1. Oh, that poor older girl--looks like she's in her teens

That photo is gonna haunt her....:eyes:

[countingbluecars]

2. I was about to say the same thing.

Poor thing.

[dflprincess]

13. She looks mad as hell

The girls look like they're going as the Duggar Sisters for Halloween.

[Kaylee]

50. Poor baby....

The dresses are cute on the younger kids...her, not so much. :(

[Sheltiemama]

52. "Moooom! I look like a baby!"

That's how that conversation went.

[SoCalDem]

57. They could have made her a smart looking dress

with the same fabric.. shame on them for making her dress like a 7 yr old:(

[EmeraldCityGrl]

3. how creepy...n/t

[ananda]

4. Was it Halloween?

LOL

[Rockholm]

17. Displaying their home school outfits, no doubt.

[Bluebear]

29. Wouldn't doubt that a bit.

[zbdent]

5. So, are the Repukes going to slam her for doing exactly the same photo-op

that Repukes have done ... the mock swearing in with the family?

[louis-t]

6. "during a smock wearing" what?

Laura bush's dress designer?

[Maven]

7. To quote Ellen Degeneres:

These people scare me and they think we're weird...

[Solly Mack]

8. Is the one child in sandals? Isn't it cold in DC?

I'm tryng to be nice

[Bluebear]

11. It's 'fashion first' for a proper young Republican woman :)

[Solly Mack]

14. Someone needs to tell her what fashion is then :P

because it's for damn sure no one in that family can show her


Dammit! I was trying to be nice! lolol

[WI_DEM]

26. I give her props maybe it was the only way she could express her individuality.

[Solly Mack]

28. I wondered about that too.

Not knocking being the middle but she seems to be the middle sibling...and it can be a trying role (my middle sister said it was from time to time)....stuck between an older sister and 2 much younger sisters who are still the "babies"...and then there's the "only" son

The middle sibling can get lost

Still, I like my feet warm. :)

9. It is the job of all parents

to embarrass their children on every possible occasion. To do otherwise is to shirk responsibility. This is especially true for parents of teenagers.

[MattBaggins]

42. If your kids do not remind you

at least once a day; that they hate you, you are failing as a parent.

[Magleetis]

10. Is that a pledge pin

on your uniform?

[EFerrari]

12. I thought it was the Von Trapp family!

[dflprincess]

15. I said Duggars! (eom)

[Bluebear]

18. They're singing "So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen.." in this pic. You missed the first 6 daughters

They've left the picture already. :)

[Vinca]

16. It makes me think of the Von Trapp family. nt

[charlie]

19. What, no sailor suit and lollipop for Dad?

That's a really tacky thing to do to the older two.

Mom is a Clear Channel heiress, BTW. Estimates of their wealth vary widely from low double to triple digit millions.

[Bluebear]

20. 'Mom is a Clear Channel heiress' - so that's how he got elected.

On her conservative pocketbook :)

[charlie]

25. Top contributor this cycle

waaaaas...

CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS

[baldguy]

61. And the heiress doesn't get to wear a clown suit, either.

Those Clear Channel dollars will come in handy in a few years for the kids' extensive therapy sessions.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

21. That's fucking child abuse

Here's a clue-by-four for you parents out there: DON'T PUT YOUR KIDS IN MATCHING OUTFITS!!

My sister and I were dressed alike all the time and we HATED it.

[smokey nj]

22. If the Patty Duke Show and Little House on the Prairie had a kid, it would be this photo.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

23. What ugly dresses.

The little boy looks like he's about to attack something.

[WI_DEM]

24. maybe it's okay for the younger kids to look like kupie dolls but that poor teenage girl

and wearing little girl shoes to boot.

[benld74]

27. THey kept at it until they had the boy,, then once more to even out the sexes, then twins!

[Faygo Kid]

30. Triplets.

The three in front are triplets.

[spanone]

31. i see lots of therapy and drug abuse in their future..beautiful family, ugly clothes

[Ian David]

32. Nancy Pelosi with Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas...

Nancy Pelosi with Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas,and his third wife, as the children take a Virginity Pledge at the Washington, D.C. Purity Ball.

[ColbertWatcher]

34. McCaul and his THIRD wife, because the other two wouldn't do that shit to their kids. n/t

[EFerrari]

35. LOL!

[JFKfanforever]

53. Didn't they clue in Nancy to the photo-op color scheme?

She looks rather purple... 
The kids look rather FLDS...
:-)

[hamsterjill]

33. Why is it always Texas????

This is just plain embarrassing!!!

I promise you all that there are at least SOME of us in Texas who do not dress our children that way!!! LOL

[Warpy]

45. Florida was busy that day?

[onethatcares]

55. yeah, you think it's soooooooo eeeeeeasy living here in

sunny Florida. Why don't you try it?????:hi:

[no_hypocrisy]

36. They look like The King Family Singers.

[acmavm]

48. OMG! Hadn't heard that name in years. Laughing...

[rucky]

37. Give that man a vasectomy!

[Bluebear]

38. He doesn't have his "quiver full" yet.

[rucky]

39. ...

[Fire1]

40. Bluebear, you are crazy as hell! LMAO!!!

[Bluebear]

41. guilty :)

[Bucky]

43. I'm saying that oldest girl is about 6 months away from a serious goth phase

The only downside for her little rebellion being that black fingernail polish would actually go with that outfit.

[lpbk2713]

44. That poor boy had better develop a strong bladder.

He won't ever get to use the bathroom.


:eyes:

[dawgmom]

46. Caption: "Let's keep trying until we get a boy, honey."

Ugh.

[Staph]

47. Those dresses remind me

of the junior bridesmaid dress that I wore at my cousin's wedding in the mid-1960s. I was twelve years old. A few years later I despised that dress -- I'm now rather nostalgic about it. But my mother would never have forced me (or even allowed me) to wear it to any other function, especially a function that involved publishable photographs.

[L0oniX]

49. Back up singers for Hanna Montana?

[K Gardner]

51. Too much planning just could NOT have gone into those outfits !

[Sancho]

54. virginity pledge?

might as well have them wearing a chastity belt. U-G-L-Y outfits. Unhappy children. Texas guys is a liar...where is Mr. P? Who is the trophy blonde? good role models, too!

[SoCalDem]

56. What?? No matching dolls??

[ThatsMyBarack]

58. I thought Laura Bush donated her curtains to make those...

But Pickles prolly used 'em all for her own wardrobe. :crazy:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

59. "And these are the Photo-oplets."

Blue! :hi: :hug: :)

[seemunkee]

60. Mockery of a swearing in.
