Jenna Bush Is Pregnant and Engaged To Henry Hager

[Hepburn]

Jenna Bush Pregnant - Jenna Bush, one of President and Laura Bush's twin daughters, has become impregnated and engaged to long-time boyfriend Henry Hager.

The pregnancy speculation began when these shocking photos of a muumuu-clad Jenna and puppet star "Elmo" appeared two months ago. No date or place has been set for the wedding.

So, how are the "family values" Bushies gonna spin this? Personally? I could not care less if spawn of Bush had 10 kids out of wedlock. However, with the attitudes of the up-tight RWs about things like this, I have to sit back and mega smile.

[SoCalDem]

1. Even if she is, it's no biggie for me.. She's 25 years old.

It's a stupid thing to do, but hey.. she's not 16 and in high school.

She's never struck me as a hypocrite about those things, so if she's pregnant, it's not at all shocking to me..

[Hepburn]

2. I totally agree....

....but then people who post on the DU tend to think like that.

However, the up tight family values RW do not. Should be interesting to see how Laura and Monkey Boy spin this.

[Clark2008]

4. Well, they have been dating for two years and 25 is no

child - it may not be all that stupid. Two years is a fair enough time to date before marriage (and I say this as someone who married her husband after six MONTHS of dating. LOL).

[SoCalDem]

11. careless is closer.. If she is pregnant, and if they planned on getting married

anyway, why not prevent pegnancy until after the marriage:)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. You waited six months?

I waited two weeks, tops :)

Still very happily married,too!

[Truthy Nessy]

43. I met my love and 24 days was married.

We decided to marry 3 days after we met. He died 2 months short of our 33rd anniversary of cancer. He was truly my soul mate. We eloped and married in High Point North Carolina. We met because his car broke down in NJ. Last July 27th would have been our 39th wedding anniverary.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

70. What a sweet story!

I understand exactly what you said. Thanks for sharing it, and welcome to DU! :hi:

[liberal N proud]

6. The only thing is it plays into the bu$h and right wing hypocrisy of abstinence

Other than that bull shit, it makes no difference.
She is a party animal just like daddy and I am just surprised it didn't happen before now.

[Submariner]

23. Sister Perpetual Agony told us NO SEX outside the bonds of Holy

Matrimony, or hair would grow on our hand, the baby from pre-marital sex would be deformed, and you could burn in hell for eternity with SATAN!

That's what I was told, and I'm stickin' to it.

Jenna is a SINNER!!

[enid602]

55. Or better yet . . .

Jenna is a sinna'

[Bitwit1234]

28. As wild as she was I suppose that was the next thing

With the way people are open minded today, this is no big deal. But being the daughter of the ""president"" she should have more control. After all this good Christian president, who won't approve condoms, who say abstinence only is the way to go, did she get pregnant, if she is, to deliberately embarrass him.

[Joe Bacon]

37. I guess Jenna didn't follow this advice...

But, I'm sure Pat Robertson will forgive her...

71. When I was her age, I was sent to Viet Nam.

Just sayin'. :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

77. You want to send a possibly pregnant princess to war?

you are hardcore :evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

80. Why not? It's not a disability.

:shrug:

There're thousands and thousands of pregnant women in Iraq.

Some even manage to survive the occupation.

[thunder rising]

3. Henry Hager drafted to serve.

Henry taking one for the Gipper.

[formercia]

5. This is a great opportunity for Jenna that she shouldn't pass up.

Jenna should remain a single mom and live on welfare to see how the other 99% live, then she could write a book about it.

Call it: Knocked up like me and living on the Dole.

She would sell a Million copies to all of her wealthy admirers.

[Cassandra]

10. " Knocked up like me and living on the Dole"

I guess Viagra works pretty well. ;-)

[Thothmes]

27. Single mom

Sorry I don't see this as desirable. IMO that this is not a situation that I would wish anyone into. Doubt that 99% are single moms on welfare.

[blondeatlast]

34. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I've known women in that dilemma. nt

[Solly Mack]

7. so..when will George Walker Bush Hager be born?

[n2doc]

25. aka Damien Satan Beelelbub Bush-Hagar? n/t

[Virginia Dare]

56. I just lost my cheerios...

:puke:

[Solly Mack]

59. it is a sickening thought

[Mend]

8. do we have a world-wide televised white house wedding with her in a

maternity moo-moo? Laura will be in her usual library drapes. Franks and beans on paper plates. Or will they hold the ceremony down at the pig farm? We wait in breathless anticipation.

