Bad Girl Jenna

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Jenna in Adams Morgan?
We'd like to welcome Americablog to the Jenna Bush beat. The more the merrier, as Jenna herself has been heard to say. The item reports on an alleged Jenna sighting at Zucchabar (meaningfully described in the WP as having "Cold War-era bomb shelter" decor), where she was "straddling and dry-humping her boyfriend (or acquaintance)" -- possibly this guy, possibly doing this. The First Best Friend with Benefits went on to defend his date's honor by rebuffing a would-be suitor with an unusually clever taunt: "Hey dude, are you trying to ask a Bush daughter to dance or something?!"

Some doubt remains as to whether this was actually Jenna -- she's ID'd by her necklace and "piglet eyes" -- and, to be honest, the "you asking a Bush daughter to dance" thing reminds us of the Republican National Convention party where a co-conspirator went around the room asking people "not to bother Wendy Bush, the Bush girls' cousin." Then again, the Bush family isn't exactly known for its subtlety.

Americablog sees this behavior as proof that Bush is Democrat. Isn't everyone a Democrat when they're drunk?

There's something about Jenna

1. Isn't it interesting that the twins have stayed out of the press

since the election?

Chelsea Clinton (who was much younger at the time) was fair game to the press when her dad was prez. But we give the McChimp twins a free ride.

Don't ya just love that LIBRUL media?

[SouthernDem2004]

3. What negative stuff was posted about Chelsea?

The OPs post is replusive.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Not posted here

The PRESS was all over her.

First we heard all about why she gets to go to an exclusive private school instead of a public school. And do you remember any media criticizing where the twins went to college?

And who can forget how mean Rush was to Chelsea? She was 14 or 15 years old and he was repulsively cruel to her.

[SouthernDem2004]

9. Dont listen to Rush and discussing schools is ALOT different then this

trash.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Yes it is

My point about the school is that this is when the press started in on Chelsea. As soon as her dad was sworn in, they criticized where she went to school. And they never let up. I can't believe you haven't heard about this before.

[rinsd]

61. You're kidding right?

You claimed the press hounded her forever....

But the school was more a jab at Bill and Hillary.

The dog crack was by asshat Rush Limbaugh.

The SNL skit was never shown again.

The US press had a very hands off approach when it came to Chelsea.

At least until she went to Oxford then the Brit tabs went nuts.

And if talking about what shcool she went to was "so awful" then how about the mass of threads here that have dissected, what the Twins wore to the ball, what they wear in public, are they sluts, are they drunks. Its a bunch of petty bullshit that frankly is or should be beneath us.

[Bucky]

18. The larger point isn't that they didn't. It's that we shouldn't

Some marginally ethical things I'm willing to do because
Republicans pushed or crossed that line first. Trashing
someone's daughter is not one of those things.

[Lindacooks]

43. Those daughters are now adults. And campaigned for their

pig of a father. They ARE fair game.

[artemisia1]

45. Thank you! My sentiments exactly. Even the mafioso of old considered

rival's children to be out of bounds. Let's take the high road. There's plenty enough on record to hammer the admin. on without going to the gutter.

[Bucky]

71. Ha! How wonderful! I immediately thought of the Mafia comparison too

"Republicans. Meaner than the Mafia."

How's that for a slogan?

[seabeyond]

49. mccain, you know why chelsea is so ugly

her parents hillary and janet reno

they were all over chelseas ass. and limbaugh is the extention of the republican party.

they trashed chelsea in many ways, that we never did to the children.

i am amazed at the republican lecturing on family values, but then lets look at our presidents children. george, reagan kids, bush twins.,.....and then there is chelsea that gave no one a lick of trouble

this is the problem sitting in judgement telling people how wrong and bad they are in parenting, ....... your parenting skills may be examined

[Toots]

59. They (the twins) are adult Republicans who believe in family values

This is just another example of their belief system as handed down by their father. Sometimes truth is hard to stomach.

[Ilsa]

34. Both on the radio and his shortlived tv show.

He was horribly nasty to her. A grown man having to make fun of a little girl in braces to get his ratings up.

