Life, they Could show them in the White House getting drunk and kissing the Secret Service Guys.

Then they could take the limo out for a spin to a Night Club and get in a bar brawl, shirts can get ripped off, etc.......the possibilities are endless.

4. Boo Fucking Hoo

Christ, who the fuck cares about the whining of these spoiled, pampered little brats? There are people in this country who are jobless, who are homeless, who are worried about their lives..

And these ungrateful bitches worry about how they are "victims"

Tough shit. Too fucking bad. Life is unfair, kids. Of course, their family name is Bush, so they don't have to worry about the REAL problems in life.

Terry, PISSED OFF and getting steamed about reading this garbage.

5. Whatever!

They can have their own reality show on Faux...

6. Why...

Can I not gin up any sympathy for these two? I mean, to this day if Chelsea reveals that like every other human, she has nipples on her chest, she is excoriated roundly and insulted at length. These two could pull a train with the UTex Football varsity, The entire linup of male models at the Ford Agency and Limp Biskit, in the Quad in Austin(Complete with the UTex Steer participating) and they would get a pass.

I mean, in one sense, I would admire them for maximizing their sexual potential, but really...;-)

9. The UT mascot is retiring...

...what a way to go out. ;-)

Of course, Barb, the younger would ask that the Yale bulldog be included. }(

Hell, I'm in Austin, I'd pay to watch...

[LynneSin]

12. Hey Dave: You're single, living in Austin and so is Jenna

could there be a love match in the workings.

Could you see one of the Bush twins dating a member of M.A.T.C.O.M.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

A match made in heaven!!!

[GOPisEvil]

13. Dammit Lynne! Did you have to use THAT picture?

What's wrong with that one? Oh, and if Jenna wants to hook up, she can have the Secret Service find me. :D

[LynneSin]

15. You just like showing off your package

Would it be suitable enough for the first daughter???

:D

[GOPisEvil]

18. That's for her to decide...

:D

It would be easy to to pass me off at family gatherings though. I look fairly conservative, I'm from TX, and I attended the university where her grandfather's presidential library is. The pesky FBI would probably out me as a liberal though. :P

[LynneSin]

19. She'd date you just to rebel against daddy....

she'd probably fake using birth control pills just so she could tell daddy a liberal got her preggers.

[GOPisEvil]

20. Oooooooh...

que scandulo!!! That's "how scandalous!!!" loosely translated by me into Spanish...

A liberal love child - there are worse fates. She knows I wouldn't force her into an abortion like her daddy did with his teenage lover (allegedly).

[LynneSin]

21. your love child would be a distant relative.....

of me

We'd be cousins!!!!!

:loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

22. Ooooohhhh...related to TWO LIBERALS!!!

Pack your bags for Gitmo! :bounce:

[LynneSin]

23. Can we be roommates....

again???

:pals:

[GOPisEvil]

24. Of course, but we might need bunk beds.

Those cages are pretty small. :pals:

[LynneSin]

25. What!!!!!! No snuggling???

How else will we keep warm on those chilly cuban nights???

[GOPisEvil]

26. Watch it...Jenna might get jealous!

Does it ever get chilly in Cuba? :shrug:

[LynneSin]

32. I know, with you slobbering all over me when she'd rather be with me

HA!!!!

Bet you weren't expecting that one!!!

[LynneSin]

10. If they did pull a train, somehow Clinton's penis would be blamed

for what the Bush twins did

:shrug:

[kcwayne]

30. Well of course he would be blamed

You don't suppose for a second that the twins would have ever even heard the word penis if it hadn't of been for Clinton do you? I am not convinced Laura knows what a penis is, which is really strange since she has been married to a dickhead all these years.

16. I always thought Chelsea to be an interesting person

I've considered her to be the kind of person you could talk to in a small cafe at length about all manner of things such as history, politics, and religion.

The Bush twins seem to be the type that would discuss "how many can you drink before you puke" in a seedy disco.

[Maine-i-acs]

7. Which twin will run for Pres. in 20 years?

My vote's on Jenna - Bush III! Than I wash the vomit off my keyboard.

More likely? Playboy OR endorsing a Dem. candidate in 2004 ...

[Fridays Child]

14. That will depend on which twin has...

...the Toni!

[KC21304]

28. Oh , that is funny, and clever. Does that date me ?

[Fridays Child]

31. I'm afraid it dates us both!

:o

[NJCher]

8. I don't blame them one bit

I wouldn't give up one little bit of my life just because my dad decided to be a puppet for four years.

29. I remember reading that they were very much against

his running for President. I guess we have something in common with them.

[Bozola]

11. "have not campaigned or reined in their adolescent rebellions,"

Wrong. Rebelling, in their case, would be joining Habitat for Humanity, Greenpeace, or Amnesty International. Rebelling isn't follow exactly daddy's footsteps; living a life of debauchery and wallowing in wealth. Rebelling is doing something Daddy disapproves of. Hell, daddy would join 'em if he could get out of all of his pressing duties.

Yeah. Some rebellion. I sure hope ol'Larry Flint nails 'em but good.

[Fridays Child]

17. No empathy or inerest, but lots of booze. They are just like their father.

Should we feel sorry for these poor little rich girls?

[lancdem]

27. In case anyone cares

the author of this book, Ann Gerhart, is from my hometown of Lancaster. Pa. Politically, she's not a conservative.
