Did I see Jenna Bush Hagar on teevee as a commentator yesterday?
I was at the gym. I was not watching the teevee, but it was on. I can't say what channel. But I swear I saw her name on the crawl and her face on the screen ..... and she was working, not being interviewed.

Or did I dream that?

3. I dunno .... that's why I'm asking
I saw what I saw at a time when Today would have been on, so that's possible. But I am not sure what show was on.

10. Here we go:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32618067/

NBC's TODAY has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — Jenna Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush.

Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television's top-rated morning news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer.

Intrigued by television
The former first daughter said she has always wanted to be a teacher and a writer, and has already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into television when Bell contacted her.

13. Holy shit
She earned this, I'm sure. She cut her teeth in a lat of hard core news rooms with old buzzard editors. She had extraordinary marks in English and journalism, I'm sure.

Unbleevubull ......

11. She is supposed to be on the Today Show once a month
Her reports are supposed to be on education issues. She is still working full time as a teacher.

This really sucks, because she doesn't deserve this job at all. She has absolutely no experience appearing on news shows. Her Daddy obviously got her this job.

4. Probably so, I believe she took a TV job -
- if I remember correctly, she was to be working on the topic of education.

17. I honestly don't know which is more frightening
Jenna Bush as a network TV personality, or Jenna Bush as a teacher. :scared:

18. Yes, she is a correspondent on the Today Show. She interviewed the young actress
Edited on Sat Dec-12-09 12:34 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
that is in The Lovely Bones. She was supposed to be the education correspondent but it looks like they now have her on the teen beat.
