Anybody see the Bushtwins on CSPAN last night?
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 09:20 AM by buycitgo
they were at Marquette, speaking to a small audience of Dianne Arbus types...seriously, what a crowd...looked like a convention of Star Trek wannabes

anyway, Barbara was the only one I saw speak, if you could call it that

she had her head in the podium almost all the time, and got BADLY lost at one point, ending in an embarrassing non-sequitur

she kept calling the chimp her "dod"

very valley-girlish

MUCH worse, if you can believe it, than the convention embarassment

I read a clip here, saying that some protestors were at one of the WI meetings, with signs and slogans

pretty funny: some yelled, "send them to Iraq"

a male bystander responded "send them to my ROOM!"

have to say, that last bit killed!

EDIT: Oh, yeah....anybody think they will be the new version of "The Simple Life," I think it's called? the one with Paris Hilton? I've NEVER watched any reality show, but I WOULD watch that.
It wouldn't surprise me if these vapid little brats, enamored as they clearly are of the spotlight, wouldn't jump at the chance. Dunno if it could happen, but I'd sure like to see it. THINK of the possibilities

2. Yeah, saw some of it.
Hard to believe she is actually a Yale grad and older than 14.

What a ditz.

I predict they will be the first ones yanked off the campaign trail when the race tightens.

5. Probably barely a grad.
But she got into Yale through the Lagacy program the same way her daddy did, so what do you expect?

7. Grad in name only.
The bushies and their ilk don't need to perform. Just look at "dod", for example.

11. I created the pic in Fireworks...
It's pinhead from browning's "Freaks" with the lil'chimp's mug. I thought it was appropriate, but ultimately unfair to microcephalics everywhere.

PINHEAD

I like that word almost as much as douchebag, as in Novak: douchebag for liberty


our HS intramural BasketBall team was Vapor and the Douchebags, but they made us change it to DBs

I've grown up a lot in the intervening years, clearly

4. Bush Twins embarrassing
What an embarrassment to all Americans (not that their daddy isn't already). We know where they got their brains (or lack thereof).

6. Such fools...it's not from their hearts or mind....
Saw a little bit of Jenna first and then Barbara. They're just reading a piece of paper an adult wrote for them. What they read does not fit their lack of intelligence.

Not different from their Mom. Laura only looks sweet with her little accent but she also reads what an adult wrote.

8. give more show info, for C-Span link
I did a quick search and I came up with a youth meeting that was dated 9/1/04. Fowarding thru , I only seen them appear together, so I assume this wasn't the show you are speaking of.

9. Can't compare 'em with Paris Hilton: PH's show is for entertainment
purposes only, and she/her handlers know it and treat it as such.

:evilgrin:

20. A story of their St Norbert's (Green Bay) appearance:
same day as their appearance in Milwaukee (9-15):

President Bush’s twin daughters, Jenna, left, and Barbara, call Republicans Wednesday to remind them to vote. The women were visiting St. Norbert College in De Pere.




The first daughters talked to about 70 members of the College Republicans groups from St. Norbert College and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay at St. Norbert’s Vanden Heuvel Campus Center.

>snip<

The talk was closed to the public and was only open to Bush/Cheney supporters.

Speaking separately — Jenna first, followed by Barbara — each of them referred to the junior President Bush as “my dad” rather than “our dad” and sang the praises of their father and first lady Laura Bush.
“My dad has many qualities that make him a good dad as well as a good president,” a nervous Jenna said, stumbling over a few lines of her written speech. “He’s open-minded and always encouraged us to follow our own passions. It’s really important that he wins.”

>snip<
“There’s a huge benefit to voting for my dad,” Barbara said. “It means my mom will be in the White House for four more years.” She talked up Laura Bush’s activism for women in Afghanistan, calling her a “strong and caring woman.” She boasted that her mother was the first woman ever to do a presidential radio address. Barbara said it’s often been hard to be a Republican in a college atmosphere “where people aren’t supposed to vote Republican until they turn 40” but said they’re working on changing the image. She encouraged young people to vote and said, “Our God and the Republican Party are reaching out to young people.”

>snip<

After the speeches, the twins walked around and greeted students and joined the call bank to make calls. Some students asked to pose for pictures with them.

(Jenna) Check planned to meet the Bush twins once they worked their way across the room. “I’m going to tell (Jenna Bush) that I like her name,” Check said. She thought Jenna’s stumbling made her seem more human than she otherwise might, she said. “It’s to be expected,” she said. “I’d be nervous, too.” She said she figured she’d probably forget what to say once the twins approached her. “It’s as close as you get to a superstar around here,” she said.

A block away from the campus, student supporters of John Kerry waved signs bearing slogans such as “Draft Jenna” and “W Stands for Wrong.”

“It’s ironic that they sent the Bush twins to speak to a college campus, because the Bush administration has been awful to college students,” Mark Gaber, 21, a St. Norbert College senior said. “The job market is bad, and they’ve decreased funding for Pell grants. If you are not in the top 2 percent of the income earners, then you have no place in George Bush’s America.”

Jason Brinker, 21, another St. Norbert senior, said he thought it was sad that the twins’ speeches weren’t open to everybody. “Yesterday Wesley Clark came to campus, and he had an open forum where Republicans and Democrats talk about the issues rather than just a bunch of Republican cronies.”
