First Daughter Barbara Bush's dirty-dancing partner

[kskiska]

First Daughter Barbara Bush's dirty-dancing partner has been hot-footing it from the law.

Gotham gadabout Fabian Basabe - pictured in a hip-lock with Babs on the front page of the Daily News yesterday - is wanted on three warrants in California.

The social climber has been busted for speeding, driving under the influence and trespassing. He even jumped bail in one case, court records show.

Other court files show a string of infractions - but no open warrants - in Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, including two collisions.

(snip)

The pair, described by insiders as "very good friends," boogied into the wee hours, showing off moves that recalled the movie "Dirty Dancing."

But that's not the only fancy footwork the 25-year-old Basabe has been doing: Records show he skipped out on cases in three courthouses in 1999 and 2000.

1. They always say that girls date guys who remind them...

...of their fathers.

I guess that's true!

[Bozita]

2. Sounds like marryin' material for the BFEE

Bet he can fly F-102s too.

[Minstrel Boy]

3. Make an honest woman of her, Fabian, and you'll see

that record disappear like magic.

[Bozita]

5. "Disappearing records" runs in the family

must be the genes

[Tinoire]

10. LMAO! n/t

[2004Donkeys]

4. Who gives a shit?

Not me

[hang a left]

6. Dragging family members through the mud will not win you

any sympathy with the masses. It will just piss people off. That was my first thought before I clicked on the thread.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

7. Huh?

[notbush]

8. I agree

I agree.......

[hang a left]

9. I just found the gossip coverage of 21 year old Bush daughter's

"very good friend" dirty dancing partner and wanted man to be in bad taste. Thats all.

[BillZBubb]

16. She is fair game

The White House has announced she will be campaigning for the Shrub this year. That means her public behavior is open to scrutiny.

If she supports this phony "family values" religious right wingnut owned president, she had better be walking the walk.

[Malva Zebrina]

26. that is my feeling also

since when do we protect active campaigners for the evil Bush, especially these two who already have a record?

We are the victims of Bush, and consequently, if these two campaign actively like show horses for their father, who murdered thousands of people on his lies, they are indeed, fair game and we are also their victims. Blame the victim is not my cup of tea. I got over the rag rug "make nice to everyone even if they are evil and want to hurt you" personna a long time ago.

[Karenina]

35. Does ANYONE here recall

the HUGE brouhaha over Chelsea's supposed "erect nipples" in a sweet photo of her with her boyfriend? They were minding their own damn bidness, NOT making a spectacle of themselves and the spin was "OMIGAWD! She's NOT WEARING A BRA!!!!" (Karenina was FORCED to cover her kids' eyes with her bare hands to protect them from the SCANDAL).

I'm sorry. These girls are of legal age and are "heiresses" to the "RULES DON'T APPLY TO ME" mindset that they've been so carefully taught.
WHAT? Drinking age laws? WHAT? Secret Service personnel trying their best to PROTECT their butts? "FUCK YOU! I'll tell my daddy! He'll DESTROY YOU! The RULES do NOT apply to me!!!" Let them "campaign" on THAT issue.

[Tinoire]

11. So why did you click on it?

:shrug:

Maybe you're right. Maybe we should just hold them up as fine examples of family values instead. Bush family values. They did make that an important issue after all.

[2004Donkeys]

12. Agreed. I'm more angered that the big brother press

Can pull up your court files for traffic infractions with such ease.

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. But aren't they our moral compass?

How in the world can we live without Republicans as good examples? They are such perfect people that they can control who we love, what god we believe in, what we keep in our uterii, and even what television shows we let taint our fragile little minds. We're much too stupid to think for ourselves. The neocons say it, so it must be true. :eyes:

-----

Look, Barbara Bush's life is her own affair. I don't care who she dates or what she does. It doesn't mean anything. However, the neocons are hypocrites. If Barbara Bush has the right to privacy, then so do the rest of us. If 'family values' are important, then they should be the ones to skewer her.

I agree that liberals shouldn't really give a damn. However, I do think it's fair to hold someone to their own standards.

[Karenina]

39. You hit my visceral button p_e_r!

:toast: It's about STANDARDS. It's about CHARACTER. It's about CHOICES. I was raised as a little "white" girl in America. You know, George Washington never-tell-a-lie, meritocracy and all that. At about 6, I realized and was able to articulate the ways in which the color of my skin and the texture of my hair made a HUGE DIFFERENCE. I was always "too smart for my own good" and needed to be SILENCED.

I was taught that I had to be "twice as good." I rose to and exceeded that challenge while coping with the ire of those who recognized it. The result is I have skills that make me "one of one" in a world of billions and STILL have to FIGHT for every fucking millimeter. I have been FOR DECADES held to "standards" by those who had NO HOPE of ever reaching them. However, they held the "power."

The twins have "inherited" power that goes against EVERY myth that I as an American was taught. They are adults now, basking in the "glow" of the most corrupt family the world has ever witnessed. FAIR GAME.

[Terwilliger]

20. Like Roger Clinton?

Billy Carter?

Mike Dukakis' wife?

[Toots]

21. But they base their whole speil on "Family Values"

:shrug: You think the family shouldn't shed light on how they practice what they preach?

[rhino47]

23. I agree

[0007]

29. I like to model myself after the media

"If ya have nothing bad to say about someone, don't say anything at all."

Seriously, I hear that Babara is indeed an excellent dancer. The old one that is!

[Jose Diablo]

33. No no

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[KoKo]

34. What? The Bush girls are over 18 and if they are doing "Dirty Dancin'"

it's a story. :shrug:

[chyjo]

13. Elektra complex anyone?

n/t

[NewJeffCT]

15. sounds like a future prominent Republican

this guy certainly has the resume for it...

[evil_orange_cat]

17. uhmmm who cares?

seriously... why do we need to be worrying about what Babs JR is doing? she's a consensual adult (the left always attacks the right for commenting on social behaviors) and not the one up for election.

[Terwilliger]

19. the left always attacks the right? did you forget the rest of the time...

where the right always attacks the left for commenting on social behaviors?

Why is it that Repukes get a pass on the one thing that they label liberals as being devoid of "values" about?

[Terwilliger]

18. More activities by the Bush Crime Family

and why should the offspring be any different?

Shrub was fucking around during Vietnam, Barbara and Jenna seem to be immune from serving for their country as well.

The whole fucking family is a bunch of silver-spoon draft-dodgers.

[bushwakker]

22. Just Like Daddy

[AngryAmish]

24. No mercy

Every aspect of Chelsea was an open book, fight fire with fire.

[Silverhair]

25. So What?

The twins are not political, and should be allowed to have their privacy. They didn't choose for W to run, and in fact begged him NOT to run. Leave them alone. Until they start to campaign for daddy, they are non combatants.

[0007]

30. I don't believe talking about their unruly behavior will have any

lasting effect on 'em. Might piss a few folks off in Midland, but other what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[Dr Fate]

27. BOOORIIIING. No photo, no story.

n/t

[eleny]

28. Just wait!

Rush will rail against the paper for showing the photo. I'm recalling how dirty he was towards Chelsea.

36. Some pics of the lovely young ladies:

Makes me proud to be a Murkin!

[wuushew]

37. I need the new picture

I must for myself judge how "dirty" the dancing was. All the anti-twins sites have not updated yet.

[goclark]

38. Girls Gone WIld

If they dare to campaign, their "credentials" should be fair game. You can bet if they had any info on the Demon children the Repugs would be all over it.

They have no shame and it seems that is the only tactic they respond too. I do like Kerry's charge to Bring It On!

[Malva Zebrina]

40. the reason they have no shame

is the same reason that their evil father and their complacent Stepford mother have no shame. In their minds they are "entitled" they know nothing else, actually, and indeed the rules do not apply to them.

I see nothing but grief ahead for these two, rather vacant, superficial, women whose soul has dried up and whose focus is upon, like their mom and their dad, what they can "get" due to the priveledge of their birth. Indeed, they do see, imo, a certain people as "beneath" them, it seems. They are as spoiled as George and the rest of his classless Bush family evil empirte.

They are indeed shallow and apparently as stupid as their mother and father. They may be "trainable" enough to go out and give a stump speech, but may they be protested at each and every one.

[goclark]

41. Twins Gone Wild

Aren't there some studies that if the parents drink a lot there can be problems with the birth,especially twins?

That Jenna really looks a lot like her Dad and her Mom and she is truly a Girl Gone Wild. Her elevator does not go all the way to the top floor-just like her daddies elevator.

Twin Barbara looks like she is screwed on a little tighter but not tight enough.

And to think that they rag on Chelsea! That makes me so mad, she was a perfect young lady the entire time she was in the White House. Both twins put together don't hold a candle to Chelsea.

I can't for the life of me figure out why the Stepford Wife would say on national TV that the Twins were going to campaign. Is this something that the Republicans want them to do? If so,Rove is ready to set sail for sure.