[Jacobin]

9. Her purity ring must have corroded from the rum

[PCIntern]

12. Fare for the Reception:

you can have a hamburger...OR a hot dog. Your choice. There's some baked beans too. And blueberry pie.

[youthere]

52. What..no canned pudding? You can pick it up at Sam's for like $3.99!

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Yep - I noticed that in the news a few months ago and wondered why no

one picked up on it. It certainly doesn't bother me - her pregnancy - since that is how my wife and I (26 plus glorious years and 2 wonderful kids) got started. But it is about the hypocrisy of the right - damning people for things that they shouldn't do - until it is they who do it. Makes me sick and makes me want to throw it in their faces at every opportunity.

It's the hypocrisy, stupid!

[mwb970]

22. They force "abstinence" on us but don't practice it themselves.

Is it OK with the "abstinence only" crowd that the daughter of our Great Republican Leader is a sinner? If they don't care, then what exactly IS their complaint?

[muchacho]

14. darkness approaches

I vacuous but connected woman and a Rove minion wedding to boost polls...this is our dark future.

[JimboDem]

15. Hmmm

Rovian prophecy 666.

[blueknight]

16. i often wonder

how many abortions the twins have had?

[deminks]

17. Preggers? How could that have happened? Will the Cristo fascists

say it is an immaculate conception? the second coming? She couldn't have had extramarital or premarital or perimarital sex? I thought abstinence worked?


Gives new meaning to the word "spawn" doesn't it?

[Mend]

69. since she is a Christian Virgin, there is only one other explanation, ummm

the dog ate her homework?

[KharmaTrain]

18. Yawn...Who Cares...Yawn Again...

So a 25 year old rich kid is getting married? Big deal. Congrats to the couple and good luck to the lucky "bastard" who now has the "pleasure" of dealing with this dysfunctional family.

I've long sworn off any comments about the Anheiser Bush twins (how they were conceived)...just as I found it offensive when wingnuts took shots at Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter.

Even if she's preggers...again, who cares. I thought people here respected both privacy rights and sexual freedom/choice. There's plenty of other shit to pound this regime on, leave these kids with the "legacy" Jenna's decrepid father will leave that she'll have to endure, like a ball and chain, for the rest of her life.

[izzie]

19. Who cares? We all know Presidents children are knownothings

I think the Adams were the last family that had any one that knew any thing. I do not like family business in the WH as it has turned out so bad with the guy we have now.

[Mend]

31. they apparently know nothing about condoms.

[LTR]

20. Does this mean Dick Cheney will be holding the shotgun at the wedding?

:evilgrin:

[Lint Head]

24. I've never seen pregnant fascists marry.

Only in A-mur-ka. :dem:

[HockeyMom]

26. Freepers will say

At least she is doing the right thing by not aborting it and marrying the father.

They have an answer for everything when it comes to their own.

[Mend]

30. they couldn't risk an abortion...oh the blackmail potential from the video.

[tanyev]

41. Prevailing sentiment I've seen over there so far is that most of them are disappointed

that they never got to have their fantasy night with Jenna. Apparently Miss Jenna never mastered the art of magically materializing into the basement lairs of underachieving men who still live with their parents and aren't fit enough to fight in the war they so rabidly support.

[shaniqua6392]

29. She will give birth prematurely....

to an 8 lb. baby??

[Hepburn]

67. Yep.....

....Just like Nancy Reagan did. That is my bet on the spin that is gonna be done.

[screembloodymurder]

It was Rove.

The anti-christ has been conceived.

33. If there was ever a good argument for abortion....

....

[qdemn7]

35. So what??

The twins have never, to me knowledge, engaged in any sort of campaigning for their father, or any political issue. So I cut them plenty of slack. At least they're getting married.

[FredScuttle]

42. Picture from the Bush twins' prime-time appearance at the 2004 RNC

Here's the video from their wince-inducing speech
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushtwins/v/bushtwinsvideo.htm

No slack for the wicked!

[qdemn7]

44. Oh well...

That didn't take long. :)

[FredScuttle]

73. Sorry I had to call you out

but it had to be done.

[qdemn7]

78. Hey, if that

Is the worst thing that happens today, today will be a great day. :toast:

[mondo joe]

50. Never campaigned for their father??? Hoew did you fail to notice them at the RNC????

Of course they've campaigned for him - that's why they get no slack.

