Bush Twins won't Cut & Run from Argentina
Despite growing pressure to leave the region, Bush's daughters insist upon staying in Argentina. Where did they learn that kind of stubbornness?

Reports ABC's Blotter:

Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News.
Withdraw in the face of mounting security problems? A ludicrous notion.

Last week ABC reported that Barbara had her purse stolen. Even worse, their shenanigans are creating headlines in the country. One tabloid featured a story about the two running naked, Borat-style, down the hallway of their hotel, according to ABC.

1. BA is a very small city
If someone wants to get them, it won't be hard to find them. The city may be millions, but the hotel zone is about 10 blocks. If that.

4. Running naked down the hallway...
Normally, I say kids are off limits, but they are old enough to know better than such foolishness. I don't recall Chelsea running naked down hallways.

I guess they are raised with silver spoons up their nose, just like their idiot-father.

6. so if advised to leave, and get hurt/kidnapped/etc, whose fault is it?
I know, the clenis. After all, BA wouldn't be like this if it weren't for that.

9. Just what would the RWhave done with info about Chelsea
doing the same kind of stuff? The media included!!!!!

I think we'd be talking about wall to wall scandal!

Of course Chelsea was raised to be much more discrete than the Shrub girls!

11. Sympathy Is A Tried And True Way To Boost Approval Ratings
Just saying . . .

Thursday night, an ABC News producer was able to walk into their hotel unchecked and engage Barbara Bush in conversation while she checked her e-mail on a computer in the lobby. Jenna sat talking with friends on a sofa nearby. No Secret Service agents were anywhere to be seen in the lobby, according to ABC News' Joe Goldman.

They are adults, at least according to their ages.

14. Yes, they are both adults, and it is about time they stopped
embarrassing us all, traveling at taxpayers' expense and acting like spoiled little sluts.

15. And didn't they look cute in their team colors?
Edited on Mon Nov-27-06 05:17 PM by 11 Bravo
Yo, twits, if you want to gear up, may I recommend desert camouflage? That is if your "beautiful minds" can be bothered by such trivial bullshit as Daddy's war.

17. How much is this costing the taxpayer? Didn't they come home for
Thanksgiving at Camp David?

If so, they are back in Argentina:
