WASHINGTON -- President Bush's twin daughters may take part in their father's re-election bid after they graduate from college this spring, first lady Laura Bush said Thursday.

Mrs. Bush told CNN that her 22-year-old daughters, Jenna and Barbara, are contemplating a role in what may be their father's last campaign.

"They are terrific girls they are getting ready to graduate from college and we'll see when they graduate," Mrs. Bush said. "You know, this will be really their first campaign that their dad has run that they are really old enough to be involved."



W must be really getting desperate if he's dragging out the twins to shore up the vote? I'm sure his campaign could use some livening up and they say these girls really know how to party?

1. Here's a way to appeal to the male vote

It involves nudity. Viola! I'm a regalar Karl Rove!

[LiberalFighter]

31. Do you mean ala Janet Jackson??

[madmax]

2. Will the twins be campaigning bar to bar?

:spank:

[LiberalFighter]

32. Will they need help getting off the floor?

[Goldom]

3. "first campaign..."

Wait a minute.. they weren't old enough 4 years ago? That's 18... funny, somehow -I- manage to be involved in politics... oh wait, I wasn't getting arrested for drugs while my dad was in the white house.. righhttt...

[EllieDem]

20. Drugs?? I think you're thinking of Noelle Bush

or Al Gore III

[PaDUer]

22. Al Gore's daughter

did NOT get arrested for drugs...these twins can't come near his daughter..

[EllieDem]

25. Did I say Al Gore's daughter?

I said Al Gore III who got caught last month for pot possession. Learn to read

[PaDUer]

28. The discussion was about

daughters...keep your thoughts on what's being discussed..I didn't read anything in this thread about the SONS.

[kskiska]

4. Wouldn't that make them "fair game"

for reporters? Their emerging from the shadows would open them up to intense scrutiny.

[alittlelark]

14. It sure would

I don't think that 'emerging' is a good idea for these two. Once you're under the spotlight you stay there - even if you're under a bar table.

[Lindacooks]

5. 18 isn't old enough to be involved in politics?

What, didn't they vote?

I think it's very weird that the Bush twins are hardly ever seen with their parents. They weren't even on the chimp's Christmas card! How many kids still in college are left off Christmas cards?? There's something very wrong there.

[emc]

10. Old enough for the service

Why don't they go in the service..Army---Marines ......Maybe they even take on a dangerous job like flying for the Texas Nations Guard---probably would go to the head of the class with the write recommendations---
You never can tell---------

[0rganism]

17. Hey, now that you mention it, they could put on a helluva USO show

"Are you men ready to see some BUSH?"

*snort*

[PaDUer]

18. What the hell!!....Pickles disappointed about Janet??

"Mrs. Bush also said she was disappointed in CBS' telecast of Janet Jackson's breast exposure during the Super Bowl halftime show last weekend."

WELL...what did she think at one of the inaugural balls when Jenna's strapless gown came down exposing her breast and her idiot husband stood there laughing? Guess he thought it was cute..Tells plenty about his morals and where his mind was=incest?-Please, tells Pickles to put a sock in it because we're NOT interested in her BS lies either!! She KNOWS damn well that Jenna doesn't give a rats ass about his reSelection! They haven't spent much time with their daughters since they took over the WH..ALSO, what kind of first family are they when they didn't include their daughters on the christmas card either...Please, this hillbilly family can pack this shit now because they're getting out quick, and the federal prison will be their new home!

[LiberalFighter]

34. Why? Because it wasn't her own exposed?...

And finally people giving her recognition that she is alive?

[vanityfair]

47. I wondered about the twins

not being part of any family appearances. So much for * and his "family values" shit. It always struck me as weird that they rarely appear as a family.

I guess they're a fine example of a "dysfunctional" family though.

[LiberalFighter]

33. If it means no more BUSH

[burrowowl]

40. I don't think I would want

them guarding my back.

Welcome to DU emc!

[MercutioATC]

6. I thought that at least one of them was rather liberal...

...and didn't support her father's politics. Viscious rumor?

[Exultant Democracy]

44. Both of them are liberal and neither support their dads

politics, at least in private. If they did go out nd really campaign for them I would be very disappointed.

[Jacobin]

7. ooooooo, this should be rich

Paging Larry Flynt with the X-rated video of one of these bimbos.

[PaDUer]

12. Oh ya...

fair play...time to take off all stops...let everything in the open...Ya, these gals know how to party..won't daddy be proud!

