Jenna Bush: I may not support McCain

[LTR]

In Republican circles, this could constitute a form of sacrilege.

Speaking on Larry King Live last night, first daughter Jenna Bush, who appeared alongside first lady Laura Bush, confessed that she's not sure if she'll vote for the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Sen. John McCain, and even left open the possibility that she'd support either Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Clinton.

KING: Do you have a favorite between the two, the two Democrats?

LAURA BUSH: My favorite is the Republican.

KING (pointing to Jenna): Yours too, I would imagine.

JENNA BUSH: I don't know.

KING: A-ha! Are you open to...

JENNA BUSH: Yeah, of course. I mean, who isn't open to learning about the candidates and I'm sure that everybody's like that.

This, of course, causes us to wonder one thing: Could Jenna Bush and Patti Davis become fast friends? (Davis, you'll recall, was the liberal daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan who became famous for dissenting from her family's politics.)

1. Obviously, W is not her biological father...

:evilgrin:

[LibraLiz1973]

22. I just wet my pants

[JI7]

2. McCain's daughter voted Kerry

payback ?

[sampsonblk]

3. She just became hot again - nt

[MaineDem]

4. It could just be to sell books

She's a Bush after all. But I give her credit. She does seem to think for herself. A very good thing.

[Coexist]

5. Doubt it - isn't she engaged to an uber-republican?

[dancingme]

9. yes, she will become the perfect Republican wife

in the next decade.

[Doctor_J]

11. Yes, she's entering into a marriage arranged by Rove

so I am guessing her "free thinking" is mostly for show, though I hate to pigeon-hole her just because her parents are vile.

[LTR]

12. Yes, but spouses can differ

Hell, Schwarzenegger's wife is supporting Obama.

[nebula]

6. She'll fall back in line

after the Bushies have a little 'chat' with her.

[davidpdx]

7. Are we sure she didn't fall off the wagon again?

[spooky3]

8. I give her some credit for saying that on national TV. Maybe she's not such a bad kid.

[Skinner]

10. Good for Jenna.

:thumbsup:

[geiger]

15. yep.

[TooBigaTent]

13. You CANNOT believe anything a Bush says. This is obviously a ploy to appeal to

the large group of new, young people who are entering the political dogfights for the first time.

After "due consideration", this brainless twit will strongly (and with live coverage from Faux), announce that she has decided that the puke is actually the best choice.

Do not fall for rethug lies.

14. Think she's heard anti-McCain rhetoric around the house?

Or maybe the boyfriend's opinion?

[ronnykmarshall]

16. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this ..

I know we've all talked trash about Jenna, but I saw the piece Diane Swayer did with Jenna and I was actually impressed. She didn't come across as the snotty little brat that I thought she was.

Ironic, Julie Nixon is supporting Obama!

17. Kids do grow up

My step daughter was very spoiled by her mom and my husband and when she first went off to college partying and being thrown tons of bucks by everyone including step dad I was worried she would never grow up.

My girls were raised by me alone who always struggled paycheck to paycheck, so they both got jobs since they were 14 and now in late 20's both are very responsible.

But...2 yrs ago step dad divorced mom and they weren't married long enough for her to get anything so she is hurting financially and we are retired now so my husband can't give out to her like he used to...

So now she and boyfriend live off campus and actually work while going to school for first time and struggle to pay their bills. I think its good for her. and she is finally growing up and treating me nicer. She always saw me before as the one who got dad to give her less hundreds...

Maybe Jenna is growing up and we shouldn't judge her for what her dad does.

24. I'm almost not surprised by all of this

After seeing her travel with limited fanfare to third world countries and after writing her book, I became convinced that she didn't share her father's worldview. I've long suspected that she was a closet liberal, as I still suspect Nancy Reagan is.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. That's surprising, but I'm glad to hear it.

[MadBadger]

19. Ron Reagan Jr.

That's all you have to remember.

[Nedsdag]

20. Does anyone really care about what Jenna Bush has to say?

I sure as hell don't.

[newmajority]

21. Whatever happenned to the other Chimplette anyway?

They have been dragging Jenna out in front of the camera a lot lately, but her twin sister, Babs Jr. seems to have vanished into the ether.

Hope they didn't sacrifice her to Molech at that Bohemian Grove orgy thing.

25. Some people prefer a low profile, I guess

Just because she's laying low doesn't mean she's living under a bridge or anything. I imagine she doesn't like the limelight much, just as I suspect Barbara is using the limelight to draw attention to her pet issues and book writing.

[Barack_America]

23. I never thought her to possess a scrap of intelligence...

I'm pleasantly surprised...
