when Jenna Bush was asked whether she was in McCain's corner, she was decidedly noncommittal. "I don't know," she said during an appearance Wednesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live" to discuss her wedding next month.

The GOP approval rating among first daughters is at 50%?

Based on her past actions, I move to strike "well-educated" from that headline.

Well, that's about twice what it is in the rest of the country.

Well educated does not equal "smart" or "wise".

Or to add "compared to her Father".

Obama: Higher taxes, more laws, fewer freedoms, bigger government, perpetual war.
Clinton: Higher taxes, more laws, fewer freedoms, bigger government, perpetual war.
McCain: Higher taxes, more laws, fewer freedoms, bigger government, perpetual war.

Decisions, decisions.

From TFA: She went on to say she is "open" about the presidential race and has been too busy with her books to pay loads of attention to the campaign. "I mean, who isn't open to learning about the candidates?" Jenna Bush, 26, asked.

I think we might want to take back that "well-educated" part. While I applaud her for working hard to get her degree, any well-educated person should be able to spend at least few minutes researching the stances of the people who will replace her father as the most powerful person on the planet.

She said NOTHING about Obama - she could just as easily be a Hillary supporter.

Gotta love an unbiased press

if you think that is the case, then i would suggest you pick the one that is at least going to try and add some government transparency, and is likely to not go senile during his term(s) in office.

that would be obama, by the way.

You really can't deny that she's young, a woman, or wealthy. As for the "well educated" tag, she's got a degree from UT, which is a great school.

Now, what she's DONE with that education, or if she DESERVED it, may be questions you would ask...

In a fair fight, I think Meghan would win, but Prison Rules? Jenna definitely.

All bets are off if Chelsea comes in, that well constructed facade has to hide a sociopathic killer that shows no remorse and revels in spilling the blood of her enemies.

Fireproof 2008-04-24 05:23:52 PM  
Isn't she supposed to be pregnant? And yet neither this article nor her Wiki entry say anything about it. Wait, Wonkette wouldn't try to pass off a rumor as fact, particularly one about a prominent Republican's family member, would she?

Does Obama have a hot daughter? She's probably too young.

This. I RTFA and basically she doesn't know which way she's going to vote yet. Me too. Does that make me an Obama supporter?

\waiting to see who McCain pics for VP
\\will probably vote Dem if he picks Mr.Magic Underwear

she is pretty hot...so as a woman I do give her opinion some credence...

I'm guessing that he supports RuPaul, the most hopeful candidate of all, since RuPaul promises a unicorn in every pot if only the government would stop interfering.

No, stop misrepresenting the Dr. Ron Paul's positions!

He wants us off the Unicorn standard and back on the Magic Pony standard. At least he believes in something magical. Why do you hate magic?

FTFY. You can trash the candidates all you want but McCain wants to cut taxes and let the country go bankrupt and Obama is the only one of the three who's pledged to roll back all presidential power grabs from the last administration. Hillary's still pretty much the same as what you said.

Yeah, either that or she's trying to be politely non-commital. You know, being that she's the daughter of one of (if not the) biggest political lightning rods in recent history and anything she says regarding politics will be twisted completely out of proportion (like that apparently since she hasn't decided she must be an Obama supporter according to subby and the author of TFA, for instance).

But yeah, just because she won't pick someone to stump for, she must be a moron... Oy vey...

if you think that is the case, then i would suggest you pick the one that is at least going to try and add some government transparency, and is likely to not go senile during his term(s) in office.

that would be obama none of the above, by the way.

THE FOX AND THE GRAPES

Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some plump ripe grapes hanging high on the vine. Although he leaped with all his strength, he couldn't manage to reach the grapes. As he went away, he said 'I don't need any sour grapes anyway.'

MORAL: Jenna is so far above your station in life, that you resort to disparaging that which you cannot obtain.

Yeah i was faced with the same dilemma in 2000. Gore or Bush? "What's the difference?" I asked myself. The answer was obviously nothing.
