Jenna herself becomes a child left behind
http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertainment/gossip/10670518.htm

FIRST, Jenna Bush was going to teach poor kids in Harlem.

Then, after Harlem didn't welcome her with open arms, she decided she was going to teach poor kids at a Washington, D.C., charter school.

Then important news broke: Jenna would wear a Badgley Mischka dress at dad's inaugural ball.

But what about that teaching job? How's that going?

The Washington Post's Reliable Source says not so well.

The White House has been mum on Jenna's job search (odd since they're usually so forthcoming), but the Post believes Jenna has started work not as a teacher, but as a teacher's aide because she doesn't have the qualifications necessary to take over a classroom under the stringent requirements of No Child Left Behind.

3. She's on a short leash
...Trust Jenna in Noooooooouuuu Yawk City??? The city that never sleeps? Where you can always find an open BAR?

I swear, that's why she didn't end up uptown. Safer to stash her in DC, where the metro stops running at an absurdly early hour, where LAST CALL comes way too early for some, and where it's easier for the gestapo to keep a close eye on her.

She's been muzzled. No more dancing on tables for you, blondie!!! Poor Jenna, in her own hedonistic way, she's the most normal of all of that disfunctional crowd.

9. She wouldn't have lasted...
2 New York seconds in my old neighborhood (inner city) of Baltimore!

Maybe we should give Jenna a break. Afterall, she's god bad genes (not jeans), but GENES!

5. I think she's more interested in being a party girl
Drinking, partying, gossiping, sex, possibly drugs. Working will just be kind of an afterthought. She's a Paris Hilton with slightly less money.

6. loved this quote by Liz Smith about Jenna
"HAUTE TWINS at inauguration. Jenna wearing a green stunner. Sister is cut down to there!" That's the AOL headline about the $40-million festivities to celebrate George W. Bush's win. Do our troops in Iraq care that one of the Bush sisters has a party dress "cut down to there"?

I think all inaugural orgies of spending are ridiculous. (That means Republicans and Democrats.) We know the man won. Take the oath and go to work. Throw $40 million into the shaky Social Security pot. Or use it for better armor for the soldiers."

11. I've talked a friend who voted for * into observing Thursday
with simple foods or a fast. She agreed that the celebration is way over the top considering so many are doing without.

I bet Jenna needs a teaching certification. But i bet she's really looking for her MRS degree in DC.

12. Really!
I've been saying the same thing. And if one looks at the trillions of dollar figures spatting out across the news feeds regarding the actual implimentation of the BS privitization program, it would certain save it. Bushites Mandate!

13. Don't even say such a thing!
Among the many things I don't want to see is Jenna Bush with her clothes off.

18. My sis is a teacher
off for the day, due to a heater problem at her school. I just forwarded her the link and she is currently laughing her *ss off. Ah, the poetic justice.

20. I also applied for a teaching job...
and didn't get it due to NCLB. The principal really wanted to hire me through lateral entry, but the county's school system won't allow it. Now they don't have anyone for the job. Sounds like plenty of children were left behind. This article definitely brightened my day!

:D
