Bush's latest headache: his twins
<snip>
America's first family has its share of parenting headaches with George Bush's twin daughters acting out their resentment at his chosen career with underage drinking binges and other escapades, excerpts from a new book published yesterday said.

Mr Bush's twins, Jenna and Barbara, now 22 and in their final year of college, are described as over-indulged with no interest in the presidency in The Perfect Wife: The Life and Choices of Laura Bush by Ann Gerhart, a Washington Post journalist.

"They are girls born rich, blessed with intelligence, good looks, trust funds, loving parents, boundless opportunities, freedom from many of life's daily vexing challenges," the book says. "Yet they persist in seeing themselves as victims of daddy's job."

The book says both Bushes fell into the trap of spoiling their children because Mrs Bush nearly lost them late in her pregnancy. It suggests that Mr Bush seemed less indulgent than their mother.

1. Good
As long as they stay out of politics, I have no problem with either of them.

2. "Yet they persist in seeing themselves as victims of daddy's job"
Why can't I bring up any sympathy?
At least they weren't called a dog on national television.

7. Rush had a TV show some years ago and held up a pic of Chelsea
and referred to her as "The White House Dog".
Fucking Pig!

21. And that, more so than even his repugnant views ...
is why I will NEVER cut him any slack. He can't even deny the incident because the tape still exists and I have seen it. Sympathy for him as a result of his addiction? Fuck him! I hope he overdoses and dies an agonizing death while wallowing in a puddle of his own puke.

9. The media was shameless in its attack on poor Chelsea Clinton.
Poor girl, you'd think with the current first lushes they'd be having a field day. Oh, well, must be that damn LIEberal media again.

19. The Enquirer taught them to be kind to the Bush daughters
The National Enquirer ran a story on Jenna and Barbara's hard-boozing ways in the days before September 11. IIRC it was the centerspread and there was a huge photo of Jenna rolling around on the floor with another woman, cigarette in Jenna's hand.

Then the anthrax terrorist hit and wouldn't you know it? The National Enquirer's publishing house got an envelope of that shit. (Which should tell you that Bush is up to his ass in the anthrax thing.)

There is no way any media outlet is going to say anything even slightly critical of the Bush daughters.

10. That's what Chelsea Clinton
was called by Rush(?) or one of the right wingers. No pity for these two. They should be in Iraq. It's their daddy's war. Aren't they patriotic?

11. How is it that Chelsea Clinton,
and for that matter Amy Carter, turned out okay, but the Bush girls are so fucked up? Do Democrats just make better parents than Republicans? ;)

18. Chelsea and Amy had it harder too, being
awkward little junior high girls in the White House, but they turned out great. That is such a difficult age to be in a spotlight.

6. I have a headache too.
It's called "george bush."
By the way, I think this is the first time I've ever written the wanker's name out. I feel dirty.

Other than that, what can one expect out of the children of a pamered dimwitted drunk and clueless Stepford wife?


:dem:

12. Great...I love it when we drag family into debates
As my history of posts indicates. There's a fine line between indignation and anger that knows no bounds.

22. I have this dream
that Jenna and Barbara will someday have kids and raise them to be everything their predecessors in the Bush family weren't. That the twins will turn out to be everything their infamous grandmother is not.