[AuntPatsy]

35. Are you seriously asking that question? Were you asleep during

Clinton's years and even today? I wasn't even interested in politics at the time and I recall beging sickened by the way the media taunted that poor girl...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

41. Don't play the game

it will get you no where. Here's a link:

http://www.noseyonline.com/archives/000418not_quite_the_family_dog_eh_rush.php

All that aside, Limbaugh's recent remarks directed at two Sept. 11 widows veer so far off his worn propaganda path that they bypass his "insensitive and inappropriate" statements concerning Donovan McNabb and venture into the realm of another shameful moment in broadcast history -- when he lit into 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton in 1993. "Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?" Limbaugh said on TV, before holding up a picture of Chelsea.

[AuntPatsy]

44. It does get pretty exhausting, I don't usualy.

[rinsd]

62. Rush is an asshat.....

...but how is he representative of the press as a whole?

This is a discussion of the press hounding Chelsea justifying the hounding Jenna.

The press hounding I saw of Chelsea was by the Brit tabs when she went to Oxford.

[thinkingwoman]

the librul media didn't get anthraxed

when chelsea clinton was featured.

I'm just saying.

[rinsd]

60. Ahhh bullshit.....

The press left Chelsea alone for most of the Clinton presidency even during Lewinsky.

There were two major exceptions SNL did a skit when the Clintons first took office that many felt was meanspirited...they never showed it again.

And asshat Rush called her a dog.

What did happen later is when she went away to school(after Clinton left office) the Brit tabloids published as many BS pieces as they could of her; coming out of a bar, bad photos, kissing boys etc.

It was shitty when it happened to her and its shitty when it happens to Jenna.

On edit: I wanted to add that when I refer to the press, I mean the mainstream press. RW pundits are not press as far as I am concerned.

[SouthernDem2004]

2. This post is disgusting and should go.

Personal attacks on Bush's daughters are just plain wrong. Not to mention this is based on gossip. This kind of sick stuff should be left to republicans. Jenna's life is no ones business. She is not in an elected office and targeting the children of politicians is just slimy.

[Greeby]

4. Really? Then....

Tell it to the Repukes who spewed all that crap about Chelsea at a much younger age than these two

[SouthernDem2004]

8. I do not recall any such thing. Any links or proof?

Sorry, I do not visist Republican sites so I have never seen anything negative about Chelsea. Any links?

Also, Is this the face of DU you want?

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Rush compared Chelsea to a dog!!

Many of the RW pundits called her 'ugly' and 'dogface'. You honestly never heard that?

And FWIW, I agree, the children of the prez should be left alone. But my point is that the right did NOT leave Chelsea alone.

[SouthernDem2004]

11. Maybe not but I would hope we are above it. Guess not in some cases...

Not to mention this is just a vile rumor.

[devilgrrl]

20. McCain even made a rude joke about Chelsea.

or Janet Reno... either way, it's bollocks.

oh, poo poo the poor Bush twins. :eyes:

BTW, do those two dolts even have jobs yet?

[SouthernDem2004]

24. Last I heard here and in the press...

One was still teaching in DC and the other was voluntering in Africa somewhere.

[walldude]

28. LMAO... and you believed that?

That was the line when the elections were close. I know for sure the "teacher" is not teaching, don't know about the volunteer.

I also vividly remember Rush on his TV show talking about the White House Dog.. then holding up a picture of Chelsea. Then the next day they claimed it was a mistake and that Rush held up the wrong picture :eyes:

Mind you I don't advocate attacking the Bush twins, but I wouldn't put that kind of thing past the pugs...

[CatWoman]

55. I didn't know Marge Simpson posted on DU!!!

[Me.]

37. That Was A Particularly Vile Joke

McCain made at a big puke fundraiser. There were plenty of press there to hear it and they covered his a**, though it leaked out in the papers.

[proud2BlibKansan]

58. I don't think so

[progressivebydesign]

72. John McCain called Chelsea a dog, also. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

14. I heard Rush Limbaugh for YEARS say bad things about Chelsea...

... with my own 2 ears. Got any links to prove my ears deceived me? :)

[Cleita]

19. Really? They even did a number on her on SNL.

It was Howard Stern who spoke up and said that SNL was wrong to pick on a thirteen-year-old girl, particularly because they were picking on her looks. She was a gawky kid then and the press amongst others like the late night comedy shows lost no time in making fun of her appearance. Nothing was sacred, hair, braces, etc.