[qdemn7]

62. Simple really.

I didn't watch the RNC. Duh! That'll teach me! :eyes:

[mondo joe]

81. Didn't catch the news or DU either, huh?

Funny how there are so many ways to know what goes on.

[Virginia Dare]

61. Yes, they both worked for their dad's re-election campaign..

they had an office in Arlington. I'm not sure how much "work" they did, and it was mostly a reactionary thing to Vanessa Kerry's heavy involvement in her father's campaign in wooing young people.

[The Backlash Cometh]

36. I wonder if the Zonian lifestyle did her in?

[LeftishBrit]

38. Let's hope that the Hagers have good genes!

Poor little thing will need them.

[Mend]

40. the groom worked for kkkkarl rove, so he got the psychopathic gene

for sure.

[book_worm]

39. will won't they have to rush the wedding if she really is pregnant?

Somehow I don't take this story as authorative.

[iamahaingttta]

45. Um... she's not pregnant...

...just fat.

This thread started from a piece by a gossip columnist, who looked at a half dozen pictures of the girl and decided it would be fun to say she's pregnant.

The young lady is just getting fat. She's built like her grandmother, and will end up looking like her too. C'mon, leave the kid alone!

[Wiregrass Willie]

46. What a terrible thing to say about our leaders daughter

Such a thought would never occur to me. I naturally assumed her 30 pound weight gain was simply due to cocaine abuse. But to gain 30 Lbs, the dear child must be snorting it up both ends. Obviously the sweet girl inherited her father's nose. And then some.

I bet Hager is hoping she didn't inherit her mother's (Skid-mark Laura) propensity to kill her boy friends.

[Beausoir]

47. A rather dubious source. This is silliness.

But Wonkette has some absolutely hilarious comments on the whole subject.}(

[librechik]

48. Hey, kids! "Abstinenece Only" WORKS

If you're the president's daughter.

Now those welfare queens in New Orleans tho. They had better ABSTAIN

what hypocritical assholes rule us.

[Bluebear]

51. Silver ring thing! :)

http://www.silverringthing.com/faq.asp#Answer5

[Ilsa]

49. Oh the humanity! If the innocents can be corrupted by such a morally

stagnant and putrid society, we are doomed! Quick -- let's make * president for life! We need moral leadership to bring us out of this quagmire of free sex!
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I've decided not to give a rat's ass about the whole thing. As long as the press doesn't try to turn them into some kind of royalty over a marriage and civil legal document, then why should I care?

[Philosoraptor]

53. At least she's not a lesbian mommy like dick's daughter! (sarc.)

[slampoet]

68. I prefer to use the GOP term for lesbian mommy, that would be Single Parent.

[mac56]

54. Do I even have to say it?! Do I?!

Imagine if this were Chelsea.

Holy god. Faux News would be parachuting into the parking lot.

[Totally Committed]

75. They'd have broken into her doctor's office, and her whole file

would be on the internet in hours.

I can't wait to see how the Family Values Party spins this one. ("At least she kept her baby!... The couple has a reverence for life."... or something like that, I'll bet.)

TC

[Stephanie]

57. How's that whole *abstinence* policy working out for you, George?

How's that whole "honor and dignity to the White House" thing going?

[tammywammy]

58. I don't think she's pregnant

And I find it offensive all these people calling her fat as well.

Those type of tops are actually in style. I have something similar to the turquoise tank top she's wearing in one of the pictures.

[joeunderdog]

60. Keep the kid away from GRANDPA!

He's an asshole and a poor role model.

And while he has a bad track record on defending attacks on the WTC, he can read a helluva goat book.

[brainshrub]

63. She obviously didn't attend any of those "abstinence only" classes.

Is there any aspect of the Bush family that isn't mired in hypocrisy?

[Gruenemann]

64. Not pregnancy. That's a BEER BELLY! n/t

[losthills]

65. Check the baby's forehead

for the "mark of the beast..."

[kenny blankenship]

66. She's NOT pregnant. That's no baby under her mumu, that's her *liver*.

[TahitiNut]

72. Pate de fois jenna?

:puke:

[NeedleCast]

74. DU

Claims to hate tabloid news about celebrities.

Loves tabloid news about Bush daughters.

[Hepburn]

79. LOL....

....I always LOVE gossip! At my age, that is about all I sitll have about which to get excited!

[Nimrod2005]

76. Fucking HYPOCRITES!!! May God punish ALL Hypocrites!!!