[gater]

13. Now, Now

...it's not their fault their father missed half a rung on Darwin's ladder. Seriously, I really do not think that the kids should be ranked on, especially when it's like shooting fish in a barrel. The comedy act from Crawford writes itself!

[NWHarkness]

24. If they campaign, they are fair game

But, they are Bushs so I don't expect the media to hold them responsible for any bad behavior.

[EllieDem]

26. I agree. Dean fans hardly have room to make fun

or Al Gore supporters. Their sons are far worse than the Bush girls.

[Cocoa]

8. they should have a "The Simple Life" theme

show up in small towns and live the life of the locals.

[LiberalFighter]

35. Best place for them to be kept.

Paris Hilton and the bush girls probably have a lot in common

[lastknowngood]

9. Better keep them away from the booze

the beer bottle dosn't fall far from the keg.

[Terwilliger]

11. Maybe Jenna and Barbara will pull a Britney and Madonna

:shrug:

Or, I guess they could get Cheney's daughter on stage for a menage a trois.

[kskiska]

15. I wonder what they'll wear?

They traveled to Europe in tattered jeans. Jenna went to court with a bare midriff and a toe ring. This should be interesting. Maybe Karen Hughes will dress them in some of Tricia and Julie's castoffs.

[gauguin57]

39. tricia and julie's castoffs?

bwaaaa haaaaa ... omg, I'm laughing so hard I have white chocolate latte coming out my nose!

The thought of these two obnoxious, boozy little brats having ANY similarity to the prim-&-proper Nixon girls just makes me bust a gut! The twins would look like they were going to a COSTUME party!

I sure hope the campaign trail isn't a straight line. Babs Jr. and Jenna Jr. might have a wee bit of a problem there.

[PaDUer]

16. Notice this is from Pickles....

you can bet your ass that she's telling those twins they're doing it whether they like it or not...Oh, let the fun times roll!!

[LiberalFighter]

36. Not smart of Pickles...

If those girls are strong minded they will do anything and everything to get out of it no matter how embarrassing.

[aquart]

19. Anyone think it was the twins' idea?

[EllieDem]

23. Maybe Deans son can get up and join them

for some breaking and entering and stealing liquor at the country club. Eh?

[alittlelark]

42. I don't - I'd call it a desperate campagne ploy

by their evil daddy - whose #'s aren't lookin' so great

[NastyRiffraff]

21. Bush must be getting desperate

I agree with someone who said that kids shouldn't be in the spotlight, except in this case, those girls aren't kids. Still, if they stay in the background, they should be off limits no matter how old they are.

However, if they're campaigning, all bets are off. I still feel a bit sorry for them...I'd bet this wasn't their idea. Shows what kind of parents they have.

[Zero Gravitas]

27. Bring 'em on

with any luck they'll get caught doing something stupid.

[0007]

29. Give'm a shot of Janet's action

[4morewars]

30. ya can almost count on it...

if the faminly history of doing something stupid is any indication.

[leesa]

37. Somehow I don't think this will be helpful for Bush

They only underline the families ignorance and ill-breeding. I suppose they'll have to pretend to be Christians too.

[flamingyouth]

38. Must refrain from making cruel remark...

:argh: The pull is almost too great.

[ConcernedCanuk]

41. Heck, maybe they can buy out the website made in their "honor"

.
.




And this proves they are "pals"

[Lostmessage]

43. Who will be sponsoring their trip across the states Myers Rum?

Family Values LOL

[gatlingforme]

45. PARTY ON --- I hope so, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb for BUSH

[davidinalameda]

46. this has to be a joke

this is just way too funny

maybe this is an attempt to get the drunken 18 year old vote

[goclark]

49. Could they Pose?

Did you ever think that they may not have been able to pose for the Christmas Card? The Bobsy Twins could have been at the Photo Session but the camera did not pan down to the floor.
That would really show us their family values!
Dad on the couch eating a pretzel. Pickle face looking like plastic and hiding her cigarette and the WH version of Paris and Richie spread out on the floor with an illegal driver's license and a bottle of rum between them.

LOL -- I can't wait to see the twins on the campaign trail!

[Lostmessage]

50. Don't forget

The dress up around the neck like in the Enquirer photo.

[loudnclear]

48. If they play a public role, they are fair game for public scruitny and

criticism. Chelsea, they are not.