Believe me the media was incredibly cruel. I remember.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

21. Then look here.

I found this with a two minute search on Google. I'm sure I could find a dozen more hit pieces like this if I really wanted to.

http://www.nationalreview.com/derbyshire/derbyshire021501.shtml

You'll love this part.

Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past — I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble — recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an "enemy of the people". The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, "clan liability". In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished "to the ninth degree": that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed. (This sounds complicated, but in practice what usually happened was that a battalion of soldiers was sent to the offender's home town, where they killed everyone they could find, on the principle neca eos omnes, deus suos agnoscet — "let God sort 'em out".)

Is that clear enough for you?

This isn't some random anonymous poster on an internet message board. This is an opinion writer for the National Review using rhetoric that states Chelsea Clinton should be killed for being "an enemy of the state".
Even if he didn't "mean" it, it's still a thousand times more vile than almost anything that's been posted here on DU.

[Swamp Rat]

25. Thank you

Even an amateur gumshoe can learn to Google. :)

[artemisia1]

46. Two wrongs don't make a right. eom

[Goldmund]

65. Let them wallow in their shit.

Why do you want to wallow in the said shit just because they are?

[Tsiyu]

16. Jenna's life is no one's business

Just like MY life is no Repuke's business, and yet some of them want to tell me where, when, how, with whom and why to have sex.

They want to control the herbs I take, the drugs I take, the drugs my doctor prescribes, what happens in and around my uterus, and what god I believe in. They want to monitor my phone calls, my e-mails, the books I check out of the library, my bank account.

If they want that much control over ME, they'd better expect the same scrutiny. We should examine every crack and crevice of the * twins, remove every shred of their privacy and dignity, just as they have removed these from the American public at large.

Every girl's uterus is YOUR uterus now, if you're a male, so examine that girl for unhealthy sexual proclivities and use of birth control and all the rest. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for her.

[lonestarnot]

17. wawa wa

:cry:

[SouthernDem2004]

23. Inciteful and intelligent! Please share more wisdom! /nt

[lonestarnot]

26. No insight necessary when it comes to a bushitler of any make or model

apples don't fall far from the tree.:boring:

[Swamp Rat]

27. I heard Rush call Chelsea, live on the radio, a "dog."

I listened to Rush throughout the Clinton presidency. On numerous occasions he made disgusting remarks about Chelsea.

To argue this now is to admit that:

1. I never listened to Rush Limbaugh
2. I am lying out my ass.

(I'm not insinuating that you are in the second category, in this limited dichotomy) :)

edit:

[SouthernDem2004]

30. Insinuate what you like...

I do not listen to Rush. I have in the past but only a few times. His shows for the most part are repetitive. Its the same thing over and over. Its obvious what his position is going to be on a topic even before he opens his mouth. I see no reason to support him by listening to his whining...

[Swamp Rat]

31. I'm GLAD you don't support that piece of lizard poo.

I just want to point out, again, that I heard him call Chelsea a "dog." Nothing ever happened to Rush as a consequence, save for an SNL skit.

Why isn't that money-laundering dope head in prison? :shrug:

[SouthernDem2004]

48. Pfffft. Baseless personal attack. Sad one at that. Here is my

usual reply to such nonsense posts. Give me one example of any post that I support Rush or any Republican for that matter. Although I do support some locally but that is another matter. Heck, give me one other post where I mention Rush at all other then on this thread.

So, what we have is a drive-by snipe that you fail to backup. Another pointless worthless attack that is fairly common when some people do not agree with others. Blah blah blah... Enjoy you hate and intolerance.

Bye Bye

[rinsd]

73. Wasn't the odious "dog " skit part of his short lived TV show? (nt)

[Jon8503]

29. Hey if she wants to go out and get drunk and rude to others she

is asking for publicity. Besides, this is the same crap about being nice to a group that attacks, attacks and more attacks.

