Is it in poor taste for DUers to make fun of Jenna Bush?

[Hugabear]

Sure, her father is the worst president in US history, a war criminal, and a butcherer of the English language. And yes, his daughters have had their share of missteps as well. But something in me finds it somewhat difficult to be too harsh on them. After all, you can't help who your parents are. And hell, how many of us didn't fuck up every now and then when we were her age? I thought it was refreshing to hear her say on LKL that she wouldn't necessarily vote for someone just because they're a republican.

I know we didn't like it when repukes took cheap shots at Chelsea Clinton simply because they didn't like her parents.

[Waya]

1. NO..............

[CBGLuthier]

2. Yes it is

Until and if she endorses McCain.

[Hugabear]

4. Once they enter the political world, they're fair game IMHO

And if she starts endorsing repukes and advocating neo-con policies, then she's no longer just a president's daughter, she's a political figure herself.

[Warpy]

8. Exactly, but she's withheld her endorsement of McSame

and until and unless she starts campaigning for him, she's pretty much off limits, at least to me.

[LSparkle]

3. I thought her response on King was candid ... I believed her

Yeah, she's a fucking Bush but she at least sounded like she
speaks her own mind, unlike her mother who's a total Stepford
Wife. I actually have a bit more respect for JennaNTonic after
seeing her on LKL.

[Shoelace]

5. you've got a good point

she can't help who her daddy is. :shrug:

[Saturday]

6. You're concerned about making fun of Jenna Bush?

I'm concerned about making fun of our primary candidates.

[Cant trust em]

7. She's been doing poverty work in South America

I can respect that.

22. When not checking out the family's hiding place in Paraguay

[notfullofit]

39. Good girl! nt

[Lobster Martini]

9. I wouldn't do it...

I will write horrible, evil, unforgivable things about some other Bushes--happily, and I will send copies to everyone I know--but I will leave the other shrubs uncut.

[WCGreen]

10. What happened to the latino looking Bush gen X'er...

He was going so strong, they were talking about him running for office in FLA.

What ever happened to him?

[Hugabear]

11. Not quite sure who that is

I'm in Florida, and I haven't heard of any Shrubs like that.

[WCGreen]

15. The kid that spoke Spanish to the GOP convention in 2000...

[AlCzervik]

16. i think that was Jeb's kid....no? George P.?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Jeb's boy, George Prescott Bush. He's being groomed. No doubt in my mind about that.

[WCGreen]

19. Didn't he get in trouble for stalking some coed?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. I think if that happened, it would have mentioned on DU, and I don't have a clue about it.

[caledesi]

27. He was drunk when he drove his car into his ex-girlfriend's house.

Am in Tampa. He is toast.

[WCGreen]

28. Burnt toast.

[AlCzervik]

24. i think that was other son, the one they don't talk about.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. I just did a quick search and couldn't link him to anything like that. He is married btw.

They had a big Kennebunkport wedding for him.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. Found it! 1994

1) George P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. So TSG wasn't too surprised to learn that "P" was involved in a troubling 1994 incident described in this Metro-Dade Police Department report. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman's bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex's father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges. (3 pages)

35. You mean "Pee"?

Pee is "working" on his resume.

12. They are all guity of benefitting from the BFEE. The spawn of the rich are just

as guilty unless they actively fight against their parents. Cut the )%!& no slack.

[mitchum]

41. I am in absolute agreement with you

[Blaze Diem]

13. Why not? We make fun of everyone else..Read GD Primaries lately?

Hateful nasty vengeful, to our own. While McSame is barely touched.
With dems like this bunch who needs the GOP hacks to beat up our Dem candidates and lose the election for us..Enough hate within our own party to take ourselves down.

----------
Why isn't Jenna fairplay, positive or negative. She's an adult.

[Zodiak]

14. I never pick on the Bush kids

That is poor taste.

I had a weak moment with the Santorum concession speech, but I have since mended my ways.

[XOKCowboy]

17. Don't ya have to pity the Bush daughters? Look at their parents and grandparents

Children only know what they are taught. Can you imagine having Babs as a grandma? Isn't that a horrible thought? You're Dad's a dry drunk and it's possible that your mother is also. You've only known insulated luxury and security all of your life.

I say have pity on the girls. They never had a chance.

[Lerkfish]

20. she's unimportant to me either way.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Yes, she is an adult and a proven idiot

[Fumesucker]

25. She didn't even WANT her father to be president..

I say it is just as tasteless to make fun of Jenna Bush as it was Chelsea Clinton before she became involved in politics.

[jazzjunkysue]

33. She didn't? I like her, already. She thinks like I do.

(snerk)

[Fumesucker]

44. The Bush twins just wanted to be teens/young adults..

They didn't want to live in the political fishbowl that the child of POTUS lives in..

Neither one of them wanted their dad to be POTUS.

[Fuzz]

26. They STILL take cheap shots at Chelsea by the way.

[jazzjunkysue]

34. Bill really should have thought of his family and kept his pants zipped.

It's not like he didn't know the GOP was always out to get him. The white house is so full of staff, it was really the height of stupid to screw around with an intern there.

So, Chelsea has to live with that the rest of her life. He should have thought of the implications.

[ColbertWatcher]

30. No, however...

...if one feels one must poke fun at the adult Jenna, please add your ideas here.

Thank you.

BTW, Chelsea was a minor when the GOP went after her; Jenna is an adult.

[Gato Moteado]

31. a year ago i would have said no.....

...but i'm getting the feeling that she might be a closet dem.

[katty]

36. she's an adult - often whacked in public domain: fair game

[treestar]

37. Yes, but it's taking the high road to leave her alone

When you look at what McSame said about Chelsea, it's hard not to get cynical, and think "they deserve what they dish out."

[BeHereNow]

38. Well, no, it is not...

She is, after all, a member of the BFEE.
The most evil family to ever walk the planet.

BHN

[mitchum]

40. About what? Her vapidity? Her privileged life? Her big round head?

Fuck that whole goddamn family

[Stinky The Clown]

42. DU is worried about 'good taste'??? The same DU that has that sewer, GDP? That DU?

Clearly the 'good taste' standards are very low.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

43. sorry, the minute druggie rush held the picture of Chelsea up on national

tv and said what he said, when she was, what, maybe 13, the game changed for me. It might have been different if there was some outcry or repercussions, but as far as i remember, the repuke minions just laughed along.
