Other than have a purse and phone stolen what exactly have the

[RB TexLa]

Bush girls done in Argentina to cause people to be upset with them? Honestly, I don't get it.

[The Count]

1. Running nekkid through hotels? Making asses of themselves?

Making a joke of the Secret Service?

[madmusic]

2. Is that 3 ways of saying the same charge?

And if the first is false, are they all?

[RB TexLa]

4. naked through hotels? really? Yeah, OK, I also saw a story where Elvis

is selling nuclear secrets to Jamaica.

[Bluebear]

6. Why do you defend these two? Just curious. nt

[RB TexLa]

7. I just don't get what the fuss is about

Really

[Bluebear]

8. I answered below, you only make Elvis jokes?

You don't see any valid points here?

[RB TexLa]

9. The Elvis story is as reputable as the hotel story

[Bluebear]

11. And all you point out is the poor victims, their purse, their cell phone..

Nothing about them having been asked to leave the country, for instance.

[RB TexLa]

12. Hardly think having a purse and phone stolen victimized them much

And the ambassador being upset that someone has taken media time from him and wants them to leave is a reason for anything? Sounds like he's the one making an ass of himself. (or herself, I think I saw it was a man on TV but not certain)

15. Okie dokie. nt

3. Living it up while kids their age are having legs blown off.

The least the twins could do is be discrete, maybe volunteer at Walter Reed. Maybe say "Oh, we want to stay out of the politics of the war but we would like to provide some comfort and thank the injured soldiers"...but nooo. That would be too fucking dignified and responsible.

5. DING -- another generation of BushTurds to make us sick

:puke:

[Bluebear]

17. Exactly. nt

10. It's the Dems who actually SUPPORT the troops

Republicans use them and smear them if they DARE run as Dems in politics. Or if they so much as speak truth to power.

The Bush girls should dance at the Al Franken USO tour this Christmas season.

[Disturbed]

14. Kids? Girls?

Arent't the Bush daughtrs 25 years old?

13. Whether anyone likes it or not, they represent us in the view of many in the world.

Just as all Americans get judged by the boorish behavior of some (the "Ugly Americans"), our nation's young people are judged by the behavior of the daughters of the President of the United States. Their actions are regarded as representative of the range of "best foot forward" behaviors. Is it fair? Well, what employee of a multinational firm wouldn't lose their job if they embarassed their company with a scandal? Other people are subject to far more punitive treatment than they. How many young adults with nothing even close to the wealth and privilege of those two conduct themselves far more responsibly? If, with far less reward and recognition, millions of other young adults adhere to far higher standards, then I'd say it's more than 'fair' to match the criticisms to the inequities in the sperm lottery. Millions would take the deal, criticism and all. I don't hear anyone asking them to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." I don't hear anyone voicing criticisms that far out of range from the kind they'd apply to young adults in their own family.

Do they really need anyone running to their defense? Nope. Cry me a river.

16. Thank you. nt