Rove on the Plame affair, "his wife is fair game".

Who was it or what Right Wing Group was it on Chelsea that even made the insinuation that if something happened to her it would be good because she would grow up to be a Clinton.

I can't feel sorry for Jenna.

[earth mom]

36. Are you kidding?

The * twins display bad behavior regularly and everyone is to pretend it doesn't matter while their daddy pushes all kinds of crappy bullshit so called "morals" on the rest of the country to the point that people are getting totally paranoid if not afraid about it?!

You can NOT be serious. Now really. :eyes:

The time for fighting fair is over. Those brats are getting what they deserve.

[rinsd]

67. "bad behavior regularly"

As defined by DU that seems to be drinking (even now when she is of age), hanging with boys, not dressing appropriately at major events...

When the fuck did we become such prudes?

[earth mom]

68. The prudes are in the WH judging everyone else EXCEPT

their own daughters and themselves.

Talk about hypocrites. :eyes:

Turn about is fair play.

[rinsd]

70. So to prove hypocrisy, you will act like a hypocrite? (nt)

[noiretextatique]

69. good question

they are public personalities, and unfortunately, their behavior is news. especially considering who their father is, and the bullshit about "family values" he and his party spout constantly.

[smbolisnch]

39. Completely agree.

The twins lives are just that - their lives. It is tacky and juvenile to attack them, and spreading rumors is just plain wrong.

Whether or not the right attacked Chelsea, two wrongs don't make a right. Leave the twins alone.

[Pirate Smile]

64. I agree.

[burythehatchet]

66. All of your posts on this thread are disguisting and should be deleted

To try and compare what pukes do to our kids and our making fun of another fucking drunken Bush is an asinine position to consider.

[HockeyMom]

5. She is what 23?

Out of college. Why isn't she doing her womanly Christian duty by getting married, becoming a housewife, and making lots of babies?

:sarcasm:

[unschooler]

6. I don't personally care what Jenna does on the weekends, except

to the extent that it belies the "Christian family" routine put out by ShrubCo. I think we ought to pretty much leave politicans' family members alone.

[Bucky]

12. Thank you. Family members should be off limits.

Thank god my dad wasn't president when I was 23.

[wli]

13. I like the rumors about Bushler's daughters being anti-Bush

Dulce et decorum.

[Redstone]

22. What the HELL are you babbling about?

Your link didn't provide any clues as to whatever it is you're trying to tell us.

Redstone

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Are you speaking to me? OP

[Redstone]

38. Yes, I am. Your post was pretty much gibberish, and

the link only produced a site full of more gibberish.

I'm just asking for clarification on whatever it is that you're trying to tell us, because it doesn't make any sense to me.

Redstone

[Catherine Vincent]

40. I always got the impression that Wonkette is a lot of gibberish too.

But she's good though.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. After reading what you describe as gibberish, (Wonkette is written

in a conversational style for a clique of DC insiders)it made me think that this perfect "Christian" family was not acting like the stereotypical perfect "Christian" family. It made me wonder, maybe the whole B** persona of being "saved" was a big scam.

[Redstone]

56. Aha. Thank you for the clarification. Now I get what

you were trying to say.

Redstone

[B Calm]

47. I don't understand why the girls are not in the military fighting in Iraq!

[sexybomber]

51. Gr!

She needs to come to New York, get humped by me, and the pictures need to be sent to her dad with the following note:

"You f***ed the country, and in retaliaion, I've done the same thing to your daughter! Burn in hell, scumbag!"

[smbolisnch]

52. "and in retaliaion, I've done the same thing to your daughter!

:puke: Nice....

[sexybomber]

53. well hey...

I don't think she's bad looking. After all, I don't think we'd be knocking her as much if she were a flaming liberal...

It'd be mostly to f*** with *, to be homest.

[smbolisnch]

54. And neither do I. I think your comment was obnoxious, misogynistic crap.

:hi:

[Bunny]

57. Yep, I'll agree with you on that one!

[Dora]

63. Yes, and yes

obnoxious and misogynistic.

Some will never learn.
